those black things to fill the gaps if you......
 

has anybody successfully made any of those black things to fill the gaps if you take the grab rail off of a curvy?
cos i have tried ....but they look crap?

Are you re-fitting the seat, or do you want to put a cowl on?

You can get cowls that have tabs that'll fill the gap.

I put my grabrail back on (useful for putting luggage on too) - although you can get plastic inserts appartently.

i have a cowl & i have taken the escort cosworth grab rail off i know you an get plastic bits from bandit mania £25 :shock: but you can make them out of a floppy disk.

I was going to make some out of leftover bridging fibreglass and filler... But I couldn't be bothered in the end :) Best way to do it IMO but it'd also cost, and be a fair amount of effort. The floppy discs way looks miles better than I'd ever thought it would though, seen that a few times.

if anybody made 2 pairs by mistake......... :wink: :wink: nudge,nudge

Never done it that way myself, I bought Banditmania ones ;)

[-( £25 :shock:

£19 back then... Still a little hard to justify, but you're not paying £25 for 2 small bits of filler, you're paying £25 for a rear end that doesn't look rubbish :)

I've used the corrugated tube that you use to keep computer cables tidy (If you have tidy computer cables) Simply cut off a couple of inches and glue it in.

Looks fine, takes 2 mins costs nowt if you've got some spare tube or can acquire a bit from work.

Also is flexible, so you can drag your optimate charge lead out through it if you've got a long enough lead.

My pyramid seat cowl fills the gaps.

Are the Bandit Mania ones finished in the same metalic grey as tail panel? Or are they just plain grey, ready for painting?

Same as the tail piece. Or at least mine were, and a good match too.

get a pointy and you get the filler bits with the seat cowl... :p

thats the stupidest thing i have heard all day

you are a fool :smt043 :smt044 :smt042 :smt043 :laughat: pointy

You get the same with the curvy if you get the cowl from Pyramid... I have 2... :D

But that's been said already...

114 quid though... paid 99 for my first one the other came with the bike.

Ah but Grinch, the thing is, the Pyramids one looks like a bag of old **** :) Plus, TCP cowl + shutters still costs less than the Pyramids one...

It's the TCP ones that give me the :pl: :pale: :pukel: :thumbdown: :smt078 :smt103 :smt119 :smt120

They're 'orrid.

That's what I've got... OEM one is TCP, it's just a bump.

so you're getting one then? :D

("upgrading" :wink: )
