Seat Cowl Question
 

I'd like a blue seat cowl for my K5. I looked at the Suzuki site for the price of the official part. It's listed as £42, but there is some small print -

"Prices and specifications subject to change without notice. All prices shown are manufacturers suggested retail prices including VAT and exclude fitting. Dealer prices may vary."

Indeed they do - I was quoted £66 !!!! I don't mind a bit of a margin but over 50% seems a bit steep. They wouldn't even consider ordering it until I gave them the paint code, even though I had the part number ......

Has anyone got one of these and, if so, what did you pay ? I'm wondering if different shops charge different prices. Or does another supplier make something comparable ?

the suzuki one is about the cheapest @ £42 thats what i paid, some of the other plastics companys like pyramid and powerbronze are asking £100 colour matched.

Bought mine from my local Suzuki dealer. £42 quid on the nose. Although they did mention that they manage to sell them on ebay for more .... bizarre :P

talking of ebay, there one in blue forsale...Here

worth keeping an eye on it to see how much it goes for....

:) Yeah,£42 on the button,your dealer is Greedy!!!! :roll:
Get a pukka one though.
Speedy

Tell yer dealer to naff off, you coukd get one cheaper and shipped to you for less. I guess they don't get asked for many where you live :lol:

.

I've got a blue cowl & fillets I'm looking to sell, but haven't got the bracket that replaces the grab rail - not sure if you can get the brackets separately

:? Uummmm!

Rigor is spot on. The one on e-Bay from the link above is currently sitting at a bid of £55.

For a second-hand seat cowl that you can buy new for £42 !!!! * Or am I missing something really obvious here ?




* If your local dealer isn't a rip-off merchant, that is. Actually, mine wasn't local - they were in Glasgow but there's only a couple nearer ........

It's up to £55 + £8 p&p and 13 hours to go... money to burn some people.
