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.

£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.
