Seat cowl question - SV650.org

Looking at getting an oem seat cowl. I have a renntec rear rack i sometimes use. Does anyone know if i am able to still use the rack with a seat cowl in place. When i fit the rack it is a straight swap with the grab handle and bolts to the exact point the grab rail goes. Was wondering what the additional mount that comes with the grab rail is attached to and any pics would be appreciated.

It should be okay. The OEM cowl is a straight swap for the seat, and you can leave the grab rail in place if you want to. Of course, you can also remove it, and fit the little spacers to fill the gaps left for a completely near rear end.

The cowl's cost £42 from Suzuki, so make sure that you're not being ripped off with the old £72 price.

Thanks Billy thats just what i needed to know. Looks Like all i need to do is remove the lil spacers that fill the gaps and attach the rack. I get 10% off everything at my dealers and so it should be just under 38 quid....better order one in the morning
