Rear seat cowl

Ive been looking for a rear seat cowl for a while now. havnt been able to find one i really like...until now.
There was a bandit in the show and shine at EC yesturday. he had the genuine suzuki seat cowl, he got send over from America.
I had a look and looks good quality.
They had em on sale for around AU$200 posted to my door. So i baught one. Ill post up some photos when it arrives.

interesting! I had seen one online, but what I'd be keen to find out is whether there is any (usable) space at all.

I dont think it adds any space under the seat unfortunately

i'm thinking space between the seat & the underside of the cowl

I have also been hunting a genuine Bandit single seat conversion - finally sourced one from Midwest Action Cycles. http://www.midwestactioncycle.com/eshopitems_cat_5362-4167-17487-41404_limit_n.more.htm
It was very reasonably priced and arrived by mail in 12 days from ordering. Perfect fit and colour. I am so impressed that I have now ordered the lower fairing, tank cover and 3-piece hard pannier kit from the same company. Even those parts I can get here, I can get from USA cheaper!

Recommend this company to anyone looking for hard-to-get Bandit bits.

Also fitted a Pro-Oiler 12 months ago and have not needed to adjust the chain in 10,000km!

Watch this space for pix.

re the above site - there is a pretty nifty hugger there i am rather tempted to buy

Midwest Action Cycles has been very good to deal with; wish I could find a Suzuki dealer in Oz that was nearly as professional.

Their price was substantially lower than the list price. The seat is great, saves 50% on registration too.

that the one im looking at buying.
Looks good. can you give us a side photo of the bike from a little distance so i can see what she looks like

What did you have to do at the RTA to get 50% off or was it CTP the you saved on.

Usually the RTA make people give up there first born & pull teeth at the same time if they want a $1 off

Can't find a decent pic of the rear hugger, but have seen one and will be adding it to my shopping list. MAC have them for $195US; $35US less than list price.

Dunno bout other states - but Reardo

that made me laugh.

In Qld, you need to get a compliance plate fitted by an approved shop (list available from Main Roads) changing the seating capacity from 2 to 1. Then fill in some forms and its all good.

Cameron, will post another pic first chance I get.

I trickily cut and pasted the part number and found it on another site [and the cowl looks ace too]
