carbon fiber rear cowl

Texas Boy · 10-06-2011, 03:57 PM

I just installed this carbon fiber rear cowling on my bike. At first the rear had a terrible gap between it and the tail section. I then grinded off part of the mounting bolt guides and now it fits very nice. I bought it on ebay for $210. I am pretty happy with it.

I got it in about 2 weeks. I am very happy with the quality, I just wish it would have fit perfectly right out of the box.

Have you thought about a carbon tail unit? I bought one last year, at that time it wasnt a lot dearer than the carbon cowl... (and noooo gaps)

It doesn't utilize a locking mechanism? Just two screws? What do they attach to?

Thanks

There are two screws that hold the bottom portion of the cowling. You remove those two screws and the new screws go in those holes. It is a very simple straight forward installation. It takes one minute to do. There is a You Tube video out there showing how to do it, but it is not needed.

I am not sure who you are "low balling"? I don't sell these, I simply bought one. I like it and and would buy another one if I didn't have one.
