Pillion seat cover

[blazer]

I was just quoted $315 for the OEM rear plastic seat replacement. That seems a little steep for what it is - but it did include the painting and lock set. Is there another option out there that anyone knows of?

Thanks!

Are you talking about a new cover to replace the existing rear seat? Or are you talking about the rear seat cowl (goes in place of the stock rear seat)?

If it's the latter, that's actually a darn good price (relative to MSRP). I would agree it is still steep though. I think A&S Cycles has them for $346 and then you have to buy the hardware kit and a lock kit (if you don't want to swap yours over from your stock rear seat).

I was going to go that way and put the plastic cover on mine, however I decided to go this way instaed....

............I think its looks super cool easy install with any staple gun and you can still carry a pillion plus its cheaper and does both seats, the rider seat pad has a different material too like suade super no slippy!!!! Colin.

Yup. Talking about a rear seat cowl.

I took off the rear pegs and replaced them with tie down hooks, so I thought I would pull the seat as well and replace it. Plu I manage to hook a boot or leg on the forward right corner of the thing every time I get off the bike and I'm afraid it is going to start to look ratty soon.

Considering my bike is Thunder Grey, a piece of carbon fiber might look sharp. But then I have no business complaining about the OEM price now do I?

Thanks!
