Random question...i have a 97 gs500e..does someone make a solo cowl for it do you have to replace the whole tail section to get the single seat? i also have a 99 katana and I know they make one for it but wasnt sure on the gs.
There was one made. Good luck finding it though.

Cowl Tech's solo cowl. its a kind of expensive, but cheaply designed one. take some effort to make it fit properly
check this out.

the tail section of this kit fits over the seat. once again, pricey, but cool.

That is if you can ever get them to ship it to you. Took 4 months and LOTS of biatching at them.
Balu Racing has some nice rear cowls. I had them and have sold them since I use the Gimbal solo seats.

Google will happily translate it for you. $51 or so. No idea on shipping though.

that looks nice. any details on installation technique?
that one does look great! any photos from the back??
Just wanted a cowl to break things up. It's fitted by cable ties. I took a dremel to the side plastics so the attachment tabs would slide down and cable tie inside the grab bars.. Also it's tied at the rear and rear sides. Looks okay to be fair. This is an old pic, it is now decorated with numbers cafe racer style!
I considered removing the grab bar and fitting it flush, but I realised I needed the grab bar for when I work on it in the driveway. It's extremely handy so it had to stay.

commencing ebay search... now lol
Scheiße! The cowl is 39 Euros ($45) but the shipping is 45 Euros. Krikey!
Order more than one - go in with other people. That spreads the shipping out across all items and makes it less per item.
I always order extra stuff from European companies. Usually it is a fixed shipping rate up to a certain weight.
I had the :E: and :F: cowls, rear hugger and belly pan. Sold all to board members. I still have 2 of their undertails. Probably should sell one and use one on a project. Cooler than chopping off a fender.
Got in some 1990-2000 clip on bars. One bar: 40 euros shipping. 6 bars: still 40 euros postage. If not sold in the USA, you have to pay the postage if you want it bad enough.

Do those undertails fit the newer F style tails? If so, I would be really interested in one.
I'd be interested in an R undertail. Those looked pretty cool. You parting with any?
