Wouldn't do it from Cowltech (think that is who it was) BAD Folks I heard from a lot of members here. Think they are stickied it too!

Mary

Cowltech is a pain in the butt. I got one and it took 3 months and lots of calls with "Oh, I'll send you tracking...". Once they said the package was lost and is in the lost package depot in Illinois. If there - why couldn't it get sent to me? Why didn't get returned to them? Just liars!

My ambitions are on hold right now as there seemed to be too little interest in an "F" seat cowl to go to the expense make them. I do have about 4 different ones I bought as examples. I suppose I could send the cowltech to my friend in LA and have them duplicate it.

If your friend in LA did that what do you think the price would be? I'm def interested in one I still use the one Cafeboy sent me for my birthday a couple of years ago!

Mary

Oh, we get birthday presents? Mine is end of March. Surprise me!

Id be intrested!

I will be in if the price is right..

Me too if it would fit an 2001 gs

I'd like one too.

Well, you know being the girl of the forum I get treated a little "differently" ahem. LMAO

what would you like for your B-day dear Adidas? Not like I could get you a GS part you got just about every danged extra part ever made for them. I'll just stop by the Adidas store and as long as it says "Adidas" on it you'd love it! That's it I'll find the strangest thing I can that has an Adidas label on it and give it to you!

Mary

Oh, March 24

You love the photo of me in my adidas underwear. Always glad to model the latest fashion. Blue or white on Suzi. Red or black on Junior.

As far as a concern for paint, I would paint these for like 20 bucks plus the cost of the paint if you send me the cowl and specify the base coat you want used.

Really would love one this style... If not I guess I may have to make one myself later on down the road..

For those interested, there wasn't that much interest to make one AND I had found it is a stock item from Balu Racing in Germany for 39 euros. Available for the older seats (1989-2000) and the newer seats (2001+)

loving the seat cowls. I decided to just get a yard of vinyl fabric from ebay ($10) and recover (well cover OVER) the rear part of my stock seat. I mocked it up with white fabric from the fabric store (cost me $2) and i think i like the look. I'll even paint a blue stripe on the vinyl cover so it looks a lot more like the seat cowl in the pics up above.  Here are some pics of my gs500 with the mocked up seat cover.

I'm curious if that will lift once you hit highway speeds?  I can see the wind tucking around you and pulling the fabric up like a kite?  I could be wrong though.

Not to be a jerk, but that vinyl one would only look good from a distance. It looks rather cheap in the picture. I cant imagine it would stay on either.

Hey adidasguy,

You mentioned that you were getting a couple from germany. Just out of curiosity, did you order these ones? If so, could you post pictures with them on your bike.

Thanks

I haven't updated you guys on the seat cover lol sorry about that!! The cover you saw on the seat was just for me to see what it could look like if I covered it, that wasn't the ACTUAL fabric that I was going to use. This is what it looks like now with the white vinyl covering. It is stapled to the bottom of the seat like the original and no it does not flap up or move in any way!!

I did get them in. Since I put a carrier on Suzi, I never put the cowling on. Seemed out of place with the carrier so I sold it to another member that needed a rear cowl for licensing (single seat cheaper in his country than one that carries a passenger.)
Since I had Junior as a solo bike and sometimes Trey, I just didn't need it. Then I got that custom seat for Suzi so she's just fine without a cowling.
