Default Seat Cowl from SAC

I was gonna post some photos but Steve was quicker

So I talked to Steve about getting one of these and he told me the price 210 for cowl + 30 for passenger handle replacement. The price included shipping and paint. Actually the price would have been a little more since it was two color but he forgot to include that in the quote and was willing to take the loss.
When cowl was ready he noticed that it was cracked. He notified me and we decided to get it fixed. It was not a big deal but I was afraid of the crack getting bigger and also not being able to match the paint. Finaly it was fixed and it took 7 business days for it to arrive. I will buy from him again!

I must say I was very impressed with OEM color matching. It is perfect! The quality of the plastic seems to be good also. The handle replacement pieces are nice as well. I've seen some on the photos not aligned very well but that is not the design fault. FYI, they are much thinner than original ones so to make it more stable and better aligned get some rubber gaskets to fill in the space.
Some photos below

Sweet. It actually makes the back of the bike in front of the garage look bigger in the picture.

Thanks everyone!
I know it is not cheap. I had to save some money for it too. But, if you look for at Honda OEM that doesn't look this good, and it comes not painted for $160. Than IMO this is a much better deal.

There are cheaper options available. This one is so expensive because of the custom pain job, cushion, plugs, and shipping charge.

Find me here or PM me for other cowl options...

Does this increase storage at all? It appears to have higher profile than stock?
