Found: Seat Cowl

Looking for an OEM seat cowl / cover. My '98 Italian Red Super Hawk was missing it when I bought it. I bought one of the new Chineseium ones off AliExpress and it's just crap. Terrible fit.

Doesn't matter what color, it is as I'm re-painting the plastics anyway thanks to a couple of cracks in the mid fairings..

Original Honda cowls come up on eBay. There's a black one that looks a bit rough and a yellow one that looks pretty good on there now. All three tabs appear intact on both. There's also a black one with a broken tab.

The yellow one will be the faster.

I ended up ordering one off eBay from vtr1000f’s reply.

So I'm clear on this, "the yellow one looks good". Really?

The seat cover / cowl, yes, though I don't see it now. Not the rear tail / cowl. That's a piece of ****. But, at least it's not red.

I managed to score one on eBay. I am in process of repainting the whole bike so color didn’t really matter. The paint that I ordered is just off enough from the factory red (despite ordering the correct paint code.) that I can’t skip anything. I’m finished with the fairings. I need to tackle the tank, fenders, and belly pan next warm day we get.

FYI Captain I’ve managed to buy some various parts off their website over the last couple years, including my red seat cowl. I guess maybe it just depends on what you’re looking for…? Paint job/bike is looking good brother! 🤙🏻
