What's the deal with the seat cowls?
My bike didn't come with the seat cowl but it seems like most Superhawks I see pics of have the seat cowl. I think it looks really sharp and at first thought it was just an aftermarket part. But after seeing so many stock-ish looking bikes with the cowl I'm starting to think it was an OEM part. I looked on eBay thinking I'd see tons of them but I see like 2 and some listings without any pictures so I don't know what to think.

Where can I get one? Is it super expensive?

Due to them being OEM, there wasn't a huge aftermarket avialability like other bikes. They pop up on here for sale every so often. I would post a WTB in the classifieds. Just my .02

Or just buy a new one from ronayers.com or other online seller. ( or dealer if you don't mind full price)

When I had my 99 CBR F4 there wasn't an OEM cowl that I know of but everyone had aftermarket or converted the tail/seat to the newer CBR RR seat so they could use a 2 piece seat. So when I saw SH's with seat cowls I figured they were ALL aftermarket and was surprised it was an OEM piece.

Looks really sharp though and I think it makes the bike look a little meaner/sportier. I posted a WTB ad, good idea btw, didn't think of that.

I looked on ronayers.com but the descriptions are like "COWL, RR. SEAT *NH1*" and I'm not sure how to read the color or make sure it's the right thing since theres no pic. It is like $91.96

I just looked on bikebandit.com and they had it listed for $93.91 but didn't list the colors. I started thinking maybe they just come in primer and I'm supposed to have it painted?

Oh wow that'd be great if they had one in blue. Were those 2 the only 2 colors they had? I was looking on the site and can't figure out how you searched for those.

Look under your seat, on the rail. You should see a sticker with a color code. If not, I'm sure someone here knows the code. yep, new, about $100.

$100 brand new, paint color matched with factory quality.
Partszilla.com or Ronayers.com which ever is cheaper

Motosport.com and rockymountainatv.com have OEM parts. They both can get the cowl. You can also call your local dealer but you'll have to pay full price either way.
