Can somebody take a picture for me?

Can somebody take a picture of the underside of their solo cowl for me. Maybe a quick video clip of how it mounts. I am going to try to modify my 2006 Hayabusa solo cowl to fit on my SH. Haven't had any luck trying to buy a real one. Always a few minutes too late when they pop up. Thanks in advance.

Update

The Hayabusa cowl I had sitting around was almost the right shape. Just not close enough to fit even with cutting. Too wide at the base. I thought maybe I could get away with shaving just a bit off. If I cut too much it'll look stupid and I was hoping for the extra cargo room to keep some spare fuel in. Back to the drawing board.

Another question for you guys. If I'm attaching the cowl is it bolting to the location where the strap goes?

There are two pins on the bottom of the seat next to the hooks that it clips on to.

I saw those gold pins and actually wondered if that was for the cowl. Then I thought nah must be for if you want to tie something on top of the seat. Thanks for clearing that up. I've only ever had the two separate seats where the cowl replaces the seat all together.

I was trying to find a aftermarket manufacture. Thanks for that lead. I'll have to see if I can get one from them. That would make it a lot easier. The only one I have found this week was $124 scratched and one of the tabs is cracked. Very steep price for the condition.
