heres what i find to replace rear cowl rubber grommet and its a better fit ,tighter even, got it at Lowe's for $1.20

lol.. can you take a pic of the actual grommet? all I see is the ripped open packaging? also can you still lift up the rear of the cowl? and when you take off the cowl does the grommet come off as well? thanks for sharing. :D

ill take pic of it tomorrow ,cause it a tight fit both on cowl and metal bar

Ha i was thinking the same thing wheres it at?

Was kinda funny with a pic of the open package. If it was a pic of just the grommet, Iam sure somebody would of been saying... Thats nice, but what kind.. what the p/n. < what isle is it on :D

Some good info none the less :)

here r the new pics of rubber grommet and install on bracket ,its a tight fit u can hear it snap in place when u push the back side down, its on the isle where the bolts and washer are, its in a draw mark rubber grommets, you can even see the shape of the post from the cowl,and when i remove cowl rubber stays on the bracket,i think it works well

Does the rear cowl seem like it has a flusher fit? This is one of my main issues with the cowl and if they makes a better fit I'd lov to get it...cheap fix :)

here r before and after[ATTACH] i used the two small rubber stops from rear seat added small cushion to ea one ,left the two back rear cowl rubber stops on , took off locking bar off bent it with long socket slightly,done

I know this is a zombie thread, but I must say that the grommet he recommends works very very well. The picture he has is kind of hard to read but it is a Hillman 0.71 mm 31/32OD x 1/2ID grommet. The item number is 08236 71652 for anyone that needs one. I discovered that mine was missing and luckily I happened upon this thread.

Thanks for the recommendation ninjablk08. Much appreciated.

I just lost my grommet last night, perfect timinhg thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!

Was there something there to begin with? I never saw it. My two rubber dampers from the seat went missing in the first week of ownership. I made sure to insert the replacements FULLY and I've never had a problem since with contant use of the helmet hooks, so they simply weren't installed correctly from the factory. Your wording makes it appear that you removed them yourself.

I have noticed that although the rubber grommet looks like it's similar on both sides, my rear cowl will stay perfectly good in place with the grommet the right way. If you turn it upside down it will fall through the frame when your put on the seat cowl, and if it does not fall off, it will within a few miles of driving.

I've put 2 safety velcro incase the cowl falls off, but 2k miles and so far it hasnt loosened at all. So no need for replacement grommet.

Another way is to go to cheapcycleparts.com and click on their OEM parts link. The grommet is part number 92071-056 and damper is 92075-1876.

Yeah I have looked too with no luck! Anyone have the web link?

i wonder if this will be available in the canadian lowes...

Here's what I did so I don't lose that valuable grommet as one day I noticed my cowl just hanging there--I almost lost it and have read about many that have lost their entire cowl because Kawi didn't make them so great--although they are so pretty!

I think I saw someone on this forum do this as well......if you've got some zip ties...you won't lose your grommet or your cowl...
