How's the seat cowl matching up? I was hoping you wouldn't have to repaint it! Looking good though, best color!

lol....ya bad design on Kawasaki's parts. That grommet idea is garbage.
That's why I included that part # for a replacement at your local hardware store. If you keep a fresh grommet in you shouldn't have too many issues. If you remove the cowl off & on a lot the grommet wears out and likes to come loose. The grommet I sent was one I had been using for several months. I bet a fresh grommet would hold a lot better. They are usually like $0.30-0.50. I always kept several on hand and in the tool bag! Glad the paint matched up! You can't even tell from the photos!

I noticed that too Justin. I bought the cowl straight from Kawasaki and it is 100% OEM. New out of the box I noticed the red on the underside of the cowl. They don't paint the underside very well! You wouldn't think they all started out painted red first then on too different colors! I have seen stranger though. I always figured the primer was just red? You are for sure the 2nd owner and I never repainted it!

Are you planning on replacing the material on the seat and cowl bumper with lime green material? You could likely find some at your local arts supply store and do the upholstery work yourself for relatively cheap.

J....going back towards the beginning of the thread....dyna beads....put them on my FZ6 and they worked immediately to stop a high speed thump in my front wheel. Now...the thump is back...maybe 1k miles. It's not much money but buying 4 packs of beads and the gadget that gets them into the wheel cost me more than weights and balancing off bike at a shop....and the problem came back ??? Hey...as for hiding the wieghts...why hide them? Paint them, what, black on a green wheel, green on a black wheel

That would look killer though, even if it did get dirty!
I have a spare seat (when I bought the bike, the seat had a tear, but the guy already had bought a replacement seat, so I got both) that I want to wrap in red, but I have yet to find a place to buy the material... I have been looking, but have not found a material that looks durable enough...

Definitely need the green seat with the wheels. You also need HIDs and paint the shutter neon green.
