Police rear seat cowl?
So, here I log into my favorite 250 site and up pops this picture that I am about to skip past as I delve into the latest unread posts when my eyes actually look at the picture.
What is this magic box and where do I get it??? That rear cowl looks perfect!

As far as I know, that box contains the radio system.

I'm pretty sure it's Malaysia as well. Here's a thread about the ninja 300 police bikes over there:
http://www.ninjette.org/forums/showthread.php?t=120832 Somewhere here there is a thread about the 250 versions from a few years ago, with that picture you saw.

Here's another earlier thread with the new-gen versions, but it still doesn't have that same exact white picture:

Yeah, I've seen the Malaysian force, though the only problem with their cowl is A ) it's on a 300 and B ) it looks like they just bolted a strong box on top of the cowl.
That's what really caught my eye about the gallery pic, it's on a 250 and it looks like the cowl is molded to resemble the stock part - at least from the back anyway! I'll have to just figure out a way to find that pic in here. But that also got me thinking, just how does one go about ordering police parts. Like the saddlebags or crash bars. Cops have to carry a lot of stuff and it has to be durable. So how does the public get our hands on it?

So, in others words, I'd probably be better off learning how to craft ABS plastic and make my own, huh?

The latches and hinges look so lazy and lame.
I think you would be better off buying some pre made universal plastic abs saddle bags and making your own frame and hinge kit.... then you get some extra locks and key them to your ninjette key. flush mount GLORY! you are making me imagine a new winter project !!!! hmmmm dun dun dun ..... |

Teri, you can fit an ENORMOUS amount of soft/stuffable... um... stuff inside the tail compartment. The "cheeks" are hollow*.
I've put a full-sized bike cover in there. You can also put a small stuff sack up inside the cowl (assuming you have one) to carry small items. *Note that I could have said "you can stuff a whole bunch of crap inside the cheeks of your tail" but I didn't. 'cause I'm classy like that. Oh wait, I did. Never mind.

I've been using the void in the cheeks to hold the bungee cord for my disk lock. If I could remove those covers easier, I'd totally use stuff sacks in there to hold rain gear or emergency supplies. I may try cramming the jacket and pants liner in each side and seeing if removing them is efficient enough for getting out and on when caught in a downpour. Edit: nice to see my grommet isn't the only one that has issues. That rear peg on the cowl is a PITA!

Liners are too thick to stuff easily into the cheeks but I did borrow your string idea and bungeed them into the bump of the cowl. All fits nice up in there and now I have rain liners with me all the time.

Hurm, wonder what the capacity is on that? I've managed to get a tail bag that I like but a hard locking case would be better for longer runs. Plus it looks like its removable so I can carry my fuel canisters along under it.
Thanks! (FYI, if you throw an @ before someone's name, the site "mentions" them and they will either get an email notice or a flag at the top of the page. Like: @Kevin1956. But thanks for the PM linky.)

It attaches exacly like the seat. It probably holds a lot. Not extremely attractive, but if the lid was painted to match the bike it may not look so clunky.

LOL probably no less clunky and unattractive than the drooping bag I have now.
