Solo seat cowl installed and passenger seat modification.
Ok, i know. I'm a bit nuts.... Anyway, i had the idea to get the rear seat cowl so i can switch back and forth between it and my passenger seat that has my tail bag on it. Great idea!!
![]() Well, i have the BEST boyfriend and he found a unused, hell it was unopened, OEM cowl THE NEXT DAY. Someone may already see the flaw in my plan... Anyway, the cowl came in yesterday. i jump on putting it together: For what the new cost of these is they could at least assemble the damn thing. ![]() ![]() Someone seems to be spying on me in this one... ![]() ![]() And there, to the left of the cowl is my problem.... The seat cowl bracket... S***! ![]() The bracket covers the two holes the seat slides into. ![]() ![]() So my first thought was to mod the bag to fit on the cowl without scratching the crap out of it, maybe like this but cut to fit: ![]() Not ideal. So my boyfriend busts out the hot knife! You can do the same with a dremel but the battery was dead. After cutting off the mounting tabs and a bit of the plastic from the bottom of the seat we made a place for the tab on the cowl bracket to hook on the seat. ![]() Not the prettiest but not like you'll see it. The with some bending and some "spacers" (garden hose washers ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() You can barely see the tiny gap the seat has, with the bag on you done see it at all really. ![]() And the best part is the seat is still a functional seat. Not that i ride with a passenger often but having the option is nice. ![]() Very happy with the cowl! Looks so good! ![]() ![]() ![]()

Hey little red, if you do decide to sell your 300, I would be interested in your solo cowl
![]() Also what seat is that? I need shorty levers, I also need some sliders and possibly a slip on ![]() Hell, if you do decide to sell your 300, I may buy all your aftermarkets. lol (I am not trying to encourage you to sell your 300, I think you should keep her as long as you can!)

Say you have roughly $1000 worth of after market parts new, and your bike stock is worth close to 3,500. You really think you'd get 4,500? Maybe, but a brand new one of these is only $5,000 so imo it's unlikely. Again though, I really don't think you should sell your bike ![]()

![]() It depends on the market where you are. Around here "shinnies" sell rather well. And i've already sold most of the take-offs. So i realy can't take much off the bike anyway. ![]() And, no. I have 0 plans on ever leaving ninjette. Its not like i would never get another 300 again. ![]() I realy don't want to sell her.. I just don't think i can afford to keep 2 bikes if i decide to get the Bolt. This is all still very much up in the air.

I got it from mod my 250 but the site is closed.
That guy on the "other" forum, space-whatever makes them to but i don't think they look as cool. You can get them made easy enough. Just get in touch with a vinyl decal place the does custom work. Probably find something on ebay...
