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

it matches ok. good enough I didnt feel like respraying it.

I know what you are talking about now. That little gasket in the back likes to slip out when you pop it in... It was popped out the other day. then someone the front one was out on my ride home yesterday

glad I didnt pull an @saxnbass and lose it!

Oh, you would bring that up. I'm cowl less right now. So that's like kicking me when I'm already down!

massacremasses · February 14th, 2012, 05:01 PM

haha I just meant I didnt want to make the same mistake haha sorry d00d. lol

Broc · February 14th, 2012, 06:15 PM

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!

massacremasses · February 14th, 2012, 06:58 PM

word. I need to go grab a few.

yeah its to close to mess with. Was it red at one point though? there is red showing on the corners a little not much but enough i was wondering

what nuts and bolts?

saxnbass · February 14th, 2012, 07:14 PM

The ones that hold the cowl itself to the mounting bracket. It comes disassembled.

ahhh ill check it. It seemed nice and tight to me.

Broc · February 14th, 2012, 09:07 PM

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!

haha no worries I was just confused. I thought you may have painted it. Totally not trippin. Just was thought it was odd.

choneofakind · February 18th, 2012, 10:44 AM

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.

massacremasses · February 18th, 2012, 11:12 AM

thought about it but im afraid it will get to dirty to quickly...

I kinda like how its all black right now... although we will see how I feel when I get the wheels done..

IM ACCEPTING DONATIONS! lol or get me side business!

choneofakind · February 20th, 2012, 08:04 AM

This would look awesome

massacremasses · February 20th, 2012, 08:09 AM

yeah but im worried it would get dirty...

also idk if I could find one that would match...

eddiekay · February 20th, 2012, 09:05 AM

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

massacremasses · February 20th, 2012, 09:08 AM

yeah ill paint them black. I cant paint them green since the wheels are powdercoated...

eddiekay · February 20th, 2012, 09:10 AM

eeeek ?
Hey, size dont matter and a REAL MAN would cover those weights with fur...pink fur

massacremasses · February 20th, 2012, 09:13 AM

lol unfortunately that would not match... that is my real issue. Matching

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...

massacremasses · February 20th, 2012, 11:13 AM

@Momaru had found some place I thought, but I cannot find the thread.... :/

Sad face.

I am in not in a hurry, but it's definitely a project I want to do... I was also thinking carbon fiber fabric would look cool too...

saxnbass · February 20th, 2012, 12:39 PM

Justin... green seat... do it!

massacremasses · February 20th, 2012, 12:46 PM

haha DAMNIT you guys are making this more expensive! lol Ill try but first I NEED those new tires!!

then adjustable levers. my left hand cramps because they are so small and I have a hard time grabbing them.

ForceofWill · February 20th, 2012, 12:49 PM

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

saxnbass · February 20th, 2012, 12:51 PM

Oh, quit your crying, $15 for a yard of marine vinyl isn't going to kill your bank.

not sure where to get it in that color. Its a lot easier to photoshop rather than buy it... :/

saxnbass · February 20th, 2012, 02:36 PM

BAM!

massacremasses · February 20th, 2012, 02:42 PM

think that lime punch matches? idk....

choneofakind · February 20th, 2012, 04:07 PM

Try it. Then if you don't like it and/or you have extra, send it my way with those bar ends so that I can put it over my pillion seat so it looks like a cowl-ish thing when I'm ridin solo

massacremasses · February 20th, 2012, 04:37 PM

but then thats a waste of $20+ DUDE im poor! haha You guys think Im made of money

I promised id get my wifes windows tinted and want to start on her sound system. Plus I wanna get those tires asap!!

Honestly if I try this its gonna be last cause I have a lot of stuff I want now that I know will work great.

ForceofWill · February 20th, 2012, 04:41 PM
