End tail cover thing (seat cowl)

reabo · January 21st, 2013, 05:46 AM

Hi i bought like a tail hump thing for my ninja. The old seat unlocks off and the new end tail thing has a washer that fit in a hole then the hump locks in and the other end fits in the washer hole.

My problem is i lost the washer. Is there a name for it so i could buy another one?

Also what is the official name for this hump thing. : P

Thanks

A seat cowl.

I've been looking into purchasing one but need to get some more "functional" parts first.

Ah, thats the name

Ty

Any idea where i can get a washer for a seat cowl? Or will any washer do?

You could always try contacting the company you bought the cowl from and see what they can do. Or see if a typical washer will do the trick? I can't see any harm in trying different options seeing if any sit right in there or not.

But please remember - I don't have one and not only that - I've never assembled/"installed" one before!

I'm kinda looking for a 3rd party one. The washer is strange it has a groove inside . Its like adouble washer.

I was hoping someone that has replaced theres before might know of where to buy one that doesn't cost £5 lol.

I bought the whole thing brand new for £20!

The grommet can be found at hardware stores. I found mine at a home depot...not sure what the equivalent store in the UK would be. But it was in the washer/nut/bolt section.

I guess it depends where you are. But you should be able to find a hardware store (i.e. somewhere that sells screws, bolts, hammers etc).

In the post I linked, right at the start there's a picture of the bag that the grommet comes in. You could always find a store and just tell them you want to order one of those if they don't have it in stock.
