Rear seat cowl
I was wondering, is there any other place to get a cowl besides dealer ordered? I went to the dealer today and asked, and it is $140 for the cowl. I don't know, but feel like that is really steep.

I bought mine last year from www.leesonsmotors.com
They have them right now for $95.96 (new). I paid 89.99 last summer. Shipped fast and was the cheapest dealer I found. http://www.leesonsmotors.com/eshoppr...SEAT_COWLS.htm

I bought mine from Fatbikez. Doug is really great, really outstanding customer service and communication. I paid $108. It is harder to get companies to ship overseas w/o charging a limb. As far as quality, it looks good, construction seems solid, install was easy, right side is flush, left side has a bit of a gap but I think this is for the helmet holder hook in the passenger seat compartment area (I've tried to hang a helmet on that with the cowl, it works but I'm not comfortable with it). Something to note that I didn't think about, if you are planning to use a cargo net, the surface area is slippery compared to the original seat so this may require adaptation on your part. I haven't figured it out yet myself, then again I have a couple of tail bags so no biggie or rush at this point.
