Okay.
How the hell do you install this seat cowl??! The front clicks like it is supposed to. I removed the rubber seal from the rear post on the cowl and installed it in the receiving hole like I think it is supposed to go on. However, the rear post will not seat itself into the seal/grommet. I added a little Tri-Flow to help it along. No go. I'm confused. |

Looks right, I didn't find any trick to it on ours. Rubber grommet goes in the rear metal piece. When putting it in, I pop the rear pin in first, then press the front until it clicks. I've read somewhere about some people having to make sure it's truly clicked in because it can pop off in some cases, but hasn't happened to me. Pics of ours:

Hmmm.
I guess I'll give the the old college try again tomorrow. I hope it works okay with the Bike Litez fender eliminator when I finally get that damn thing installed. I need to get a good lift for the bike and a nice portable heater for the garage! Brrrr! Thanks for the pics Alex. |

make sure you have the correct rubber "standoffs" between front and rear. There is a difference, with one being taller than the other. can't remember which, but it's explained in the in cowl assembly instructions. From the looks of it, you may have the rubber pieces switched.

I didn't buy it new, got it off of eBay from a guy for $61.00... he must have put them on backwards before he shipped it. Didn't come with instructions either... Cool! I'm gonna go out to the garage tomorrow and swap them around. That should make things easier. I love this forum! Thank you Mr. Kim! |

Ok, I couldn't wait so I put my slippers on and went out. I swapped them and it fits better. It actually latches now. I think the grommets need to "break in" a little bit because its a raging bitch to get it on.
Still. Much cleaner look. Now I need some sunlight so I can install my Tender Jr. leads, wire my rear LED blinkers and get the FE kit installed. I don't even have metal plates yet! |
