seat cowl

First topic message reminder :

on the lookout for a seat cowl for my 96 cat. if you have a spare lying around give me a shout. cheers

not finished the cowl yet but have been able to fit it to the bike. all i can say is that it looks awesome and makes the bike so complete now. so happy, and it makes me think what an idiot i would have been if i sold it.

Rosco, apart from the Yamaha badge on his hairy left arm, you have got it

You Tel are just a big tease lol, I can see some black on top but cant make anything out.

Is your main paint scheme on the bike plain white or pearl white? How are you spraying the hump?

Paul, plain white mate. TBH i dropped lucky, was shopping with the mrs in a B&M store and in the small paint section, they had some auto gloss white rattle cans at a £1 a pop. after a test spray with it i decided to use a dark grey primer and it was a perfect match.

Did you use a plastic primer? It is slightly flexible for plastics so wont crack if flexed.

A tip for when having the hump on is affix a rubber trim to the base edge as you'll find it will rub on the tail and wear through the paint.

yes Paul, i used a plastic primer, and thanks for the advice regards the wear issue, i did notice when it was black the paint was rubbed off around the grab rail base area.

Re: the decal on the tank, how about this wee puppy (all shamelessly nicked from bing images), could change the "Racing Team" lettering to "Thundercat" perhaps.
