Buying a rear seat cowl from ebay

Post by Vukie »

Anyone bought one for a ZX6R? i own the blue model so im worried i might get one in the 05 blue when i own the 06 blue

Does anyone know the correct part number or can they reccomed a place to buy it from? at the moment im looking at this one and it looks liek the right colour and the price is about 50% of what they sell for locally

I got mine from a local dealer...

Give them a call and see how much they sell them for, if i remember correctly it wasnt more xepensive than ebay.

Good luck

Best price i got from a dealer was $220, i can get this one for about $120 delivered.

I emailed the seller and he said that the cowl is the 06 gloss blue....

hmm in Aus 05 was the glossy blue and 06 was the matte blue does anyone know if america go the same colours we got?

i paid $220 for mine thru a dealer, it was there in 2 days, in the right colour... to me it was worth the extra $$ to not have the worry...

ended up buying mine from a dealer, prices have come down which was a suprice as i got it for $197, and not the $220 i was originally quoted. Bough tit from Image motorcycles in Gosford.

Fitted it up and the colour matches perfectly as expected for genuine Kawasaki parts and the fit is excellent, have read of a few guys complaining about the gap not being even the whole way round but i just fitted a washer to one side of the frame to lift the cowl up a tad on the bit that was fouling and she now sits sweet!

good decision... $197 vs trying to get it painted right...

I've bought bike parts from them over the last year and their service has been excellent. They're also on Ebay
