OEM plastic seat cowl wanted for 93 vfr

I'm looking for an original plastic seat cowl for my 93. Probably will be tough to find but wanted to put the word out. any year 90-93 would work. also would love to find a slip on or full exhaust as well. if anyone knows of any I'd be interested. thanks, mbsawyer1@yahoo.com

 

OEM plastic is gonna be obtainable thru the dealer, some of it is discontinued depending on model year, and will be expensive. You can try bikebandit.com adn might get a little lower price than the dealer. A slip on for a 94 - 97 will work. The only catch is you have to have a mid-pipe made as the connector at the header is different on 90 - 93 models than on 94 - 97. The D&D on mine is ofr a 94 - 97 and I have a muffler shop make the mid pipe.

NM whatt I said about the plastic. I apparently cant read tonight. The seat cowl for a 90-93 is no longer available. However, if you go to ebay and search for seller vfrchuck, he can make you one. I have one from him and it is very good quality. You will have to paint it, but thats a small thing. I got mine for $60 plus shipping.

 

I appreciate the info. especially about the exhaust. I just bought a 93. been looking for one for quite a while. found a good one but without a seat cowl. ugh! thats ok. Im still happy.

 

Mine didn't have the cowl either. I found mine on ebay from seller vfrchuck. Seems like a nice guy and does quality work.

 

Vman, does vfrchuck make them for the 99 as well?

 

burner, I am not sure if he does or not but you could email him and ask.

 

so...... finding one that isnt oem means that it is going to be made of fiberglass? how does it compare to plastic as far as durability.

 

The ones the vfr chuck makes are thicker and sturdier then the ones that were offered by Honda. I take mine on and off depending on my mood and it has held up well.

 

thank you! thats great to hear. i though the fiberglass ones might be pretty flimsy. :biggrin:

 

I had to search long and hard for the cowl for my 92. I just got lucky and met someone locally that was selling the one I needed. I was told that that have been discontinued. Keep trying.........

 

I have a spare one for a 90,red,the two little tabs that lock it in place on the rear were broken off by the salesman when he showed him how it comes off when the bike was new, he replaced it and the original has been in a box ever since.Just checking what parts people have for sale or possibly trade,i'm looking for a seat

 

Are you selling the cowl? If so, im interested. Thanks.

 

vfrchuck on Ebay is THE GUY to go to for 90 - 93 seat cowls...i bought two, one that's always on, and a spare in the closet...they come without the bump pad, and are ready to paint gelcoat...

 

I've got a Yoshi slip on I'm not using. It's in great shape. I recently chopped my exaust and won't need it.

 

I just dropped vfrchuck a message letting him know that a couple of us are looking for seat cowls. I'll keep you all informed when I hear back from him. Drop me a line if you want to be notified.

 

How long ago was it that you bought them?
:spy:

 

18 December 2006, and 17 march 2007...it takes about a month to receive them, as he has to fabricate them first, then deliver, but well worth waiting for...

 

I bought mine sometime last summer. It took 2 or three weeks to get it. I am happy with the quality of it and you really can't beat the price, IMO.

 

good stuff huh? by the way do you know of anyone who has does business with Thurn Motorsport in Germany? They have a single seat tailsection for 90 - 93 viffers giving them an RC30 look...was wondering about quality, and mounting ease (or difficulty)...

I had to find him on the ebay site... Do you have better contact info?
