3rd Gen Seat cowl

Does any other gen cowl fit? I can't get a definitive answer anywhere....

 

The definitive answer is NO. However there is an aftermarket option from Airtech Streamlining which comes unfinished.

Yeah $228 plus painting and cutting. Sucks. Oh well, thanks though

 

You must be looking at the entire 1 piece tail section with the integrated cowl. They do sell a separate stand-alone cowl for around $80 but it still needs paint too.

 

The 80 pesos or so is less than Father Honda charged for the cowl in 1990. The Airtech stuff is pre primed and nearly ready for finish paint.

Unless it has to be red (red being one of the fastest colors according to lore) Take a look at my mach 1 91. The paint is three coats of black wrinkle paint. This may be hard to believe but the best wrinkle paint I have found is from Harley-Davidson.

Now the techy part: Wrinkle paint is a good medium heat paint.. Headers and pipes no; forget it. The trick to even wrinkling is three coats. First coat in one direction. Second coat at 90 degrees and the third coat on a diagonal. All three coats can be applied from the rattlecan as soon as the previous coat flashes off. The flash off is when the surface goes from shiny or reflective to dull or matte. A hair dryer is good for drying plastic parts. Heat guns if carefully used are good but it really easy to blow it..

Do not ask why I know this.
