Anybody got a single seat cowl for an 86/87 VFR750 they want to sell?

As the title says, I'd like to acquire a single seat cowl for my 86 750. I think I'll be getting some paintwork done so pristine condition would be nice but not essential. I know I'm probably far from many of you but I have bought parts from all over though eBay so shipping costs won't put me off.

 

I'll keep an eye out for one mate...

 

Don't forget the U.S. models did not have the relief for the rear handle. I don't know if they are different in other ways too, but knowing Honda, likely.

 

Went out for a spin a few weeks ago & left my cowl on. The wife found it really slippery... lol. Let her have the seat on the way back...

 

2 X on the solo seat cowl. Need to hide that piece of seat from the world.

 

Here's what you're up against. Asking 165 for this POS

Apparently, Airtech fairings makes these too for $83, but no response to my query as yet.

 

If it needs to be painted anyways, might be a good option. Finding a pad will be difficult, but I suppose one could me made from wood or some plastic cutting board material.

There could be a lead time depending how much demand they have had for those. But probably not a big deal, doesn't keep the bike from being ridden.

 

I have a lead on one that I believe has a pad. According to my source it needs paint. I asked for pics so when I get them I'll post them here.

 

Be careful with the air tech. they need a lot of prep before paint, although I guess the piece is not very large so it may not be the end of the world. That ebay is missing the part that attaches to the tail correct? I may not need one anyway...the CHP just told me that my engine was stolen and I may not be able to title it. Its's a cluster and my wife and I don't think he knows what he is doing. Sorry for the highjack.

 

The tab is missing on the ebay one, but can be created.

Engine #s are not tracked in my experience (here in Washington State at least... not at all). Be sure they realize Honda engine #s don't match frame numbers.
jesus christ, what an ordeal.

 

I got a reply from Airtech overnight:
"Yes we still make those parts. Please see below for your quote. Everything is made to order and our current production time is 4 weeks. We would love to help you with your project."

The quote was for US$83 for the part and $102 for the freight...the joys of being far away. I'll think about that one for now.

Don't tell my wife but I bought a set of stock 2nd hand exhausts from Japan for $20 +$220 freight, on the plus side DHL had them to me in 5 days!

 

oooo exhaust parts!! California is the only state to track engine numbers..ridiculous. I will stop highjacking now. Which Japanese website for the exhaust?

 

I found a site called Croooober; it all worked out well for me.

 

so pretty. Thanks for the Crooober
