  • Purchased a seat cowl

    I've been looking for a seat cowl for my bike for a long time.

    my Kat



    I actually didn't get a Braada, but I barrowed the pics from the website. I got one off of ebay for a fairly good price. IMO






    But the next problem I have is, what color to paint the cowl? It's hard to tell from my pic of my bike, but it is a custom purple/grey color that the previous owner painted it.

    Should I ....
    - Try to find a shop that would color match the new cowl? ( how much $ and where)
    - Rattle can job (black) on cowl and back half of the bike?
    - Rattle can job (black) on cowl and lower fairing?

    Let me know what you guys think.

    Black...matches EVERYthing and is, afterall, the fastest color.

      If the bike is the same color all over, I say try to match the cowl.
      This "Phat Chick" rides her own!!!
      BTW, I think they may have been correct. It does appear that BLACK is indeed the FASTEST color. R.O.R...R.I.P.M

          get it matched, you'll be glad you spent the extra money to do it properly.

            I say to get it matched to your bike as well. Your bike in only one color.

                I think bikes look the best all one color- maybe then add a second color with lettering or stripes. But remember it won't be as fast as black!

                      Match the color, got a queston for any one. Has any one ever used Custom Trenz out of TX. I wanted to use them to order a seat cowl for my 06 KAT. Any good or bad vibes considered.

                        I ordered a Braada like 5 months ago and haven't gotten anything back yet. Does anyone know if they are still making them, or did I get had?

                          If you love it, let it go. If it comes back to you, you've high-sided!
