Seat Cowl

[jeddi03]

Hi,

I have been looking at the similarities of the rear end of the Busa and the Katana and I am wondering if anyone has tried to modify the seat cowl for the busa to fit the katana.

I have not personally held a katana seat cowl and a busa cowl side by side to see the similarities but from pictures they do not look that far apart.

So basically just wondering if anyone has ever wondered this themselves, or if anyone knows how similar or different the two are. Or maybe I'm just chasing dreams of just modifying a cheaper cowl instead of just buying and waiting for the katnana cowl.

Thank you

Jedd

good question, lol

The kat seat cowls are molded to fit the contours of the kat seats. I highly doubt that you would be able to make a busa cowl fit... however I've read that with enough free time, fiberglass, and sanding... they aren't that hard to make.

There is one member that put the subframe, seat and rear plasics of a busa on his Kat. I just can't remember who it was though..

Steve's right, they aren't that hard to make. If you are crafty enough, you can make your own.....I did.....I made both smooth and humped ones, preferred the smooth, so that is what is on my bike now. Here is what you'll need:
plastic wrap
duct tape
fiberglass mat and cloth
fiberglass resin w/hardener
plastic filler w/hardener
lots of sandpaper, gotta make it smooth ya know
primer
paint
clear coat
LOTS OF PATIENCE

good luck if you try to do it on your own........oh, and do it outside or with the garage door open so your wife doesn't get all upset with you for making the house stink....

Some people have more time than money . Or just not a lot of money to play around with . Or like the satisfaction of being able to say "yeah , I did that myself" .

Absolutely, no better feeling of satisfaction than getting a compliment about your own creation....

and that is exactly why I would like to do it myself and have the cowl, and basically the whole bike, my own personal creation. Because truthfully in the end it is my bike and as long as I am happy with it and I love what I have done with it is all that matters.

Also, thank you to all that have posted their comments and replies.
