    OK, So I need a seat cowl for my RR6

    I'm in three minds as to what colour...

    Red is my preference, white is second, the very dark blue doesn't look that different to having the seat on tbh...
    When done there will be a subtle decal of sorts to soften the look up...

    I have sourced the paint from rs bike paint, for £40 you get base, colour & Laquer + £20 for the ebay cowl ...

    4 options

    1. dark blue
    2. red
    3. white
    4. stupid boy, it's ok as it is !

    RS Motorbike Paint Colours - Motorcycle paint, bike paint, Kawasaki Honda Yamaha

    'Candy Tahitian Blue' aparently ! Definately see the blue flecs close up when the suns on it but otherwise it is fairly 'black' ....


    I'm leaning towards white atm, which is a bummer cos I just ordered a red one ..... borrocks !! Maybe I can do a red/white combo and keep in context with the bike theme/design....

    Well, just to keep you guys updated...

    I got the chinese red seat cowl ..... Urrrghhhhh !!! Apart from a slight indetation, patchy paintwork & really rough edges... It looks absolute kak !!

    Red seat cowl on an HRC is just so wrong it hurts, I suspect the same would apply to white too !!

    I'm gonna sand it down and get it painted the proper dark bluey / black /metallic colour .... arse !

    I would have thought the same colour as the tail piece, but I've got my original red one from when i first bought my bike. All wrapped up in bubble wrap, but could be tempted to sell. It has some stickers on (pictured), although i have some spare HRC stickers too.
