r6realtor Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 This is the yamaha brand seat cowl, I like it! I was unsure of it when I ordered it but in my opinion gives the bike a bit more of a complete look, I also have all black front and rear foot pegs coming, will post pics when i get those installed. Excuse the mess in the house its daddy day with the kids. 2015 fz-07 akrapovic exhaust 2015 ktm 500 xc-w dirt/supermoto tire and wheels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member nerd Posted July 29, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted July 29, 2015 Now the question from me is that does it shake like the stock seat did? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviede Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Does it add any more storage space in the back? and do the factory tools still clip into the bottom side of it? 2015 Matte Metallic Grey FZ-07 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r6realtor Posted July 29, 2015 Author Share Posted July 29, 2015 Now the question from me is that does it shake like the stock seat did? it did until I put two tiny pieces of sticky foam under the front rubber stoppers, now it doesn't move. I did the same with stock seat which made it also not move. 2015 fz-07 akrapovic exhaust 2015 ktm 500 xc-w dirt/supermoto tire and wheels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r6realtor Posted July 29, 2015 Author Share Posted July 29, 2015 Does it add any more storage space in the back? and do the factory tools still clip into the bottom side of it?its literally identical to the stock seat bottom, so everything transfers over and no more storage than stock really. This is more for looks than anything which I am very pleased the way it completes the look of the bike. 2015 fz-07 akrapovic exhaust 2015 ktm 500 xc-w dirt/supermoto tire and wheels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magsz18 Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Is the center part of that seat soft or is it all hard plastic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member yamahappy74 Posted July 29, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted July 29, 2015 What'd you use to paint the letters white?

r6realtor Posted July 29, 2015 Author Share Posted July 29, 2015 Is the center part of that seat soft or is it all hard plastic?its like a thick hard rubber, that almost looks like the seat cover material, so it matches nicely 2015 fz-07 akrapovic exhaust 2015 ktm 500 xc-w dirt/supermoto tire and wheels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member yamahappy74 Posted January 12, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted January 12, 2016 So I filled in my lettering as you did, but it lasted all of two days before it was all brown and ugly. Tried washing it and it didn't help. Lesson learned, there. Never doing that again. Think I'll put white rim tape on instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r6realtor Posted January 14, 2016 Author Share Posted January 14, 2016 @r6realtor , What do you have going on with the solo seat tail thingy out back? That looks fantastic! More pics please! - Paulie thank you, its just a rear seat cowl that matches the paint and then I add some pin striping to it, I also did some matte black accents on the tank and some more pin striping. i used to hate the look of the fz09 over the fz07 but after doing a few things to improve the look, I think im liking the 09 more now, plus I certainly can't about the power! got rid of that hideous rear tail light and made my own custom turn signals 2015 fz-07 akrapovic exhaust 2015 ktm 500 xc-w dirt/supermoto tire and wheels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member pgeldz Posted January 14, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted January 14, 2016 Yeah, what I didn't like about the FZ-09 is the one piece seat, but it looks like that seat cowl fixes that Who makes it? - Paulie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
