VIFFER93 Posted February 7, 2010 Posted February 7, 2010 OK, so a few years ago I found this cowel and I thought I was going to do something with it. That project never happened but I am not sure what it will fit. I know it is not a 3rd generation cowel. Anyone have any ideas? I would like to sell it, it is in good condition and needs a home.

Guest Posted February 7, 2010 Posted February 7, 2010 Looks a lot like a 85-86 VF1000R seat cowl. More pics from different angles would be better. Quote
steve27bha Posted February 7, 2010 Posted February 7, 2010 (edited) ... Anyone have any ideas? I would like to sell it, it is in good condition and needs a home.If it is a Honda cowl it could have a part number cast into the underside, and the middle section of that is the model code.It doesn't look like either a 94-97 750 or a 98-01 800 to me - too angular.

I agree that if it was a Honda part it could have a part number on it. My luck is never that good. The only numbers are what someone incorrectly wrote, "VTR750" Here are more pics Thanks for the input. Quote
VIFFER93 Posted February 8, 2010 Author Posted February 8, 2010 It's an 86-89 VFR700/750 cowl. That is the closest so far. The one I have does not have a place for a bump pad, the side fastner hole or the tab in the middle on the back edge. Could this be an after market cover and not OEM? Quote

The bump pad attaches with double sided tape to the forward-facing vertical portion, and not all of them had screw holes(see the Honda ad). All the aftermarket parts were fiberglass that I'm aware of. If your part is plastic, it's OEM. Quote

That is what happens when parts sit in the dark corners of my shop for 5 years. Ebay here we come. Quote
