Hi, great work on VFR800. Could you tell me please what fasteners on rear saddle cowl did you use?

they are the Sargent quick release pins. not exactly a great deal price wise, but they look and work just fine.

Thanks. My Sargent pins are 6 or 8 mm diameter, so I think You ream holes in underframe for it, did not You?

Yes, you have to drill out the the holes. it isn't much, mostly just the existing threads, but you aren't going to reverse it without a tap&die and custom bolts of some kind. I have no intention of going back to factory, I only use the front portion of the Sargent seat so that the cowl creates a nice little storage space for rain layers / spare visor / etc.
