Just got myself a 5000 mile 1 owner TRX - Fantastic!
Looking for a cowl to cover the pillion seat, but cannot find anyone still making these.
If anyone can point me towards somebody still making these i would be very grateful

Thanks

Not sure where you're based ?

Try a car upholstery place - the one near me came up with a cheaper quote than the specialist bike seat places.





I think it's time to resurrect the "why did you choose that as a username" thread :lol:

If you go onto that site,click the box on the left of the page`Kundenfotos`then click on Yamaha at the top of the page and scroll down for a very nicely turned out white TRX.
Under Produkt/Preise it would appear that the seat replacement cowls are 119.00 Euros.
There`s some quite nice front mudguards there too. :wink:

FYI, when the Yam ones come up on e-bay they are all £60 plus, so that German one isn't necessarily a bad deal.

If you can't get an English version there are a few guys here who'll be able to translate for you :)

Yes,I never thought of that. #-o
I might be interested in a carbon version or plain gloss black,I`m wondering if the prices quoted include P&P to the UK too?

If you're using Google, just right click the mouse, scroll down to page info, and then translate this page into English. Easy peasy.

Ahaaaaaaaaa,well I`m no computer expert,far from it!
That`s useful to know,cheers Bob/Wombat. :wink:
Maybe I`ll re-visit the site and try that later,I`ve got all night to do it,in between working.
Update:

Nope,that doesn`t seem to work for me. :?
