Has anybody tried a Chinese seat cowl? A lad from work has one on his R6 and looks spot on once painted, £25 and free delivery, though since a lot of people on here are slating the bikes quality this can't really be that bad option!! Got a mate who can paint it so only have to pay for materials, probs looking at 35ish all in, got to be with a shot!

Yes, I bought one and got it painted Thunder Grey locally and it's as good/bad as the official BMW one IMO. Cost me just £40, so was well chuffed, however, (depending on what colour u need) I see that u can buy them off eBay painted now for just £25!
Yes I'm looking for a white seat cowl and hav seen these painted ones for £25 has anyone got one ? Just wondered what the quality and paint colour match was like as it said cannot guarantee colour match thanks.

If you want a bang on match then get a blank and have it painted. Also the clear coat is shit, also there is a good chance that the clear will yellow after a couple of years. You get what you pay for! I have bought numerous painted fairing for my projects over the years. most of them yellowed (like nicotine finger) within 2/3 years.

Think that was directed at me. But you can hav it wouldn't put that cheap tat on my RR lol
If you read half the threads on here they will have you belive your beloved Beamer is made of cheap tat!! haha
