seat cowl ?
Good Morning,
I found this pic on the web. According to the owner, it's a "dual color matching seat ". (for me it looks really like a cowl ..)
Does anyone know where I can find one like this ?
Thanks,
Xeilaxtu.

I asked the vendor couple days ago when this pictures poped up on the Hyper french board.
No answer yet...
Maybe our Hyper rider here who's living in Singapore can tell us more (cause I think this HM with the seat cowl is from there)

Exactly...... this forum is getting more and more of this stuff it seems. Nobody cares if you like it ot not! if they did they would have ask you if you liked it or not. Just to clarify!!!! the question was "do you know where to get one"
how is "why" a reasonable responce to that question?
back to the REAL topic of the seat cowl... I think the owner is telling you the truth. I dont think that is a true plastic cowl I think it is shiny red material made to look like a seat cowl. Basically a fancy seat cover.

You just don't think it's reasonable because you can't answer it. 
At 3 in the morning that was the best I could come up with..... 
To me, it looks "homemade" with poor fit and finish. It obviously limits your seating options not only for where you sit on the seat but for which seat you can have on the bike to begin with. Luggage would be hard on it if that was your thing and if you wanted to take it off, you would need an wrench.
All this, and I would bet that the cost would be substantially over $100.
So I guess I could have said all of that, but instead, I just went with "Why?"
Dave

Seat looks fugly, but the real question is, why would anyone put those peg slider things under their stock footpegs? Do you really want to reduce your ground clearance even more on a Hyper? Are people really concerned about scratching up the BOTTOM of their footpegs? Looks to me like that owner's got a case of the bling-blings.
