What Do You All Think of This (Seat Cowl)

It looks really cheap to me? I've got the KTM CF one, but I broke one of the mounting tabs throwing a wheelie. It's been a pain in the ass trying to find a shop that will repair it; the break was not clean so I couldn't do it myself.

Not much. It looks like a cheap bit of plastic tat. Having said that, this is coming from someone who doesn't like seat cowls period.

I've got one. I'm happy with it.
It comes in shiny black that matches the black SD pretty well. I found the black paint to scratch very easy.
As I do not own a black SD I had it painted in my bike's color.

I have one...yea, it's cheap...but it looks pretty good. Somehow it finishes the lines of the bike for me.

I have one and got it painted matte black to match my orange and black bike. Ordered some orange KTM stickers, looks good.

Hmm that plain white one is quite nice actually.

Both brackets have been broken on my KTM carbon one. Got both repaired by a guy who fibreglasses rowing boats and they lasted for over a year but I managed to break another side at Le Mans last year. A fibreglass repair can last quite a while if you're easy on it.
