you seen em for '14 Ninja 1's?not bad

I have the official Kawasaki part and its a POS. Why?
Too expensive.
Its heavier than the seat it replaces. Serious. It is.
Second, the bracket it uses. Mounted under the cowl. Its huge and takes up the slight storage space that was under the seat. The edges are also sharp so you have to be careful not to scratch the bikes bodywork. The strong bracket serves no purpose since you cant sit on it. It looks nice, but I'd recommend anything else.

why are there grab bars? not like anyone can sit on that..
some people just put the cowl for looks and swap back to the seat when necessary. Personalyl I'd get rid of the grabn bars, I feckin hate riding 2 up...why are there grab bars? not like anyone can sit on that..
Did you guys see these? Honestly, how about everything on this site?. I could spend 10 grand on carbon bits from here. Its expensive, but I'll bet its cool.

$10k on CF parts plus the cost of the bike, at that point you might as well start opening yourself up to other higher end bike options....ducati maybe?
Oh, for sure....and I'd never do it. But, the option is there. I think we have an odd perception of the Japanese bikes.
I think this ones had way over 10 grand spent on it. HÖLY » UMBAUTENÂ*»Â*KAWASAKIÂ*»Â*NAKED
Note the zx10 swingarm.
In a way though, why not? A bike as cool as anythign out there, but parts and labor prices that are reasonable.

I just rather spend it on a higher end bike and get more for my money, it's just me, that's all. Some people might rather do this.
has anyone come across any other cowl options that are not ugly or priced out of range ...

I know what your saying, and I was there once. My cure was actually owning the dream bike. I enjoyed it, but MONEY was the key. Money, Money, and more money every 3000 miles. You pretty much had to do dealer service to preserve resale value, plus some of it was very complex. Not well suited to owners manual and basic tools. The 850.00 per year maintenance plan would have bought a lot of carbon. Plus, a lot of maintenance that did not even need to happen on other brands. Once I realized I could own two bikes for its cost, I was done. At some point you realize its a **** motorcycle , too, so why?
I coudl go on...there was also the ONE dealer to choose from, or a truck ride to Boise, Idaho.
I'm very ok with Japanese. Or German...No more Italy.

Italian women are bougie as ever so it's understandable but they are worth it at times!
Instead of a cowl, how about a seat cover that matches the paint? I know this is the wrong bike, but similar idea.

I'm not so much thinking the shape, but the idea makes sense. What about building in a little storage box, too?
