I love the look of the seat cowl on the xbs and am considering it on my 9s. Just curious if anyone has had problems with theirs or in particular the ebay ones. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NEW-Carbon-Fiber-Co wl-Seat-for-Buell-XB-S-Lightning_W0QQcmdZViewItemQ Q_trksidZp3286Q2ec0Q2em14QQhashZitem3ca5a57d22QQit emZ260477123874QQptZMotorcyclesQ5fPartsQ5fAccessor ies

I saw that his is the Ebay cowl. I'm thinking this wouldn't fit on the select seat though. Anyone have any measurements on this to see?

I bought a cowl for my 9S just like the ebay link but not that particular seller. The finish was not great but didn't matter as I planned to paint it a metallic gray to match the 9's tailpiece and side rails. Another issue with mine... how to keep it on-the-seat? There were no mounting holes so I drilled some on the underside of the cowl and it now mounts with 1/8" shockcord, similar to the way you mount a Buell tailbag. I'll post some pics this weekend. I have the "standard" and "low" S seats and the cowl will fit both of them. I don't think it'll fit the Select Seat either.

Im planning on running it on the streetfighter seat. I didnt know it didnt have holes in it. I guess I will just have to mock something. Please post pics!

Well, even though it may be time for a new camera (color balance way-off) I said I'd take some pix so here you go:

Looks pretty nice! I will do that eventually, my bike funds are all gone for now. Thanks for the pics though!
