Lower leather covers?

[spyderhead]

Does anyone know of anybody making/selling high quality leather "bras" for the lower plastic pieces on either side of the radiator? Forget what they're called - the bug, scratch, and chip catchers?

spyder,

 

Yamaha's official term for them is lower cowlings.

I've never seen covers for them, although have found that cleaning them and then spraying/wiping them down with Plexus really helps with the bug issue.

They certainly are prone to scratches.

 

I'd be curious to hear if you find anything.

They're pretty flexible and at least in my experience crack pretty easily if overtightened... that was a costly/frustrating lesson.

 

I'm wondering if they're strong enough to hold a leather cover?

 

Hope it works out for you.

I've seen the covers several times, but not aware who has or makes them.

Thanks for the link. Will have to check it out; says the cowling bras are "under development" but that was some time back. Will post when I find out if they are available yet.

How about checking with member "Prozak" he owns http://www.tsleathers.com and will tackle almost any request.
