Default another possible option for a seat cowl

hey guys i have looked and looked and looked for seat cowls for the zzr600. Still haven't turned anything up that looks remotely decent like the others for the zx6r and 10r. I was thinking of doing a custom seat cowl that will be interchangeable with the stock passenger seat. So when you guys feel like just cruisin with your girlfriend/boyfriend on the back you can slap the seat on and when you want a more aggressive race look you can just change em out. I was posting this thread to see how much of an interest you guys had in it and maybe if enough people wanted to see how it looked finished, id post pics and maybe reproduce it for people on the forums . Any input from you guys would be great...

Wonder if you can put a race cowl on, cut the rear light in with some sort of quick clip so you can switch to 2-up when possible. hmm?

ok... here is an idea of what i was thinking


this is a 6r cowl


i wont go past the black line and ill be rounding out the "aggressive" angles and corners because the the zzr doesn't have that really edgy look like the new zx6rs do. all in all, just making a zx6r cowl a little more tame.

did i mention carbon fiber?

I just lineXed my extra seat for a seat cowl and it doesn't look bad at all. I'll have to get some pix up if I can remember. I would still be interested in seeing how it turns out and what the price would be.
