Maier solo seat cover

[jeremy]

I finally painted and installed my Maier solo seat cover/cap. I bought the paint from Colorite. Pretty good stuff. I am not too impressed with the fitment of the Maier piece, but it's good enough for now. I can always tweek it some more later.

Anyways, here's a pic:

Looks really good. I saw them listed some where for $34.

i like it

you many want to go with a closer shade of the off white though (i see a tiny bit of difference -depends how much you care)

[haunter]

dont worry the stock fitment isnt much better!


looks good, but does look a wee bit brighter, but it could be the lighting

Ya the paint isn't spot on, which bugs me. I bought the stuff from Colorite. After priming and prep, I did three coats of the base, two top coats and two clear (if I remeber correctly). I was pretty high on paint fumes .

I painted the cap at my shop and didn't have the bike here to compare it to. It looks like it could have used another top coat. It was hard to tell, when I was painting it, it looked quite a bit darker/yellower. For now it will do, I might put some numbered decals on it to help blend it in a bit.

just hit the bike with a polish then wax, maybe it will brighten up to match

i been lookin at those parts for quit some time now and its the only place i would get a solo seat cover

thx for the pics and ur info

it beats getting one off ebay cuz they go so high in bids, when u can get a brand new one for 50$

also my last name is maier butt i have no relation to that company witch is sad, cuz if i did i would give u guys hell of a deal on plastics....

, when the bike is the in the garage, take off the seat cover and leave it in the sun and rain. in NO time those colors will match right up! Looks good, I had one before I got my airtech tail, Thats my favorite fzr paint scheme!

[jeremy]

haha good idea and this is my fav fzr paint scheme too.

Looks real good man.

Stupid question. But how is it attached. I see a screw near the front of it, is it attached to some kind of bracket?

Lets hit the road soon to. I found some good ones.

[jeremy]

Shawn, it attaches to the two seat screws on either side and there is a little plastic tab that fits under the rear.

Just an idea, but when I mounted mine I bought those rubber vibration isolator things that mount your side fairings (you know, the big rubber washers with the steel sleeve in the center?) and they're a perfect fit for the seat bolts. I installed them so that when I scoot back on the seat and sit against the seat cowl, I don't have to worry about the cowl cracking.
