Right, What are the best quality fan cowls on the market? I'm fed up with getting shite cowls that split after 5 miles and don't fit.

Where should I be looking to purchase a quality cowl? Are Mb's Carbon ones any good?

:wtf: :wtf: :wtf:

Got a original SIL one on my GP and a Serveta one on my cutdown, both were second hand when I got them and they are still in one piece and looking good.

The one I bought new from evilbay is sitting on the shelf in my garage unused, poor fit, poor quality and has got edges like a razor. :x

Get a good second hand one thats my advice :idea: :D

Won't a genuine Sil cowl be too wide?

Possibly, but the PM carbon ones tend to split and crack around the bolt holes as they are removed and refitted a few times, also where would you get an MB one?

Mines not, it came on my 1985 SIL Vijay Super Mk2 and is the same width as an Italian one
