Good day gentlemen (loose term). I just bought my 09 and was wonderinf if someone makes a rear cowl cover to replace the passenger seat. I don't see one on Yamaha's web site.:banghead:

Only gane in town for the FZ1 in the US. For the FZ1N model Yamaha does make a factory cowl, but to use it on our bikes it would entail changing out the rear section and that would be expensive. Not sure why they didn't offer one for the US bike. Attached is a picture of what I'm talking about.

I was looking at Copperdog's nice but pricey. Just found this on ebay
Carbon Fiber Rear Seat Cover Yamaha FZ1 N 06 07 08 09:eBay Motors (item 220524208004 end time Jan-07-10 19:05:18 PST)
not sure how it would feel on the back side though:embarrased:

Looks like it is designed to attach a backrest/pad. You would think they would list it on the same page, but did not see it.

Yea, that's what I figured also when I saw it a while back. Since the seller doesn't list it may have to be a custom made part and not too many buyers want to be bothered. Can't imagine he's selling too many of them...

For my 1st-gen, I bought a TCP product that looks good - goes on easy, but I don't know if they make one for the 2nd gen FZ's. TCP Aerodynamics

Looking good Haileyan!
Just an FYI: The one I saw on ebay, I have heard it's not a very good product. Someone said that it wasn't really even CF. Just Fiber Glass cloth dyed to look like carbon.

Yamaha does make one to fit USA bikes.....but..... it only comes with the retro package. Can any one tell me how to get one? My dealer is trying. Yamaha FZ1 Accessories, Yamaha FZ1 FZ1 Retro Body Kit

I have never seen a part number for it. Just comes as part of the retro kit. Fits over the stock seat and is held in place with nylon straps similar to how your helmet attaches. Problem is you'll have to get it repainted as it only comes in white.
Don't know why Yamaha never made it available here as an accessory as they have it for the Japanese market in different colors.

I got a hold of the guy but he said the mold broke for this cowl. He said they may make more later this year.

Those copperdawg's are god aweful expensive! I paid $125 CDN Funds for my 50th anniversary R6 seat cowl...that was right at the dealer! I can't believe these things are that expensive!!!

Hand-made with fiberglass by an FZ1 owner, painted to match your exact color and made to add additional storage to your bike. The underside is mostly carbon fiber. Personally, I think it is worth it over a mass-produced piece of factory plastic.
