Eric   Just spoke with cycle riders and they hava a BLACK seat cowl in
stock. I'm planning on going to get it wednesday and was wondering about
installing it. Do you just remove the grab rail, reinstall bolts, and then
install cowl with 2 screws (supplied?) to side of seat?  What holds the back
of the cowl on? Can I remove rail, ride over, install cowl
 in parking lot? Is it that simple?                               Mark
