Q: Are all OEM mounting points retained? A: Absolutely. The cowl uses the stock subframe mounting points for a clean, rattle-free bolt-on installation.

How to Fit

1. Remove the pillion seat — Open the seat lock and lift out the pillion seat/seat unit as per your R15 service manual.
2. Remove the OEM seat cowl panel (if present) — Unscrew and unclip the existing rear seat cowl from the subframe mounting points.
3. Dry-fit the fibre cowl — Position the new seat cowl over the subframe and check alignment with all mounting holes before fastening.
4. Transfer grommets and hardware — Fit rubber grommets into the cowl's mounting holes to prevent cracking and reduce vibration transfer.
5. Secure to subframe — Fasten using OEM bolts, tightening finger-tight first, then torque evenly across all points.
6. Check panel gaps — Align with the rear fairing and tail section; adjust positioning before final tightening.
7. Finishing touches — Inspect for any rubbing against adjacent panels and add foam tape padding if needed.

⚠️ Handle fibre panels with care — avoid dropping or knocking against hard surfaces during installation to prevent chipping.
