I recently bought a rear seat cowl for $50 off ebay. However, It wont lock down on the back end (the end closest to the taillight) I think it is just missing a grommet.. I was hoping that someone may have an answer to what I am missing, and where I may get it.

You will have to click on one of the links on the left and walk through to get to the parts. it is just the Kawasaki site. parts diagrams.

then go down to seat... or go to the dealer and they can order it. Tell them the grommet is missing. They might have one in stock. You have to make sure that it is a tight fit. You could lose your tail section.

Try the first link again because I was editing the post

oops. It looks like there is an aftermarket bracket too. Mine came with the cowl installed but I now remember when my husband TR got his there was a bracket so it looks like there is an option kit. check out the drawing...
check out the options parts listed in the schematic drawing showing the cowl.. part 99996/a then see the bracket and dampeners etc.. any dealer will know what you need.

Mine already has the bracket so I think all I need is the grommet. Thanks for the help.... help do a little searching in the future. Thanks again

Try this; Hillman 0.71 mm 31/32OD x 1/2ID grommet. The item number is 08236 7165. You may be able to find it at lowes or home depot. Be sure to glue it in for extra security. It's also makes for a tight fit of the cowl.

I just had the same issue you have - I was missing the rubber grommet so the back end of the cowl was all over the place. I just stopped by my local dealer and they special ordered it for me.

Price: $3.50 (may vary?)
Part Reference Number: 92071

Stopped and picked up a grommet today from the dealer ($0.25) .. fits the cowl pretty tight.. but I haven't test fitted it to the bike yet... if it doesnt fit im out a whole quarter.

You might be able to sell the grommet on ebay if it doesn't fit

Z, you were providing a link while logged into that site... Since we don't have your UID, or auto-log in cookies, it denies us access to that particular URL. Thanks though, just through I'd clarify.
