Single-Seater!

Mohd Ali wrote in to say that he really wanted to get a Kawasaki ER-6f, but that he normally prefer race replica bikes- and in that, he specified that he meant single-seater bikes. Well, to each is his own; but I reckon that he's best be single or his spouse may just throw a rolling pin at him for obvious reasons!

Well, if you are willing to part with around RM500 onwards, you can get a fabricator to fabricate and graft a single-seater tail fairing on the ER-6f's rear; and voila, you would have a single-seater that looks like it has always been a part of your bike from the word, "Go!"


Or you could re-upholster your seat so that the rear bit looks like the body colour, and this should set you back a mere RM50 or so.





Now that you have explored the costs at both ends of the spectrum, let's examine a more common method that would costs around the region of RM200 - RM300. The answer is to install a single-seat cowl- it is a fast DIY and you can easily remove it if you have a pillion rider. There are many creative cowls in the market for the ER-6f and these can be painted to body colour for an additional RM30 normally.
