I don't really know how else to describe it, but I was at the Oxford services today and there was a bike parked up with what looked like a normal seat cowl, but with a keyhole in it.

I spotted the chap kitting up to leave, and it looked like the cowl could be "extended" to turn it into a tail pack.

I want one!

Any ideas on what the hell it is? There was a Givi sticker on it, but I can't seem to find anything to match it (possibly because my googling skills suck..)

Thanks in advance!

Laura

I haven't seen them for some time, but no what you mean - can remember it being sold may be six to eight years ago. Afraid I'm not sure on more details than that, apart from not having seen them in shops for some time.

it may have been either a corbin smuggler or maybe an axio tailbag. both look a bit like seat cowls.

It looks more like the orbin smuggler than the axio, but did the expandy thing the axio does. It wasn't a whole seat conversion, only on the actual pillion seat, and when locked down looked like a normal seat cowl (with a keyhole). It is probably something old and no longer available. But it looked really handy to have!

They did them a few years back when the TL1000R and the Hayabusa first came out, and the SRAD had been out for a while. They were supposed to emulate the tailpieces from those bikes as I recall. They just looked ugly though.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.
