I'm thinking of buying this cowl, stripping it and repainting it for my 2003 dark 620. Does anyone know off the top of their head if this will work on my bike? I thought it might be a fun project now that there's snow on the ground...

stock seat cowl is interchangable across all monster models, all model years.

Thanks. I suspected but you never know...

Keep in mind that they are made out of plastic. So you might be better off giving it a light sanding and then priming and painting. Not sure how well stripping it will work or what it will do to the plastic!

Good call. I didn't know they were plastic. I thought maybe fiberglass or something. I read on another thread that priming it then spray painting it and finally clear coating it works good for the matte black dark finishes. I'll have to track that thread down again...

Is there someplace stateside that sells these cowls aftermarket that aren't aluminium or CF? I'd like to buy something that I can paint. I'm not sure if I'll go the Ebay route on this one for sure...

If you don't win that one, I have a red one with some scratches I would sell ya. It is listed in the classified section of the DML. [smiley=idea.gif]
