Up for sale is a lower cowl kit. It is a color match for the 2006 and 2007 blue model. The outside looks pretty good with no scratches and the paint looks good. The inside has a section where the paint was removed from cleaning off oil, but you can't see it when mounted to the bike.
If you're interested the first $150 takes it, including shipping.
For some reason I can't upload any photos right now but I can send them via text message or email. Just send a PM requesting photos. Here is the link to the Yamaha website (part # ABA-5VX08-10-00).
Now the reason I'm selling it...
The bike has had a mild oil leak on the left side ever since I bought it used a couple years ago, which I've ignored. Recently the bike sat for several weeks and left a small puddle of oil on the garage floor. I tracked the leak to a loose bolt on the oil pan. It turns out the brackets for the lower cowl mount using the bolts holding on the oil pan. Whoever installed this cowl (previous owner) stripped the threads on the left rear bolt, causing the leak. With the bracket removed the bolt is long enough to grab grab some threads and stop the leak. Since the lower cowl is purely aesthetic and oil is a necessity the cowl must go.
