Pete is correct my viper has a BP cowl, I picked up a 260 cowl for the vking though. I had the though of cutting up a clam shell to fit around my 280 for the sleeper oldschool look but I dought it will ever come about.

That's good. I just wanted to let Russ know they just don't bolt on like the factory one.
Here's some pictures of my old V-King with an alien cowl. Back then the aliens were pretty new and I liked the look. Today, I kinda lean towards the HP ones. Just personal preference I suppose.
