Rear Seat Cowl For Aprilia RS660 - 2020 to 2024

Rear Seat Cowl for Aprilia RS660 (2020 to 2024)

The Aprilia RS660 is a fully-faired sport bike derived from the RSV4 design language, and the rear seat section is one of its most visually prominent elements. The passenger seat area, when ridden solo, creates a flat, open surface behind the rider that interrupts the tail unit's sculpted line. A rear seat cowl fills this section with a color-matched fairing piece that completes the RS660's full-fairing profile and removes the pillion accommodation from the bike's appearance when solo riding. This transforms the rear visual into the single-seat racing silhouette that defines the RS660's circuit character.

The cowl is injection-molded from ABS plastic and available in six color finishes: Black, Italian Red, Acid Gold, Electric Blue, White, and Carbon Look. Black and Italian Red correspond to the two most widely produced RS660 factory colorways. Acid Gold matches the RS660 Oro special edition. Electric Blue and White suit owners building non-standard color combinations. The Carbon Look variant uses a layered plastic film that replicates the visual texture of woven carbon fiber without the cost of actual carbon construction. All variants include pre-painted surface finish and mount using the OEM passenger seat bolt holes and rear subframe pegs.

At $149.90, this cowl is a standard visual upgrade for RS660 owners who ride solo and want the rear of their bike to reflect its sport pedigree. Removing the flat passenger seat surface visually lowers the tail section and accentuates the upward sweep of the rear fairing, which is more prominent with the cowl installed. Reviews from verified buyers specifically mention the improvement in the Italian Red and Acid Gold variants against their respective factory colorways.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the passenger seat be reinstalled when the cowl is removed?

Yes. The cowl uses the same mounting locations as the OEM passenger seat and removes in approximately five minutes. The factory passenger seat reinstalls in the same way it was originally fitted. Many RS660 owners keep both pieces and swap between solo and two-up configurations depending on planned use. No modification to the subframe or seat base is required for either item.

Does the Carbon Look finish match the OEM carbon fiber used on RS660 accessories?

The Carbon Look variant uses a printed film that replicates the appearance of 2x2 twill weave carbon fiber. It does not have the depth, texture, or light response of actual carbon fiber composite. Against genuine OEM Aprilia carbon accessories, a close inspection will show the difference. As a standalone visual element on the tail section, the Carbon Look reads as carbon fiber from normal viewing distances and at speed.
