Hi bikey people,

I bought a 2026 Kawsaki Ninja 500 SE straight from the dealership and I’m trying to switch out my passenger seat for the plastic cowl. I noticed the cowl doesn't have the metal bracket/locking post on the back to actually latch it down onto the bike.

For anyone else who bought one new, did your dealer give you a box with the mounting hardware, or did you have to order the bracket separately? Trying to figure out if my dealer forgot to give me my parts.

Thanks so much.
*pictures for reference, i hope it makes sense.

ALSO, im a girl and slowly learning so pls be kind :))))
