I've heard people have problems getting the Targa cowls. If they company has the item on backorder with Targa, then I doubt you will find anybody that can get it quicker.

I'm running into the same problem with a piece for my helmet. One of the side covers broke on my Arai helmet, and since its a limited edition helmet, getting the paint matched replacement is a pain. Its been on back order since the end of Jan, with no delivery date in the near future. I tried going to different retailers and getting the part, but since it isn't a stocked item, they would have to order it from the factory also.

Hey bro, I also was waiting for a cowl from 1tail. I cancelled my order last week. Same story back ordered for paint issues. I called Targa myself to verify.1Tail did **** me off because their web site says 2 day shipping from order so I called them and they told me 2-3 weeks. Four weeks later I called back and they said 2-3 weeks Three weeks later I called back and he told me 2-3 weeks I said I'll just take a refund. Money back in the bank 2 days later. Spent on a new leather jacket.

If you are waiting for a blue one, be prepared to keep on waiting. I got my cowl direct from Targa in May of 06. In August I noticed some paint issues and sent it back. They are replacing it, but I have been waiting since August for the replacement, with a new promise date every other week. They are having trouble with the paint. They are not painted in house. They use an outside source and have been waiting for a long time for a good formula.

Problem is, the bikes are painted in Japan where they use a die based paint. Targa is in California, with strict regulations on paint and they can not get a good match with current paint companies in the US. Not sure where or when the problem started though. My original cowl was a perfect match.

Not really 1tails fault, though they should definately update their web site.
