I'm trying to locate part number 39156-0299 (PAD,SIDE COWLING,LH). This is the pad that is glued to the inside of the front middle cowling. All the dealers (so far) that I talk to tell me that this part is obsolete and not superseded. I've been in contact with Vic Salisbury and he tells me that Kawasaki is supposed to maintain replacement parts for 10 years. Considering that the cowling received a major overhaul on the 2010 model I'm wondering if this is the exception to that rule.
Regardless, I'd welcome any help in locating remaining NOS of this part and/or an explanation on why it's been obsoleted.
