My D Rapide came with a C cowl, which I still have on the bike. It has some welding repairs on the left lower tab and a crack near the repair. I bought a new one from Coventry Spares, which probably came from the club. There was no way it would have fit. It was indeed much thicker material than the original but on top of that the upper mount was at least 1/2 inch from where it needed to be. I would have had to carve out lots of aluminum at the least to make it work. I gave up and decided to live with the old one.
