yamaha yzf 750/1000 has come home

[rf9rider]

Looking good.

What you got planned for the air intake tubes?
I had a complete OWO1 bodykit i was going to fit to the Ace i had, but too much cutting involved, was going to mount some metal tube to the tank and fit the intake tubes on there.

[yzfpaul]

hi ya buddy
you were right about the owo1 being tricky to fit
i used the bellypan of the yzf and grafted the yzf and owo1 side pannels together
only because the owo1 bellypan is slim and short and would be a bugger
to line up and look proper in place

as for the hoover pipes mine will go something like this



its coming together nicely now

[yzfpaul]

ive got some thin pipe i'm gonna fibreglass onto the top of the tank pointing straight upwards
i'll post pics as always

[rf9rider]

I see you`ve dropped the bars.
That was the problem i was having, the bars were catching on the fairing, didn`t want to do that as i was having problems with my back, wrists etc, old age is drawing nearer!

[itsnotagenesis]

That looks pretty mean.
Be better once its not pink mind.

[nasty]

yes but for about 1800 quid you will have someting thick and oneoff

[parappadog]

Thick?? should that be trick??

[nasty]

k.o i,ll stand in the corner

trick trick

[yzfpaul]

well i've finally come to my first hurdle
the fairing stay i made to hold the top fairing/mirrors
catches the tops of the forks so you cant turn the bars



so i've come up with a plan B
i've bought a fzr 1000 89/90 stay and will brace it from the back rather
than the front tank mount (this pic is just for ilustration)

i'll post some proper pics when the part comes next week

you ought to have asked for a stay on here. i have a few and could have had one for postage

[yzfpaul]

sorry stiggy but everyone's been sending me stuff
just for the price of the postage
this is testement to how helpfull and generous this
forum is
so a big thanks to all that have helped along the way
i just cant keep asking for help i would feel like i'm abusing
everyones kindness
just look at it as fleabay had one for pennies
so i jumped on it rather than asking on here

[nasty]

if you cut the bottom off rear lense light] and change it for clear plastic theirs no need for number plate light
or if you can get your hands on 400 one which is smaller to give more race look

[yzfpaul]

am having trouble choosing a colour scheme
i have about 3- 4 different ones bouncing about in my head
what do you guys rekon?

[YAMAEXUP]

The boss out of the office Paully?

[yzfpaul]
