Hi
everybody ive just bought an 1988 yb7 out of Japan & I am thinking I might put it on the track , formula 3 .
I really don't wont to damage that lovely bodywork , I have been through the forum , read all the posts , searched on evilbay etc & generally just got nowhere .
So does anybody know of replacement fairings for a yb7 or know of somebody who might have some moulds ?
Any help will be gratefully appreciated
Cheers

Hi Steve,
Unfortunately YB fairings are very hard to find. The fairing looks very similar to the YB4/YB6 but it's smaller. The YB7 also has an air inlet on the top of the tank section.
I look on ebay/subito/yahoo japan/etc haven't seen a fairing come up. I've just bought a YB4 front fairing from Glen and maybe get the seat unit aswell. I wanted the front fairing to convert the YB6 I have from a swiss rectangular headlight setup to the normal twin round.
I do have Nige's old fairing set off his crashed YB7.
I was going to say have a look at Bimota Classic parts but I see 'fast fingered Steve' beat me to it. AND ! they've got a seat unit! Don't worry my hoarding is under control and I don't need it _________________ Bimotas, Yamaha FZR 2TK, Honda NC30, MV Agusta F3 800, Aprilia RS250 |

Hi guys ,
Thanks for your reply's , I have sent an email to Bimota classic parts & got a quick reply from them , they have the seat unit as you said .
The shipping to Australia is what kills it for me , nearly the same price as the item !!
I guess that I will have to consider other options .
