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
Steve

Tank and seat unit available at Bimota Classic Parts

http://www.bimotaclassicparts.com/index.php?controller=search&orderby=position&orderway=desc&search_query=501170011&submit_search=

Write to Paolo at Contacts...he reads and writes English also

Similar...and with fairing was BimotaNige 's YB7...that met an untimely end into the side of a mini.....think Laminator has the bits for it now (frame tube headstock snapped)....and evidently bodywork was damaged...

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' Smile 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 Smile

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 .

Cheers
