Capt Scarlet Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 Hi, Recently I purchased a front cowling for my Yamaha YBR125, went to fit it today, as was incredibly surprised to find that the mounting brackets are about an inch out of mounting. When the dealer ordered them in, they did say '06, but immediately dismissed that these would be any different (the headlight hasn't changed on the YBR over the years). I was wondering if anyone else has had one of these screens, what it was like to fit, and what year your ybr is. It does look like I can bodge it, but I don't want to run the risk of bending the brackets to find that it still doesn't fit, and then I can't return them. Has anyone else had one of these Yamaha screens? Cheers, Tom

Looking at the Yamaha website (http://www.yamaha-motor.co.uk/accessories/acc_overview.jsp#MC+Acc/125CC/YBR125), it looks as if one type of screen is specific to the '06 model, but the 'Sports Screen' is supplied as either '05-'06 or '07-'09, so I assume there is a difference. So for the earlier models there are 3 different coloured screens, but the later models only have the black sports screen available.
