August 31, 200915 yr Author where did you get the kit from??? and what was it like to fit??? thanks and that is one sexy bike,,, Hi it wasnt that much of a kit, i got the fairing and tail unit from a swedish firm that imported it from some eastern european country, fiberglass. The rest was done by me, screen and headlights etc. Full build story can be found here: http://www.motorcyclebuilders.net/forum/showthread.php?t=44
September 1, 200915 yr thanks for the reply,, if you dont mind me asking how much was the kit,?? if i am being to nosey just tell me to sod off, just i am after doing this to my bike,, thanks
September 2, 200915 yr 1 word came to mind 'wow' Nice bike, truely stunning job you've made of it aswell.
September 4, 200915 yr Author thanks for the reply,, if you dont mind me asking how much was the kit,?? if i am being to nosey just tell me to sod off, just i am after doing this to my bike,, thanks No prob, but since almost the only thing I bought for the bike is the fairing and seat unit I can't tell you what everything needed will cost you. I payed around 260£ for the fiberglass stuff, I traded some R1 plastic with my garage mate to get the projectorlights he had, the paint cost me 30£.. The company I bought the faring from is not in business anymore and I don't know who their supplier was, I don't know of anyone selling the R7 fairing in fiberglass, QB has it in carbon. Headlights, guess you can order it from yamaha, I made mine myself (prototype maker by trade), same for the screen but that is available as aftermarket. feel free to ask again, much is described in the build tread i posted before. ringading & Ryan09: Thanks for the nice comments, I only spent two months on it and it came out fairly good. I love the bike, it handles well and its fast enough for backroads here in sweden. Maybe I will sell it now, or upgrade the engine with 1000cc parts to get a 824cc screamer, problem is i don't know if its do-able. Maybe this is the place to find out..
November 1, 200915 yr The rear section, was there any modifications to the frame. If I just wanted to change the rear what would it involve? Thanks
November 8, 200915 yr Author The rear section, was there any modifications to the frame. If I just wanted to change the rear what would it involve? Thanks Hi Yes I did some mods to the rearframe, look at this image, the red part was removed. It looked like this before painting I only did this to get the R7 rear to fit without having to cut away anything.
November 15, 200915 yr Hi and thanks for the reply. So basically everything is intact and that piece is the only bit you have to do? Assuming the rear number plate plastic needs cut (original undertray) Also any ideas where I could get hold of the rear R7 tail piece. John.

Hi again yes thats all I cut of, but I added some brackets to get the right hight of the tail. and yes I used the original battery-box/ undertray, read the story here of how I built the bike. here are some places to buy R7 stuff http://www.airtech-streamlining.com/yamaz/YZF750R71999.htm#price http://www.superbikebodywork.co.uk/Yamaha.htm#R7
January 12, 201015 yr I've got to say this is one of the most tastefully modified sport bikes I have seen in a long time. Out of the question for my old FZ unfortunately but if ever there was a reason for buying a YZF then this must be it ! I prefer it "with" the Yamaha decals but other than that, would not change a thing about it.. . . except for maybe the owner.
March 31, 201014 yr Author Dont suppose youd sell it? Ricky hm, I might sell it, not right now cos in pieces getting new valve seals etc. I would want around 3500gbp for it. or a crappy R1 04
