this would be my bike as it is now. havent gotten the time yet to start working on it. i did manage to buy one set of r-1 front fairings to go with the r-6 rear. its an yzf 750 sp -93 with fzr 1000 engine -95. crashed in 2000, hence the nicks in fairings

HI Mate, nice. I heard that the R7 fairings are pretty straightforward to fit, just need to make new brackets to hold the cone and instruments on. Do you know what sort of work is involved in fitting the R1 fairings? And what work is required to fit the R6 back?

I would love the R1 back on my bike! 8)

Let us know how you get on with the conversion :wink:

i knew that the r-7 fairings would have been quite easy to fit but i had a few reasons for going to r-1. the first thing is the actual fairing... i got the r-1 race fairing for 175 eur (new fairing, never painted -99modell) from e-bay.de. the r-7 fairing would have costed double at least from sebimoto. second problem is the headlight assy. you can find used r-1 headlights for 150eur but the only place that sells r-7 lights is yamaha corporation orginals and sharkskinz.... 390eur =///. third is the windshield, again r-1 available in all shapes and colours for little if used. r-7 windshields cant be found in colour, or i havnt at least found them.

r-6 rear was easy. sp model yzf has an removable rear assy.. dont know if other yzfs also have removable. i just took the original away and welded an new to fit in old mounts and the slim r-6 design. the r-1 rear is quite alike so the fitting should go as mine... i like the r-6 better but thats an personal oppinion. i also got an rear seat by this, although i prefer my ride as singleplace only.... no women aloud... njähä

cool bike mate 8)

Cool Bike indeed!.......I like the blend of "other" Yamaha parts! :wink: 8)

Seems weird that there are companies that do the r7 conversion for the r1 and r6, for reasonable amount of money, but no similar alternatives for the YZF.

I think the only differences between the R and the SP, are that the SP came with a closer cut gearbox, klein flatside carbs and single seat :roll:

I would love to get an R7 fairing kit for my YZF750R. The plan is to one day buy an R7 race fairing and 'make' it fit. Possibly with endurance style headlights (as mentioned the R7 headlight assembly isn't easy to get hold of) and get it sprayed in virgin mobile colours just so that it matches my tank. Alternatively I could buy a 2nd hand tank and get an original R7 paint scheme just so people can recognise what it is supposed to be.

R7's are such sexy bikes though aren't they. 8)

Of course this is all plans for the future as I would have to stop riding my bike to undertake work of this kind. :roll:

Could you take some pics as you are going? Make a kinda FAQ for all of us wanting to do something similar. :wink: Of course if you can't be arsed /don't want to, then don't bother.

Yeah good idea Stew, i would appreciate it 8)

Welcome to the forum Samps :wink: ......Love that pic in your signature!.....Nothin' like the Bizness End of a RaceBike 8)

sorry guys i havent gotten the time to take any as of yet... been busy as hell at work and just finishing my new bathroom ... my missus said i dont have any access to garage before its done! :oops:

oorait. bathroom cleared out (actually a few tiles still but quite there). I finally got some time to try out the r1 fairings and man did it take time and some heavy grinding to get them into place. It seems that all race fairings are the same :?

a few beers and time alone in the garage with the grinder did the trick and the fairing now sits in place.

ill trye to explain everything that needed to be done before they sat in place. roughly same things will be needed to be done if someone plans to go the "R-7 way"

ill post some new pics when i get an digicam to the garage. hopefully this weekend.

hows the conversion going

Yeah come on keep us updated!
