Goldy595 Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Can somebody post a link to a picture of an r6 with these removed?? Thinking about doing it to mine but wanted to see how it looked first.

awh18awh Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 There you go mate. 2006 model but looks identical http://www.bikepics.com/pictures/1021317/ Thats great cheers. Just done mine now they fit ok but when i put it all back together and took it off the pit stand they both popped out of place and are now rattling around inside. Any ideas for another way to fix them down? Glue maybe? or is this a big no no? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks A decent plastic glue should work, make sure surface is spotless, once you've glued them just use gaffer/duck tape over the top for extra hold, although the duck tape might be sufficient alone. bear in mind you might find it hard to get them off in the future should you need to, ie to put footrests back on! Bit suprised the sticky pads didn't do the job in 1st place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit suprised the sticky pads didn't do the job in 1st place. Me too. They seemed pretty secure until i moved the bike around. Gaffa tape might be a good idea tho. Should think about when i sell it someone might want to put them back on. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HalHark Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 local Yamaha Dealer........Infinity at Clapham. Its just the Genuine Yam part, £120. Yeh thought so! I'm getting the tail of the blue R6, so I'm trying to see if i can modify the white yam cowel with a red trim or even find somewhere that sells them... or last resort use a non-backrest one...

R6Jools Posted January 19, 2009 Author Share Posted January 19, 2009 WOW they look good!! Alot better than mine! Did you say you have put foam above them? All I've done is use the supplied sticky pads, then cut a 2" wide slice from an old car wash sponge ( ) to fill the space above and stop them vibrating loose. If you've used velcro it'll be too thick, is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hehehe. Did that to my 08 reg. Pads not available as a separate part, i called Yamaha UK The only way to fit a red pad to the white cover is to buy a black/red and a white/black cover and swap the pads, then put the black cover with black pad on eBay!!!! Does anyone do a non backrest seat cover for the 08 model??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you guys manage to order these blanking plates? I checked their website and they are not listed (not that I could see) and I have had no response from their e-mail? Just fitted a genuine Yam rear seat cowl to my graphite. Looks the nuts. Difficult to know when to stop with the customs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agswilson Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 i know this is months late, but i got the big warning sticker off with 'boiling water' this melted the glue. did you do the flush indicators yourself? any pics... i'm looking to do the same on my 09, but: - can't find any really nice blinkers - having trouble getting the fairing off (any tips?) Picked up my beautiful white 08 R6 last friday, having ridden a heavily modded Ducati M900 for the last few years, i'm in love!!! Like riding a 250 2-stroke again, tho i'm having difficulty keeping to the 8300rpm running in rule. Especially having tasted the 8750ish boost from the YCCi. Its as addictive as crack (So i'm told!!) I've already done the R&G tail tidy and flush indicator jobs, and plenty more mods to come. But just have a couple of questions i hope someone can help with! a- Where can i get a pair of pillion peg blank plates from? b- Any tips on removing the cra99y big warning sticker on the tank? (So i can fit a tank pad) The clear film came off, leaving the white layer with the writing, which only comes off in microscopic bits!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
