Help needed

Post by R1mattyn231 »

Hi all, new to the site and looking for some help.
I have a 2016 60th Anniversary R1 and am looking for some replacement decals / graphics for the fairings & nose.
Could anyone give an ideas or email links please, be much appreciated.
Cheers all.

Welcome in
I think you'd be best off finding a helpful Yamaha dealer and get them to order it for you

Hi Matt, welcome to the forum. Is it the OE decals that are on the OE fairings that you are after?

Years ago I got an OE R1 decal from a 5pw nose cone for my 5vy, so I’m sure they do sell them.

If they don’t do the ones you need, I know Wigan Yamaha have in the past had bikes done up in race colour schemes using vinyl stickers, but they have been more of a dull finish, rather than gloss.

As jompy says, might be worth an initial call to your Yamaha dealer, other than that, can you get a set of Chinese fairings in the 60th colour scheme you need?

Failing that, when I binned my 14be 50th anniversary I had Dream Machine touch up my tank, air box and rear seat unit, they weren’t cheap, colour match faultless, and a lot less expensive Bethan buying new parts from Yamaha, unfortunately I did need to but side fairings and nose cone... that were damaged beyond repair.

I’ve seen lots of examples of their work and it is faultless, and my bike was red and white, red is a difficult colour to match and they did it perfectly Image

Good luck and let us know how you get on

Welcome

Thanks for the feedback team, found a supplier in Italy, but can’t contact them(?) so I think I’m gonna go with OE parts of possible.
Thanks again all.

Fowlers have a great OEM online parts shop for Yamaha and others

I was able to buy tank decals for my 4XV when I dropped it on my driveway and dented the tank
