I have a 2005 Yamaha R6 in blue on a 57 plate, thought I had put the side stand out (but like a twat was not out right and bike went down). Went in to blade Yamaha to get the price of replacing the mid fairing decal, me and the spares salesman nearly feel of the chair at the price £86.00. Thats a no go anyone with similar experience what did you do?.

I phoned around and found the part I needed at half the price (genuine parts too!)Originally Posted by goz1960
I would also phone Yamaha direct to see their reasoning behind ridiculous prices on parts.
My philosophy is nothing ventured - nothing gained.
I also look at what I am buying (and do a 'sanity' price check on the item)
i.e. is that part really worth that amount of money?

Found a chap on ebay from Lithuania doing a full set for the bike 11 decals in total for £38.00 inc postage, should I be brave and give it a go?. or £24.00 for the ones not crossed out and that is all I need.

Does he have a gallery so you can see the quality of them fitted? for £15 its got to be worth a go

Sorry got the conversion from euros to pounds for the part set wrong its £24.00 pounds for the ones I need. He sent some pictures of them on the bike and they look good.

Even at £24 they're still a bargain
