Yamaha R6

[goz1960]

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!)
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?

email these guys yamaha_racing@mail.bg they did me a new rear decal for maca's gsxr for around £12 plus postage (i think its a dutch company) but the product was as good as suzuki

Can't you just go to one of the sign writing places and get them to run off a copy??

Had the same with the blade,£36 each :o ended up ordering from an online company, will dig out the docs if you need the address, cheers wes.

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.

[Wes]

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

[goz1960]

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.

[Wes]

Even at £24 they're still a bargain :)

[goz1960]

With the aid of the tracking number I was given I can see they are now in the UK hope they arrive soon.

[goz1960]

DO NOT EVEN ATTEMPT TO PUT THEM ON YOURSELF! Get a sign writer to do it.

[goz1960]

Pile of rubbish, they are almost correct but not good enough to put on now im PISSED.

[Swanny]

Go careful hitting the bottle like that just because some stickers don't work :D

[goz1960]

Tell you what im tempted.

[Swanny]

If anyone wants to get stickers right the best way to do it is to lightly spray a weak soapy water mix on the panel then they stickers will slide exactly where you want them. Just make sure you wait a few hours before going for a ride 8-)

[goz1960]

Did all of that spent a long time trying but they are just not the right shape, have contacted the seller awaiting a reply.
