LED Turn Signals on Yamaha R1 + Seat Cover Change and AliExpress Mirrors

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

My wrecked Yamaha R1 has a salvage title, which means its resale value is down even if the bike looks good and performs as it should
So I’m going to do an inspection that will give me a rebuilt title, that’s not really a clean title but at least something that resales at a higher value and that insurance companies favor as well
Today is the home stretch before the inspection, I’m excited to see this project being done after all the headaches with welding and bad surprises…
So I change my screen, I put on mirrors (the models you see all over eBay, Amazon and Aliexpress) and I got myself some LED blinkers front and rear that I need to wire
And because the flashing relay on the bike was the OEM Denso, I bought one that’s adapted to LED turn signals and it did the trick!
I also changed the old seat cover all scratched up by a brand new one from Luimoto, first time I do any kind of upholstery job and it went pretty good
Now I feel like this 4C8 R1 is 100% and ready to go on the road
That project was definitely a refresher after not DIYing for 10 years and I also learned a lot (like TIG welding and the architecture of an R1)
Next video of this project will be the first ride to go to the inspection!
Stay tuned!

Hi I'm Tristan!
I live in New York and when I'm not working on my fitness clothing line (yoked.net) I DIY with intensity 😅
For now, I restore wrecked motorcycles. So I disassemble, weld, machine and fix those bikes so they can go back on the road!

    Great tips on the cheap chinese bolts and the vinyl on the windscreen. I prefer clear as well. Another excellent video! Love your presentation style. Keep them coming!

    Good work on the vinyl. Haven't tried it yet but I know you need to be extremely patient when wrapping curved items. I like the looks of the first mirrors, the 2nd mirrors are no better, I had them on my FZ6R. Visibility was horrible. I drilled that wire down thru the mirror mounts on my bike and hid it tho.

    You should check your flywheel/magnet too and if there is older design flywheel/magnet - change it to newer, before catastrophic damage to your engine :)

    i know i'm way late with this comment but i just came across your channel. All you had to do was mark where the cut off line needed to be and then paint the plastic on the inside thus leaving a perfect gloss finish on the outside. and as far as the mirror that is the wrong mirror either you ordered the wrong one or they sent you the wrong one

I do a lot of modding and fabrication there w2as a couple other thing i was gonna bring up but I figured it was so long ago.
