First one i found that shows the actual fairings on the bike. thank you for not only do a unbox video.

Great video overall. I was looking for a timelapse for a looong time as I'm a complete noob when it comes to the whole mechanical bike departament. Learned a lot!

excellent video and really nice guy. really helped me out with my R1 rebuild!!!!

Nice video, im rebuilding my R1 4c8 at the moment and using Chinese fairings ..I found if you use a heat gun on the those bumps on upper front side fairings at the join you can straighten them out ..before fitting back heat inside and bend inwards then fit ... so far im happy with Chinese fairings and the fitment.

Turned out very, very, nice Tristan! I have been using titanium hardware all over my KZ1000's and love it! Been using Probolt, RaceTi, and some Chinese sellers as well. Happy New Year, Doug

On an 08 R1 I rebuilt for a friend, the side fairings came off at speed. Basically the molded pieces that are inside the main side fairings that you screw into for the upper side fairings broke off from the fairing. And these were "injection molded". We ended up drilling small holes on the side fairing and using small allen cap head screws to hold the upper side fairings to the mid fairings.

Great video man,i have seen all your videos,from start till the end and i loved it a lot,in this way i also considered myself that i have seen the yamaha r1 very closely,from many angles,i loved to see how you inspect its built quality.I am from India and i love bikes,i have a ninja 300,i bought it second hand from a owner who totally murdered the bike,no fairings nothing,even the foot rest ,gear selector,bent front alloy wheel,bent suspension pipes,broken radiator,and almost 45% of the body parts were destroyed,the enjine was as usual like the new,i bought did a very hard work to give it back the life,your video made me remember my work,i love superbikes and i just see videos,sad part in my life is...i am a poor person and i cant afford to buy one.

Hey tristan is it possible to put a 2009 plastic on that bike?

@TristanDurandBuilds

Жыл бұрын

The 2009 R1 is the crossplane engine, the bike is completely different. Those plastics are not interchangeable without modifications

Can anyone confirm buying from the same seller? I need fairings myself but is always sketchy dealing with aftermarket parts

Hi Tristan. I had the same issue with the lower section of the screen. Some masking tape and black paint from the rear( doesn't matter if gloss or matt, the plastic from the screen makes it look glossy) Problem solved. Hope this helps.

I’m kind of afraid I would have to sand the plastic before painting and I don’t want to do that I would paint on top because I want a matte finish (I don’t have anything glossy black on the bike) Did you sand before painting or just paint directly on the new screen ?
