What do you guys think?
-
Standard, I've been looking at the newer fenders, and while at first, I thought I'd like to update the look of my bike with the new KX fender it doesn't really match the old rear style, niether does the YZ, I like the 2000"s model YZ fender, Oh yeah I have a black Cyrca vented front # plate I'd be happy to donate, even though the plastics will be white,
-
imho in the case of Yamaha, it will look great. Kawasaki, not so much.
-
I have seen some early 00 Yz's with the new F fender, looks good. Especially in white. :)
-
i think the new 2011 fender would take away from the retro look
-

I agree.
Keep with the original.
-
imo itll make the bike look more aggressive, id go with the 450f fender
-
Newer front fender.....all the way. The stock front fender/number plate is what makes the bike look dated.
-
We're not going for a retro look guys... We're going TSM colors
-
Keep in mind you'll have to use the new # plate as well
-
after further consideration, and research, I have changed my mind and my vote is now for the 2011 front plastics ;D
-
I also agree with that fellow from your FB page, charles, That an updated 03 gastank and shrouds would be the route to take since you're going with a white one anyway
-
X2
-
Yeah, Ive been looking into that. I just dont know if devin can do the graphics for a 01, 03, 11 YZ. :)
I'd also wonder how much modification is required.
-
I'm pretty sure that it's standard fitment, I'll take my 01 # plate down to the yamaha dealer today and line it up with the new one' if they have it in stock' and get back with you on whether it will fit or not
-
I just sold an 03 YZ tank a few weeks ago, would be nice to have one now for a test fit.
-
aw crap
-
Jeeze Louis!!! :o
I was just looking on Ebay to see if there was a cheap one on there for test fitting, I hope you got at least $100 for that one.
-
Yeah, I usually sell my tanks for $50-75.
I think I may still have the shrouds from the 03
-
Whats the difference from 01-03?
-
Whats the difference from 01-03?
The tank and shrouds changed in 02 along with the air box/side number plate.
Its a good question if all that stuff will fit on a 2001 frame. I dont see why not though....Id do some checking around.
-
i will never put back the 03 fender on my kx,
and the yz looks much more agresive the 11 than the 01
if you look at tim ferry 125 kx he has 2011 fender and front plate,ryan v the same
eric at black heart did my graphics like this:
2010 fron plate
2003-2007 side numbers

Looks like it will work fine, you might just need to shim up the mounting bracket under the tab on the # plate.
Funny thing, I went down to the shop and they didn't have the 450 in stock, when I told the salesman about the project he laughed, and I proceeded to tell him I was a 2 stroke guy all the way, but he still tried talking me into trading my KX in on a new CRf450x, when I told him I'd be glad to ride for free it till it broke, he laughed, until I said "what's the big deal, it'll only be a month old when I bring it back, you should still be able to sell it for 2500 after you replace the motor", then he got a real serious look on his face. I followed that with, "when do you guys expect to get a YZ250 in stock?" "Oh, we have two in the crates in back, I thought you were a 2 stroke guy?" " I am. I was refering to the 2 stroke YZ250." "they don't make those anymore." I should have expected that from a guy wearing a Can Am shirt. ::)
-
Haha, nice. :)
I'm sure it would be pretty easy to get the front plate on.
-
I was just getting into the story! Why'd it stop?
-
My wife and kids were dragging me out the door to go eat, They didn't have a single 2 stroke in the whole place.
So the sales guy tries to tell me they weren't making 2 strokes anymore. And I told him that they're(Yamaha) still making the 85,125, 250, but Honda was no longer making them. He stated he was told by his boss that there were no more two strokes. So I told him he should order up the yamahas and see how long they sit on the floor, if they even make it to the floor.
-
There are no two stroke bikes on the floor here either... They don't last long ;D
-
I was at our local Yamaha dealer the other day checking out the new R1's and asked the sales guy if he had a 250 2 stroke. He said they only ordered 2 and when they sold they didnt get any more. Why they didnt care to order anymore I dont know...
Did we get a front fender/numberplate yet??? :D
-
their not allowed to order more. ;D
-
Any idea when the motor's comin back from Eric Gorr?
-
I think Charles already got it, that's why we haven't seen him on here since thursday. ;D
-
Haha, just got home from Budds Creek. Great weekend. :)
Pics coming soon. :)
-
Guess I've been away too many days.I was going to say an 05 fender.Same shape but sleeker.Oh well.
-
I'm gonna try to get an '11 front fender for my bike :)
-
what do you guys think will be the next poll?
-
We will have several coming soon. Handlebars, levers some more color choices for misc small parts :)
-
there should be another poll and article tonight....sorry we've been slacking on the build updates the past few days.....race weekends kinda take over around our house.
-
It's understandable ;)
