2nd Gen Replacements for Lower Wind Vents

[BuddyRich]

Several people have asked so I have started making replacement lowers for the lower wind vents on our 2nd gens. The cost is 35 which includes shipping. They are available in smoke,clear, and black . I have to make these as you order them so expect them a couple of weeks after you order . You can paypal me or send a check. buddyrich at ebmc.com is the paypal. Didn't use the @ symbol so the spammers don't pick up on the email address.

Buddy, Can you tell me where I can get the brackets?

[BuddyRich]

The only place I know is to buy the whole set. Never tried to buy just the mounts. The lowers crack after a while so hence the need for replacements

Several people have asked so I have started making replacement lowers for the lower wind vents on our 2nd gens. The cost is 35 which includes shipping. They are available in smoke,clear,red,blue,black,green, and I think I can get yellow also. The colors are transparent. Black is a solid color.

Hey BuddyRich,

 

What color red is it? I've got the 2006 Black Cherry. Thanks.

Buddy,

Do you make anything that would divert the airflow that comes over the lower cowling and under the fairing? I get a lot of buffeting thru there. I can put my feet up on the cowling and it really calms the air down. I think a bracket could be attached to the air filter housing and a "wing" of some kind that would adjust to divert the air.

To keep the wind off your knees ? Yea, I need to find the material. I'll PM you when I have a set done. Same price. They attach with velcro to the underside of the lowers and push the air up and out. I was using them when it was cold and kept all the air off my knees.

Is this the same size as the OEM lowers?

[BuddyRich]

Same size as the lower wind vents from Yamaha, yes. I copied mine which should be the same as everybody else's. These are the ones. I am making the replacement lexan part.

The originals will begin to crack at the bolt holes. My old ones were nearly all the way across when I decided it was time to replace them and I wasn't going to spend another 150 for the whole setup.

 

Same size and shape.. But don't use a micrometer to measure them..

[N3FOL]

Hmmmm. Looks like this is only for the plastic part not including the bracket.

 

At this time, I am deciding whether to get Blue or Black. (leaning towards the Black for now).

[Midrsv]

Yep, mine are cracked too. I'll take a set of smoked color.

 

You've got money in your Paypal acct.

 

Thanks,

Dennis

Hey Buddy you are awesome. This is something we definitely need. I was a bit disappointed when mine started cracking so soon after install. Glad you decided to do this for us. I'm going to PP your money for a set of the Green ones.

Thanks.

Questions before I order a set.

Do they have the same curvatures as the originals or are they just flat?

The black.. are they made out of a different material since they are solid not transparent?

 

BTW thanks for making replacements, there are a lot of people that will need them.
