Anyone know if it's possible to graft a race fairing and tail unit from a 5pw (first of the injected R1's) onto a 3tj? Having sold my 5pw to fund a new Tuono, i'm left with race bodywork and with a 3tj about to join the Tuono in the garage i'm wondering if a mating is possible?

Cheers,

Nick.

its been done with r6 fairings, you'll probably need the seat as well or fill the space as the tj seat is smaller, and you'll need to do something to the sub frame as well i think, with a few brackets etc it could fit but i dont think it'll look right but thats just my opinion!

Why not sell the bodywork and get something for the TJ ???

its easly done, basically you have to cut all the tabs and molded bits off the bottom of the subframe which will still be too long, shorten it down (i went to where the top and bottom rails meet.). i fitted mine using the mount for the seatlock to hold the upper portion of the seat in place and the subframe fitted inside the seat now but it left the seat at a funny angle, to cure that i unbolted the bottom subframe mounts and positioned it by lifting the back and putting blocks between the seat and the rear wheel until it looked about right and made tabs to go between the origenal mounts and welded them onto the sumframe so i could bolt the bottom back on, they were about 3/4 of an inch and it made quite a difference. anything i didnt explain properly just pm me and i'll try to make it a bit clearer. or if thats no good then i could make you a light weight race one.

Do you have any pictures you could post?

If it's going to be a tricky job or the looks aren't to good then thats the route i'll take

the 400 race at the manx was won this year by a 3tj with R1 bodywork, will be plenty of pics on net i would have thought.

Had a look for some pics of the bike but according to the web, a kwak won the 400 race and the only yam I could find had standard bodywork. Any idea of the rider and/or bike number?

Carollyn Sells, won the 400 race over 4 laps without stopping. The fisrst women to win a solo IOM race, on a Yam and no one knows about it? shame!!!!
