CHEAP Chinese Fairings for Wrecked Yamaha R1 Rebuild - Is It Worth It? Part 12
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 гру 2020
- Now that my bike is mechanically sound (or so I think…) it’s time to make her pretty and put some cheap new custom fairings on it 😀
I never used Chinese fairings before and I want to see how the fitment turns out to be. Especially that gas tank cover that seems ubiquitous for the 07-08 Yamaha R1 4C8 on eBay and Aliexpress
So I put it together and realize some parts are good and some are really not… Having no paint reference doesn’t help when comes the time to color match the gas tank with those fairings…
But you know I spray paint my way through perfection and that’s exactly what I did with some Duplicolor cans and some masking tape to make stripes on the tank
Tell me what you think of the result!
The good thing: the taillight (also coming from a Chinese seller) worked right away and was a real plug and play product
I also show how to change stripped rivnuts (rivet nut) on my rear subframe
I hope you enjoy watching and get some value out of my video 👍

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!

Nice one man, I went through this build videos the other day, good job
Thanks man, I appreciate it!
Good skills, looking sharp👍
Upcoming video will show the bike with all the fairings and my review of the Chinese kit 🔧
That shit looks C L E A N N!! Idk how you are pulling off this stuff on your first try but dent filling and paint job look amazing in my unprofessional opinion 😂 cant wait to see the finished bike!
Ha ha! Thanks for the compliment 😊
I’ll be finished with it very soon 🔧
Happy New Year dude!
Thanks Luke, you too man 🥳
Nice job on the tank :)
Thanks Aaron, I think so too 😅
my uncle used this kinda fairing too on his 2007 R1 at some spot it melted because the heat from the engine,make sure you put the heat protection tape on your fairings to prevent from the melting
Definitely, without heat protection any fairing would melt, I’ll do that on the next video 👍
Looking very nice Tristan! When you get around to buying a HVLP gun get a good one! I painted both my bikes last winter (10 pieces) and the Eastwood Concours gun ($70 USD) caused me major orange peel and uneven coats...... I now have to repaint half of the parts. Eastwood customer service was a joke! I will be getting a Iwata gun in the future. Best Regards, Doug
Thanks for the heads up Doug, I just bought the dual pro powder coating gun from Eastwood and hope it’ll be good, when I get to buying a paint gun I’ll remember what you said👍
Thanks again!
@@TristanDurandBuilds I have been using the Eastwood dual voltage gun for @ 7 years now and you shd get very good results with it. I have to run @ 15-20 PSI at the gun as the recommended PSI was not enough... yours may be ok though. They all leak powder around the top of the cap on the blue cylinder but it still works fine just a bit messy. Use a powerful LED light to check for powder coverage before the parts go into the oven, it really helps. Cheers, Doug
I didn’t know the led light trick and will definitely apply that 👍
Thanks!
where did you buy?
Looking good Tristan keep up the good work but agree chinese fairings do suck
Regarde bien Tristan continue son bon travail mais suis d'accord avec les carénages chinois
Thanks Chris, I appreciate your positivity 👍
Nice work on the tank. Why you chose silver and white ?
Will you also be putting graphics on the wheels ?
Thanks for the compliment Alan, I like the look of those colors when it’s complete, you’ll see very soon 👍
I won’t do anything on those wheels, Black with the red stripes will fit perfectly the livery of the bike
I will have a little faith in you lol.
Can’t wait to see the finish.
Give me a week or so and you’ll see it
Hi I have the same R1 project and ran into a little problem. I can’t install the throttle cables on the handle bar it just won’t close.
That’s odd, if the throttle bodies open and close freely on their own, look at where you ran your cables, I bet it’s where you made the mistake ✌️
I’ll double check on that thanks bro
Yeah, just make sure your throttle bodies don’t stay open, it’s dangerous on any bike so on a liter bike... 😱
Hi me again, throttle bodies don’t stay open however it’s a little hard to pull the throttle and it doesn’t snap back fast but it still works fine idk why? Maybe cuz cables are bent a little
Name one good thing that came out of china!
Kung Fu.
The phone or computer you are using to type that comment
🤐
@@TristanDurandBuilds , I only have a Landline phone, same number since 1981. I'm here on my Dell Desktop, which sadly, is probably Chinese made. FWIW, I wish there was no Internet, but that's another story.
Is the Chinese fairing worth it bro i mean the quality?
So far (I haven’t put the front fairings yet) I would say that I would buy the fairings unpainted and paint them myself, it would give me the opportunity to clean up the edges before painting and make sure it fits better...
But I’ll give my final verdict on the next video when everything is put together 👍
Bon travail
A quand en versions la version française?
Merci !
Je fini le montage de la version française aujourd’hui, je publie demain...
(Je pensais pas que les français m’épiaient ici 😅)
Moi je te suis et j admire le résultat et j attend la fin de ton projet merci pour tous
Merci pour l’encouragement Pierre 👍
Salut à toi bon travail et c est très clair dans t’es vidéo j adore . quand tu auras fini se projet tu penses avoir un autre projet ? Cordialement
I think the title is clickbait, more or less. If you have a wrecked bike it'll most likely have a Rebuilt or Salvage title and never be worth much. So of course I'd put cheap Chinese crap on it, too!
You’re are free to see it as you want, I really feel like I don’t do clickbait, my videos are always exactly what the title says it is.
@@TristanDurandBuilds , ok, but I see there are lots of videos out there with millions of views, based getting something from China for dirt cheap. Everything from an $89 guitar, to, you name it, to get kids to watch. But I could have the wrong idea of what "Clickbait" is. Peace.
