Supporting Member maximNikenGT Posted June 26, 2023 Supporting Member Share Posted June 26, 2023 Opening a thread on 2023 Niken parts compatibility with older Nikens since the US officially only had 2019-2021 Nikens and I'm afraid how difficult it will be to procure replacement parts for US based Nikens for maintenance purposes. I saw a thread in the Facebook forums where they at least confirmed that the European only 2023 Niken GT mud guards (fender extenders part number BFD-215E0-00-00 - Black) do fit the older Nikens (cost of £55/$75 USD). https://www.yamaha-motor.eu/gb/en/products/motorcycles/sport-touring/accessories/explore.niken-gt-2023.niken-gt-mud-flaps.bfd-215e0-00-00/?mibextid=Zxz2cZ#/ 1 2019 Niken GT "Motorcycles - the brand is not important, the fact that you ride is."

Supporting Member maximNikenGT Posted June 26, 2023 Author Supporting Member Share Posted June 26, 2023 Would also be interested in the sliding bracket to mount the new GT screens since the 2023 GT's now have manually adjustable wind screens... Would love to see if this is compatible with my Givi windscreen. Anyone have the part number for the adjustable windscreen hardware for the 2023 Niken GT? https://www.yamaha-motor.eu/gb/en/products/motorcycles/sport-touring/niken-gt-2023/accessories/niken-gt-high-screen/bfd-f83j0-00-00/?path=/?page%3D4&mibextid=Zxz2cZ#/ 2019 Niken GT "Motorcycles - the brand is not important, the fact that you ride is."

NikenLee Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 They are used to stiffen the rubber flap between the rivet points. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporting Member maximNikenGT Posted July 7, 2023 Author Supporting Member Share Posted July 7, 2023 Pretty small detail to feel the need to add reinforcement - does it really vibrate or not have a good right fitting without it? 2019 Niken GT "Motorcycles - the brand is not important, the fact that you ride is."

NikenLee Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 I haven't fitted them yet, hopefully soon though. They are just soft rubber flaps and not like (I was hoping) the rigid fenda extenda that is profiled to match the underside of the front mudguard. Expensive for what they are, but the metal strip has a bit of bling I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporting Member Heli ATP Posted July 7, 2023 Supporting Member Share Posted July 7, 2023 Removed the fenders (10 minute job), and fitted Mudwing Medflaps to my 2019 GT. No hardware just peel and stick, which I doubt would last long. I used some short rust free bolts with lock nuts to secure and sealed the gap with black Silicone RTV adhesive sealant. Used thread locker on stock hardware and sprayed the bolt heads black. Two last pics are looking back from front. Total cost $25. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like they'll really Nerf the rooster tails that would normally get kicked up. Excellent tip! Please let us know how they perform. 2019 Niken GT "Motorcycles - the brand is not important, the fact that you ride is." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
