Anything you would change? I guess he changed the bike😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayzonk Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Well...I'm going to change it! I bought the Puig beak at the end of Feb and it shipped today. Where did you get the carbon fibre side panels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Jayzonk, I think the panels you saw on that picture are the original plastic ones that came as standard on the earlier all black Tracer models. They have a carbon fiber look to them, The hand guards on the picture are also the standard fitment for the mark one tracer, they are a good example of aesthetics before function and I don't think they protect from wind blast particularly well. I fitted a cheap e-bay example of the beak (pictured in a previous post) I wanted to balance the top heavy look that the Puig touring screen I added had made. Picture below is the best one I have of the the side panels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must say blue one available in Europe (brighter) is even nicer and specially with painted side panels. I definitely don’t like GT models paint ideas with motorcycle in one colour and side panels completely different. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayzonk Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Yes, it looks good. I was always a fan of the 2019 black, silver, with some purply-blue accents and wheels. I ended up with the 2020 and the coppery-red, black everywhere 🤔 Not sure how they came up with some of their ideas. I see Yamaha dropped those nice carbon fibre look-alike panels...was there a frame change, so they would no longer fit? Or did they just drop them? Then some years they anodize the wheels, other years they are just plain black.... Strange styling clues sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, why? A third color, for a single panel? It's just a dumb idea and they should feel bad. Fortunately, my wife broke one of mine so I was morally obligated to get black panels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayzonk Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Sorry to hear of your unfortunate "accident" 😄 Send us a picture with the black panels. Anyone been discussing the new version? Of course, there are no full reviews yet, correct? Are they even on shore yet? I really don't understand the Japanese styling some days. After all of this time, I am sure they are keenly aware of styling trends. Would it really take that much to put someone in charge of this to spruce things up? You know, just someone who could review the all of the styling before production and let them know of any faux pas they are making. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
