Gmar004 Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 (edited) Hi all, I own a 2017 MT-07 ABS and I am here to learn more about mods, repairs and parts. I recently had a little 'slip and slide' on Stacey (that's the bikes name cause she's a sassy girl) and I am now on the lookout for tips on how to obtain and replace 'cosmetic' parts which have been damaged in this incident. I look forward to hearing from you all and potentially meeting up with other Mt-07 rides on my side of the pond.

Unless I am missing something the bike looks pretty pristine in that pic What parts are you looking to replace? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gmar004 Posted February 12, 2020 Author Share Posted February 12, 2020 I need to get hold of the part on the side of the fuel tank (with the logo on it), which I think is called an Air Scoop. It doesn't show very well in the picture, but it's all scruffed very close to the logo. I also need the end of the handlebar (although I was thinking of just getting handlebar sliders off ebay to replace the usual metal tips). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well they are pretty cheap here in the states for the air scoops. Here are the us part numbers. I would also just pick up some weighted bar end sliders like you said.

I wonder if I can have them shipped over... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you import parts from the states don’t forget you’ll probably get hit for import duty and the VAT tax, with shipping charges tends to spoil those lovely cheap prices.
