I went to my dealers 2 or 3 weeks ago to check out the 34L front mudguard availability for Just Dan (he got one the next day) the parts bloke rang Yamaha & they told him if you want one now you better be quick.... So I ordered one.....
I picked it up today when I went to price up my engine stuff......he told me I got the last one, but, good news chaps, Yamaha are having some more made.... apparently there's a lot of demand for 'em.... must be a lot of rebuilds going on.....
So I've got my first bit of my 34L.... or even better 55W which will be Mezo's loaner for the 30th anniversary...
The future is not what it used to be....

Mezo.
Got it from my dealer, cost me 80 quid with the vat (which I get back cos I'm self employed)....
Just got it while I had the chance
Want some sidepanels now... and a bike (55W
)
Won't be starting anything else till these 3 are finished though

That's the going rate this side too, although none left. None in Japan either...
Nor the side panels...
I'm looking for secondhand ones now - my only chance...

£80 for a front mudguard. With postage mine cost close to £130. Sad news, looks like DHL have decided to send my mud guard by slow boat again. Most likely won't see it end of July. Bastardsssssss.. This is getting to be real hit an miss getting parts from Germany of late.
Bacon and eggs...A day's work for a chicken, a lifetime commitment for a pig.
I picked it up today when I went to price up my engine stuff......he told me I got the last one, but, good news chaps, Yamaha are having some more made.... apparently there's a lot of demand for 'em.... must be a lot of rebuilds going on.....
