250, 400, 500, 600, 750, 1000 ... ? Given the banner title at the top of the page, I'm assuming this is for a Yamaha FZR - but I've been wrong before. It happens. Sometimes. :whistle

Lol. Yes, I assumed since it was in the FZR 600 section of the forum, people would know.

Thanks, Don. BTW, the bike is running like a champ after the VRR upgrade and new battery. The original VRR cooked the old battery. Now I need the fairing stays to correctly mount the mirrors and tank. Both of my stays are twisted.

It'll basically be impossible to find used stays that are 100% straight.

Just sayin'

Why? Have most of them been dropped like mine were?

There is that, yes; very few ~20 year-old bikes have NEVER been down. You also have to consider that the simple act of riding around, with the wind pressure pulses and road pounding, will flex and eventually bend the bracketry.

Mine ain't right. There's gotta be somehting better than this:

I banged on the mirror stay and it's better - may work. The front stay would probably require some serious clockwise rotation with a long prybar.

Yeah, that's ugly. As you say, though, so long as it's basically intact you can gently persuade it back into something resembling the correct shape.

I am in agreement, but I will check when I get home if I still have mine.
