You can do iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitttt.

You wont believe it but on the brizilian ebay site they use to sell the x7 2 stroke already painted up with the anniversary scheme.This was like 3yrs ago i was hoping they would made there way to the U.S. painted up like that.
I'll see if i could find them.

[X7rocks]

jag pulled this off with the normal x18 fairings, and i do beileve i have seen that paint job on a x7 somewhere :dunno:There was a member on pbp that claimed he did it to there x7(painted himself).But when i saw the ones on the brizilian ebay i started to doubt his claims.Only beacause they where EXACTLY alike.HUMMMMM.....thinking_smilie

[X7rocks]

[swheels]

[X7rocks]

the bikes look pretty nice
how come we didnt get any in the states? they would have sold like hot cakes over here

[swheels]

Yeah i know.I was thinking of having one of friends send one over for me.cool_smilie

[X7rocks]

what would you have to pay for it? mainly shipping?

[swheels]

what would you have to pay for it? mainly shipping?Yeah. I was gonna buy the bike tell him to ship my the fairings and let him keep the rest.Then i came to my senses.lol

[The Nutty Professor]

At that price I might buy a st of fairings and put them away for a rainy day dunno

[125ccCrazy]

that would be an easy paint job to duplicate, just have to buy the Yamaha decals or make some waterslide decals and apply them before the final clear...

Spray the bike white, mask the designs, spray the yellow, mask it and then the black and clear coat..

[X-18_Banshee]

Fairings ordered :)

Probably cause of copyright laws. I like them too.

[Ghost Rider]

Fairings ordered :)

Where did you order it from?

[X-18_Banshee]

Got the whole front off ebay for 49.95 thumbsup2 ..the same link that 125ccCrazy posted

[Ghost Rider]

Oh are you going to buy the rest of the kit?

BTW your plan looks like the bike is gonna be sick!!! What other mods do you plan on doing to make it like the R1

[X-18_Banshee]

Yup, gotta find the rest of it..well Im gonna mod the stock exhaust for now..allready have the 26mm carb in stock at work, new tires, maxxis I think, not sure yet. Might lengthen the swingarm, New performance cdi, lights

[blank057]

Are these fairings going to fit right on?

[X-18_Banshee]

Ok, got the front put on..after alot of tweeking looks pretty good, Thanks to swheels, He sent me pics of his. Thanks Bro thumbsup2

[X-18_Banshee]

Also I gutted the exhaust can and put a baffle and packing in, Put a 26mm Mikuni carb jetted it and she starts in 1 kick and runs like a champ!!

[x18]

looking good what modifications did you have to do to make them fit

[swheels]

Looks very badass.thumbsup2thumbsup2.If you decide to use the lights.The x7 lights plug right into the x18's harness.No modding.

Had to drill new holes for the 18's body mounts, Lower the guages to fit under the windscreen, make the hole bigger for the kick stand to clear the body. Alot of little tweaking back and fourth to get it right. And thanks again swheels thumbsup2

[Ghost Rider]

Haha i just started to fit the x7 kit on my bike....I have noticed that im going to do the same exact mods so far; windshield clearance, kickstand clearance. But what about the right side by the kick starter. My lower fairing hits the engine by alot like 3" off. Could you please get some more setailed pics to help a brotha out!

Bike looks great man, keep it up!
