1998 Blue Colour Yamaha R1

[Atilgan]

Hi guys,
I'm looking at buying the rear seat and its cover for my R1. :spudwave: i'm from Germany, just arrived here 2 months ago. I just bought a R1 which only have a single seat. I found a wrecker that have the second hand rear seat and the cover, but it costs $400. It's a bit dear. :eek5: Please let me know if you are selling this part or otherwise you might be able to tell me where to get one that doesn't cost as much as $400. Cheers. :banana:

Hi, and welcome to NZ.
Firstly, let me congratulate you on a fine choice of motorcycle there :msn-wink:

Have a look on Trade Me (http://www.trademe.co.nz) aswell as on Trade and Exchange (http://www.trade-exchange.co.nz/TEProject/general/index.jsp). With the last one, it might be best if you stop by a news agents, and pick up a hard copy of the Trade and Exchange.

Either that, or do it like they do here, walk around town till you see a bike with what you want, and just nick it :killingme

Enjoy NZ, and your bike.
Regards,
David.

Hi StoneChucker,:first:

Thank you for your advice. :2thumbsup I have tried many different sources, ringing dealers, checking on trade me, reading the mags and newspaper, talking to people online and etc. It's hard to find it in NZ. I will i will try Australia. So far i have found a few wreckers and dealer in Aussie have them, now it's just a matter of seeing the photos or might need to go over to there to have a look. :blah:

Hey, NZ is the best country in the entire world. :spudwave: I'm 44 and i have been riding my motorbike when i was 20 years of age. In Germany the road is quite different from NZ. It's easy to ride overthere. It's a bit more mountain and hills in Auckland. when i first riding in Auckland, i found it a bit difficult. :confused2 I think i have get the hang of it now.

Finally, i hope i can get the rear seater soon, wish to ride my R1 with my girlfriend here. I'm sure she will enjoy the ride. :headbang:

Cheers

Atilgan :yeah:
