YBR 125 Screen

[kennadium47]

Hi im interested in getting a flyscreen for my YBR125 however im not too keen on the official yamaha ones, i want somethin simple but effective to enhance the appearance of my bike, i came across this one on ebay, it's made by Airblade. I'd just like anyones opinions of it or if you've got it fitted to your bike any pics. Cheers.[/b]

I think the Yamaha one is the best as my aftermarket one off ebay just fell apart within a month. This one has stayed on and looks kool.

I did my cbt on a YBR with NO screen and i got batered about. I then bought mine and was offered the screen half price so i took it and it made riding at 60mph for 30mins feel like a dodle. And it makes the YBR looks so much sexier i think .

What screen is yours, is it a universal or a YBR125 only version.

How much does it cost?

[kennadium47]

cheers for the info, im impressed by the improvement that the official yamaha screen made as i get battered by the wind soo bad at 60ish, however £60 is a bit steep for a screen as i am a poor old student. im gna trawl the web and so what else i can find, keep the info comin......

A firm called powerbronze make all sorts of screens. They just fit to the headlamp brackets which are a fairly standard distance apart.

The type of screen you want is called a "fly screen", they do several different ones.

Had one on my last bike. Road tested up to 120mph.

hey guys jus reviving this topic again, i ended up buying the airblade (screen as shown above) for my ybr and when lining it up on the brackets the holes were too far apart.

I thought i may as well drill some new ones, however i ended up cracking the screen and one bit snapped right off........shiiiit! there goes £27.70 down the drain.

All was not lost though, with me being a design technology student i thought why not just make my own screen because i kept the mounting bracket.

So i went into school and got hold of some 3mm light smoke acrylic sheet, i drew out the shape on a separate piece of paper beforehand and cut it out then went round it again on the acrylic, cut the shape out, smoothed the edges, drilled the holes,put it in the oven and softened it so i could bend it into shape.

Finally i sprayed the inner side of it black and hey presto!

Here are the pics lemme kno what ya think, cheers

Pretty good, Although I'm not so sure with the bottom sticking forward. Can you not soften up and bend the tails back a bit? It would look great then

Simpler than that, the 'tails' don't look as if they are fulfilling any usefull structural or aerodynamic function.

Why not just chop them off neatly leaving a radius at the bottom instead of two points? (see picture) Be less likely to snap like that too.

By the way, looks a bloody good job you've done there. You wouldn't know it wasn't a bought one.

well blow me, it looks really good.

You could bend it Round abit so it curves round as its abit straight lol. And bend the tabs in and itll look briliiant!

You could make a buisness out of that!!!!

cheers guys glad you like it, i will definitely will sort out the pointy bits at the bottom, il soften them and bend them down so they blend in more aesthetically, il post some pics once iv done it. jus remember if you find the same thing happens to you (i.e breaking ur flyscreen) keep the brackets and make your own : )

Do you guys honestly suffer wind problems on your YBR's?

I ride one for work and it struggles to an indicated 72, im happy to stand up with both hands off the bars at that speed(private road officer), maybe my neck muscles are fantastic... I only really find windblast troublesome over 115 ish...

[kennadium47]

[stinkwheel]

[veeeffarr]

you could bend the bottom bits up and outwards like an aeroplane in order to perform easier wheelies?

Looks like a good job anyway

The thread is a little bit older, I know. But: Maybe somebody else finds this one with google.

I got the same screen like treesey200. But I cut off a little bit of the wings. So it fits better to the (small) 7" headlight.

Original Puig screen (click on the picture to enlage it):

Cut off a little bit of the wings:

It fits much better:
