Hey, I'm thinking about buying a ybr 125, id like to ask, does anyone know if it is compatible with other fairings? like yzf or something, if nothing else i can make the alterations to it but id just like to know if some already tried it?

No it's not.

Why not just get a YZF if that's what you want?

Because i couldn't afford the insurance on it Sad

But i was also thinking of buying an MT 125 instead if it isn't possible Very Happy

Have you looked at the insurance on a CBR125R?

If you really, really want a sportsbike look, tepid commuter performance, and are counting every penny then you could seek out a Lexmoto XTR 125 / Skyjet SJ125-23/26.

You could, but I wouldn't: every used example I've seen has been a wreck.

It's not really that i want to count every penny, but i just had an accident with my bike ending up totalled, i don't know how much money i'l have to replace it, but if i have enough than i'm jumping at the MT 125 with ABS Very Happy

i was filtering through traffic on my way to school when suddenly a woman shot out from a side road and got me on the left rear of my bike, i broke both of my wrists (one is worse than the other, that's why i can type) and the bike had its frame twisted and cracked plus the wheels are misaligned. There was no oncoming traffic and my lane was pretty much stiff.

If you swap the fairings you'd have to swap the seat, then handlebars, headlights, then change the peg position otherwise it's just going to look a Frankenstein creation.
At which point it's still going to sound like a ybr so your going to want to change the exhaust.
You might have something which looks and sounds like a sports 125, but it's still ybr underneath it all.

To do it right your talking a lot of parts, time and effort for something which is never going to be a sports bike and the resale value is going to be peanuts.
