Not mine, no dog in this fight. I just know that someone was looking for a front stay. Here it is for $125 delivered.

Check it out. Less than 1/3rd the price of new, Seller claims not bent or broken with good feedback.

Parkshark shows this part as $302.00 shipped. A bit more than 1/3 the price, but well less than 1/2. The mirror tab look untouched, though.

Truthfully, the second time I dropped my Gen 1 and of course broke a mirror tab, I gave up on Yamaha and had some small gussets welded on each side of each tab. Gave the welder $50.00 for the 30 minutes of work, he was tickled pink, and so was I at the cost savings. What I didn't expect is how much better the mirrors worked with a more rigid stay tab.

FWIW, I have successfully welded on broken mirror tabs on the newer cast aluminum stays. PM me if you need yours fixed.

I have one with the left side slightly bent. Minor. I got a new one because I wanted it to go together the first time. It was damaged with a deer strike. Deer was trying to stop but it's head hit the front left side.

$100 plus shipping. Headlight and dash not included but are for sale: both broken but maybe fixable. Ask me/?

What is wrong with the dash?

What is wrong with the dash?

The speedo is wacko. The needle dropped down and takes a while to get going, so when you are going 60 mph it says 30 mph. I don't know how to fix it and think something broke in a fall over. I put installed a used one from my parts bike with 143331 miles on it. The broken one has 37465 miles on it.
