Yamaha parts prices. Having a laugh.

Recommended Posts

Just priced a new headlight up for my bike. Might be able to get away with bodging it up but just thought I'd get a worst case price. Any guesses?

Just the headlight alone. Nothing else. It retails at...... Are you sitting down. .... £906.

We've been shafted for years now, with both the price of bikes, and the necessities that go with them,I don't know what the answer to it is, but it has long become a gravy-train for  dealers.----greedy bar-stewards!!!thumb down 

I always check out 'flea-bay' before buying from franchised dealer ..confused

just looked on flea bay and I can get a 2011 headlight genuine Yamaha from the USA for about £300, rip off Britain.

apparently its a good job I did because the 2011 and 2012 are different. managed to find one out of a write off for £150. going to pick it up on Thursday from Northampton. the big thing now is the top fairing. need to find somebody locally who can plastic weld, paint and get cheap decals.
