stickshift Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 I haven’t ever come across any. This guy makes his own mesh inserts, I reckon you could use thin acrylic for the look you want: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard for me to keep straight. I have to think it through every time. Translucent Trans= movement Lucent= lumens Light moves through. I prefer "see-through" and "solid".

Yamaha released mesh inserts (for front and rear) in various colours as original accessories for the first gen model. I have their silver mesh in the front 'intakes'. In hindsight I would have preferred to make my own for less cost. There's still some old stock being sold on ebay: Yamaha MT-07 Steel Mesh Side Cover Set WHITE Genuine Accessory FZ-07 All pictures are for illustration purposes ONLY.

I believe the gen 1 & 2 are different. It would be just as easy to spray the existing mesh a different colour, or buy a different texture of mesh and spray it.

Spray primer first might get the paint to adhere better. Easy! Edited December 21, 2021 by stickshift Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstyammerha Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 I think he's talking about the scoop itself and not the mesh. Maybe they could be made with one of those 3D printer thingies. The local library offers a service to do custom stuff from one of those. Only thing is you have to provide a drawing on a memory stick using 3D printing software. Over my head by a lot but neat stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
