Premium Member scottygat Posted February 27, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted February 27, 2016 Ok people.. I am about to pull the trigger and get a set of 2016 black fuel tank and fender panels for my white 2015 FZ. Does anyone know if it will work? customer service guy said that they don't show up as compatible in the system, but that he thinks it may only be because the 2015 doesn't have the black color scheme. I've got all the parts in the cart. Any thoughts/suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member norcal616 Posted February 27, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted February 27, 2016 I believe they will work unless some freak accident of a reason Yamaha decides to change the " snap tab" locations where the plastic snaps together... 2015 fz-07- Hordpower Edition...2015 fj-09- 120whp- Graves Exhaust w/Woolich Race Kit- tuned by 2WDW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member scottygat Posted February 27, 2016 Author Premium Member Share Posted February 27, 2016 I've stared at the specs for both and have found no discernible differences. I feel like the two bikes are probably the same size. But I don't know. maybe I'll bite the bullet and be first to find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simbadc650 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Think color and updated ecu is about the only difference. Hard to correct perfection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angus Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 I have a Black 2016, What do you need to know? If you are anywhere near western NY stop by and we can try the panels on. Considering the cost of molds and tooling I doubt there is any difference other than color. I have already purchased an extra set of gloss black rear plastic from Ron Ayers, they seemed to be the least expensive and the service was excellent. I'm going to cut the panels for my rear rack and keep the originals for the future. If you decide to sell the white pieces, please let me know, I really like the white bikes.

aaron Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 What is the approximate cost to swap out panels? I think it would be cool to have multiple sets and be able to swap colors when wanting a change. I would love to have the grey with my black wheels.

Premium Member Eastern Kayaker Posted February 27, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted February 27, 2016 What is the approximate cost to swap out panels? I think it would be cool to have multiple sets and be able to swap colors when wanting a change. I would love to have the grey with my black wheels. I changed mine last year (March 2015) for $150 (includes shipping). You need the left and right tank panels and the panel piece in the center with the color code you want. There are also 2 foam damper plates glued on the inside of each of the tank panels on your bike. You can carefully remove these foam damper parts and glue them on your new panels or just order these damper parts when you order your new panels. I believe these foam dampers are installed to prevent rattling and cushion the tank panel parts. Here are some places that people have ordered parts from online, just compare prices with shipping to find the best price: www.yamahapartshouse.com www.partsfish.com www.partspak.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
