I am saving up for a yzf-r3 atm, and I wonder if any of you have done some modifications to Your r3's. I was thinking of getting rid of the fairings and making a modern approach to a cafe racer With the r3 as a base. Do you guys (or Girls) have any suggestions of what I can do without breaking the bank? All suggestions are appreciated

There are some reports indicating that Yamaha will release a "naked" R3, currently referred to as the "MT-320", in 2016. Such a bike will probably make a more suitable base for cafe racer conversion.

Or you can hit up the eBay parts bin for the knick-knacks for which you're seeking.
Ron Ayers has some nice bits too, and they frequently run specials.
