Left side Frame Cap Alu?

[Fz6Sa]

Ok,- so I got the Frame Cap Alu from Yamaha.
Well to be honest I got 2 ....,- I figured I needed one for each side of the bike .....
BUT:
The Frame Cap Alu from Yamaha only fits the right side .........

Anyone knows if there's anything available out there for the left side?

Edit: Pic of the right-side one from Yamaha:

that definitely makes the right side look a lot better, have you contacted them to see if they have anything for the left side?

Not yet. I picked up the plugs this afternoon, so I'll go and ask em tomorrow.
But yes, - I think it looks cool too

Just to clarify;

This is the plug I got OEM from Yamaha:

This is the plug I'm missing:

That makes it look better and cleaner. By chance what part number is that?
And how much was it?
I may stop by my local dealer to pick one up in black.

Partnumber is: 5VX-W0707-20-00

Here in Denmark it was DKK 260,- so like $45 US.

Could you possibly take and post a pic of the other side of the cap. Wondering if you could grind the sides that fit into the hole that has the non-round shape. MUCH appreciated if possible. thanks

According to my local Yamaha stealer, there is nothing for the left side
But there must be some 3 party product out there?

Nice idea. We need someone with access to a machine shop who can buy a shedload of Yamaha caps and sell sets of 'em to us that fit both sides. In fact, I bet it would be even cheaper with large numbers to just manufacture them from scratch!

The mounting is quite simple.

In the set you find:

1 Cap (See photos)
1 O-ring (Fitted on the cap in the photos)
1 Raw Pluck (Yes you read it right)
1 threaded rod.

To install:
1. Insert the raw pluck in the hole.
2. Fit the o-ring on the cap.
3. Screw the rod into the cap (center hole backside)
4. Screw the cap/rod into the raw pluck till tight.

I cant easily get the rod out of the raw pluck any more, but here is a picture of the raw pluck mounted with the rod. (When you remove the cap after initial installation, the cap unscrews from the rod).
Should give you an general idea:

Perhaps it would be a job for luckyirishboy209? He does the Foot Pegs in Aluminium already ........

Would be really cool if they were made with "FZ6-FORUM" CNC'ed into em :rockon:

Anybody who knows this product?

 

[Boneman]

Thanks for the info Fz6Sa! :thumbup:

I bit the bullet and ordered one up today. $40.99 CDN - 1 week for delivery.

Pricey for what it is.....but that can be said for most mod parts! (just don't tell the wife!)

its all about the bling value

I forget where I heard it, but I heard that a company called JSpeed is supposed to be developing a set of swing arm plugs for the FZ6. The left side is already notched to fit the frame. I havent seen anything on their website yet, but I'll keep lookin.
