I finally got a pregen!!!!!
Hey guys. Happy to be here. Got my first pregen after wanting one since around 2005 lol. Been riding off and on for 15 years. I've owned 6 bikes prior to this
The pregen being my 7th. I currently also own and love my 2017 Yamaha Fz07. I picked up my pregen in July in VERY poor condition for very little money and have been fixing it up as time and cash have allowed. I'll share some before/after photos once I figure out how. Almost done restoring it to my liking. |

Hello Paul, welcome to the board! I got an MT-07 in October and really love it. It seems like Yamaha has been following me around for a couple years, figuring out exactly what I want in a motorcycle. It has plenty of power, and has been averaging right around 60 mpg, by the display and by calculation.
But I'm not getting rid of my '05 250 any time soon. |

This is from about two days ago. The front signals and reflectors have since been deleted and front gaining is now painted. Been working on repainting it for a couple weeks now.

Finished deleting front blinkers and reflectors and painted the fairing. I'm pretty pleased with how it came out.

I carefully cut out some plastic about 1/16" to the shape of the hole and super glued that in as a backer. The filled with body filler, smoothed with glazed putty/sanding and painted it.
