Does anyone know if these fit a YB6. I cant recall if the engine mounts are the same. The frame clearly is. GSG cant confirm

Many thanks.

I can't say one way or the other. The yb11 is listed as having the 1000 Thunderace engine fitted. Not sure if they are the same as the FZR1000 engine fitted to the yb6 so maybe different engine mounts??

There are so very few BIMOTA specific after market parts out there that you almost always have to use trial and error to find what may or may not work on the bike.

And often the best you can do is find something that is close enough to fitting that it can be modified or adapted to make it work, or at least provide enough design ideas to allow the creative person to fabricate the item that is ultimately used on the bike.

I suggest you buy these and try them. See if the fit, or if they can be made to fit with some adaptation and or modifications.

If you are lucky, you will eventually get what you want ( something that works either with or without some work).

In a worse case outcome, you can alway turn around and sell the items on the internet.

I know that this can be expensive and time intensive, but BIMOTAs are not cheap bikes , nor are they inexpensive to own and upgrade.

Its part of the "BIMOTA experience"
