Hi
Isn't the SB6R headlight a Yamaha light? Did see an SB6 recently that had some Stack (sp) instruments fitted.
Airtech in the USA make replacement SBR panels.

Hi
Forgot, about 5 years ago there was someone making replacement bodywork for Bimotas in the UK. Will try and remember who. They were trading as a Bimota specialist at the time.
All the best

Thank's Keith, Already thought of Airtech but they only do panels for the SB6 not SB6R, since you mentioned them, I remembered that the SB6 and SB6R front mudguards are the same so fired off an email to them and hoping for a result on at least one item |

Hi
Remembered. Think it was Altamura Motorsports. Can't see a web site but they seem to appear in a load of the business listing pages. Afraid I don't know if they are still in the business of supplying bodywork.
All the best

No joy with Altamura but I've just been talking to Dutch at Airtech and you SB6 guys will be pleased to hear that they are still doing SB6 bodywork. About 4 weeks for international orders though. To give you a clue on pricing they want $60 something for a front mudguard and Bimota want 170 something euros |

And how big was the something .
We have a couple of Gilera CX125s and they do bodywork for those but the expected postage cost has put me off.

Hi
Ouch. The rear mudguard on my Dieci is looking a touch the worse for wear. Postage might be nominal if it could slot into the middle of a large box of Gilera panels.
All the best

I can help on the headlight thing if you still have the plastic moulding that they are part of.
I recently bought a pair off a Kawasaki ZXR400, removed the headlights only and then on the bimota I carfully used a dremell to remove the moulded headlamp shells from the one piece moulding.
I then bonded the ZXR ones in and they fitted perfectly.
I now not only have legal headlights (as mine had cracked lenses) but I can actually see where I am going at night now cos I have halogens instead of the candles that bimota fitted as standard |

Hi
Just by chance I found the old Altamura Motorsports Ltd brochure which listed all the bodwork they did (pretty much everything for an SB6R).
Their address was:-
Altamura Motorsports Ltd
Fox Ban
Peper Harrow Park
Godalming
Surrey
01483 426777
All the best
