    This is all good info. I just received my Tri Z this week after being shipped to me. I started making a list of little odds and ends figuring there may be a yamaha parts center comparable to service honda (I can buy alot for my 250R). I got no where every single part I asked for was discontinued. My bike is black and luckly it came with an extra set of Rear OEM fenders in the Yamaha packaging. I was lucky enough to score a yellow headlight cover new in the yamaha packaging on ebay I'll save because I know i'll buy a yellow next and maybe try the 490 conversion as listed above. My collection is growing fast.

    FYI, I've tried the 400ex hubs on a couple Z axles and they don't fit. They're just too tight. The alxe splines would have to be severly worn for them to have a chance.

    The hub splines wear out a lot faster than axle splines, so its better to hunt for some hubs a couple years old than to hunt for a worn out axle. Ive got Honda hubs on both of mine.

    LonesomeTri-Z informed me that Suzuki has a headlight that is exactly the same as the Z headlight but he cannot remember what the Suzuki headlight went to. Anybody know? The price difference is pretty substantial. $65 for the Z and $12 for the Suzuki and it's apparently the exact same headlight.

    Thanks.

    As you can see I need to find out what that part is or pony up $65 each for them.

    Well i just got done installing the almost new headlights and man!!! I never new my old Z lenses were so dull looking entill i put these on. , what you need is the headlight from a 2002 kawasaki bayou 220, The part #'s on the lenses are even the same. The headlight goes right in. But if you use them you dont need to use the upper rubber shim thingy because the top tab on the bayou headlights are fatter and fit nice and snug without the rubber. One more thing i had to do was change to a bigger adjustment screw on the bottom of the headlight, like 1 size bigger. I hope this info helps you out. I checked on the price and they are $38 a peice through bikebandit.com. I would buy 2 though. They look like a mirrior and so shiny. Wish i had a camera. Later!!!!

    Apparently there's an even cheaper option. LonesomeTri-Z got them for 12 bucks each brand new. Supposedly off a Suzuki. Identical to the Z headlight in every way.

    It's progress though! 38 bucks is still a lot better than 65.
