Pannier Rails & Screen for IVJ XT600 Tenere wanted
Hi folks,
I am looking for a set of pannier rails for my 1987 IVJ Yamaha XT600 Tenere.
Does anybody out there have a set with fittings which they don't use or
don't need any longer? It's amazing what folks have lying round in their
garage for years; unused!
If you have a set for sale, please make contact
I am also looking to fit a screen to the standard nose headlight surround fitted
to the standard 1VJ. Does anybody out there have any information on a screen
which will fit to the standard fairing without too much work i.e. make and model and
where I can get one please?
Thanks for your help folks.
Cheers
Cliff

Mini screen
I have fitted a Givi mini screen. £15 ebay . The size is perfect and what a difference it makes . Fits to handlebars and cross-brace very neatly.

Pannier mounts
I forgot to mention where I got my pannier mounting rails. Ebay.de. The Germans have loads of bits for these machines. The rails were for a later model but were modified to fit. The only problem with dealing on Euro ebay is paying. Money transfers cost a fortune. I have sent cash on four occasions with no problems.

1VJ Screen & Pannier Rails - Cheers Bernard
Bernard - many thanks for the response - the only one so far!
With regard the Givi mini screen, I cannot find one on e-bay at present or anywhere else for that matter. Any ideas where I can get one please?
Thanks very much for the info on the pannier rails. I have managed to find a supplier in the UK, but they want £220 for new and £150 for a second hand set. Seems a little on the excessive side me thinks!? However, I will try German
e-bay and see what is available; but I will have to brush up on my German a little first!!!
Cheers mate.
Regards
Cliff
P.S. If anyone else can help, I will be pleased to hear from you.

Pannier rails
Hi Cliff
Could you tell me who the U.K. supplier you mention is?
I was knocked off recently and might need a quote for insurance purposes.
I will keep an eye out for a screen. You will not believe the difference it will make.

Pannier Rails & Screen for 1VJ XT600 Tenere
Hi Bernard,
Thanks for responding again. Hope the shunt wasn't too bad.
The supplier of the pannier rails is David Lambeth Rally & Overland who is based
down on the Kent Sussex border. His phone number is 01892 853913 and his
e-mail address is bigbluecoach@hotmail.com.
Cheers for your note about the screen. I would be happy to purchase a new
screen if you know of a supplier, rather than wait for a second hand one to come up on e-bay.
I have been trying to find a screen which will bolt to the standard fairing/
headlamp surround, but the angle of the top of the fairing makes it rather
difficult to find anything suitable, unless anybody out there knows of one
which would do the job? Having said that Bernard, your option of a handlebar mounted screen would be fine if I can find one!
Cheers mate.
Cliff
