Yamaha MT-07 Fairings
About the Yamaha MT-07
The Yamaha MT-07 is a 689cc parallel-twin naked bike that became one of Yamaha’s best-selling middleweights by pairing a compact, torque-rich engine with a light and agile chassis. Positioned between entry-level machines and full-power nakeds, the MT-07 is popular with commuters, newer riders stepping up, and experienced riders who want an easy-handling street bike. Its minimal bodywork is part of the appeal, but the radiator side covers, headlight surround, and tail section are exactly the pieces that crack in a parking-lot drop or scrape. Replacing them restores the bike’s look without the cost of a dealer order.
MT-07 Generations & Year Ranges
Yamaha launched the MT-07 in 2014 and kept the core bodywork stable through the first generation, with the most visible update arriving for 2018 when the headlight and front end were revised. Earlier 2014-2017 bikes share one set of front and side panels, while 2018-on models use the updated headlight surround and associated covers. Because the change is at the front, riders should confirm whether their bike is pre- or post-2018 before ordering, since the headlight shroud will not interchange between the two.
Popular MT-07 Styles & Liveries
The MT-07 is best known for Yamaha’s “MT” dark, aggressive styling, most often seen in matte black or the deep blue used across the range. Aftermarket owners frequently choose gloss black side covers for a stealth build, or a single bold accent color to contrast the naked frame. Race-style or carbon-look radiator covers are a common small upgrade. Because the bike is naked, most liveries are simple and graphic-led rather than full-body replicas, which keeps the look clean and readable.
What’s Included in the Kit
A typical MT-07 fairing kit focuses on the exposed panels: the left and right radiator side covers, the headlight surround or cowl, the tail section or seat cowl, and sometimes the front fender. There is no large upper fairing as on a fully faired sport bike, so the kit is smaller and lighter. Some listings add a tank cover to extend the finish across the top. Confirm the exact panel list on the product page, since naked-bike kits vary more between sellers than full sport fairing sets.
Fitment: Make Sure You Pick the Right Year
The MT-07’s bodywork changed at the 2018 model year, so the headlight surround and front covers differ between early and later bikes. Before ordering, check your VIN or the headlight shape: the rounded pre-2018 unit versus the sharper 2018-on design is the easiest tell. Ordering the wrong front cover is the most common mistake on this model, and it is cheaper to confirm the year now than to return a painted panel later.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are MT-07 fairings the same as MT-09?
No. Despite shared styling language, the radiator covers and tail section are model-specific and do not interchange between the MT-07 and MT-09.
How long does shipping take?
Production is 10-15 business days, then 15-20 by air or 20-25 by ocean. A tracking number is issued when the kit leaves our facility.
Can I return a painted panel?
Yes, within 14 days of delivery if unused and in original packaging. You pay return shipping; there is no restocking fee.
Will these fit both ABS and non-ABS models?
Yes. The bodywork is identical between ABS and non-ABS MT-07 variants of the same year range.
Do I need a mechanic to fit them?
Most riders fit the side covers and tail themselves with basic tools, though the headlight surround takes a little more patience to align.
Are bare panels available?
Yes. Unpainted ABS sets are offered if you plan to wrap or paint the covers yourself to match a custom build.
