Yamaha MT-09 Tracer Receives Body Kit from JMV Concept

JMV Concept shows a modding kit for the fairing of the Yamaha MT-09 Tracer that is easy to install and can also be painted in a color of your choice. The body kit is, of course, available in original colors for your specific Tracer in case contrasts are not your favorite game.

Yamaha built the Tracer upon the excellent MT09 roadster platform, and is intended to be a sporty travel bike. However, long hauls usually come with increased fatigue because of exposure to wind, so that's why manufacturers often add wind protection to their bikes even though the overall attire might change.

We rode the Yamaha MT-09 Tracer and can vouch that the machine could use better wind protection, especially when traveling fast and for a prolonged time. If you're willing to "sacrifice" a bit of menacing looks, the JMV Concept solution may solve your problems.

Older FZ looks are an interesting aesthetic change

The JMV body kit adds a bit of GT to the Tracer, as it introduces a strong resemblance to the old FZS 1000 Fazer GT and FZ1 Fazer GT machines. Some might like this and some might not, but the most important aspect is the extra weather protection it introduces.

The Yamaha MT-09 GTracer is better at splitting air and rain, and will thus be more comfortable during longer journeys. The fairing was designed for a perfect fit on the Tracer and comes with all the necessary mounting hardware and instructions, so having it installed will be an easy and fun job even for the not-so-skilled bike mechanics.

A matching rear fender can be ordered and it will accommodate larger wheels. Also, it will add extra protection to the rear monoshock. All the parts are made from fiberglass composite and can be easily repaired if damaged in a fall. The body kit is €378, while the rear fender is €146 ($413 and $160, respectively). If you feel like adding some GT to your Yamaha MT-09 Tracer, head over to JMV Concept and get your kit.
