2022 Yamaha MT-07 Build sheet
  • Renthal low street handlebarLower, wider bend. Stock cables and lines reached on mine, but measure at full lock before you commit — advisory, not a promise.$95
  • ODI gripsThe old grips don't survive removal anyway. Cheap finishing touch while the bars are off.$25
  • CRG Hindsight bar-end mirrors (pair)Fold-in, actually usable glass. First real rear view I've had on this bike; they do widen the bar ends — mind the garage door frame.$150
  • New Rage Cycles fender eliminatorPlug-and-play, transforms the back of the bike. Stock unit went in a labeled box for resale day.$135
  • LED front turn signalsMatches the rear kit. Watch for fast-flash — some kits include resistors, some assume you have them.$70
  • LeoVince LV-10 slip-onThe budget-tier can that fits the brat look. Loud with the baffle out, still not quiet with it in. Sound, not power.$270
  • Seat Concepts comfort seat kitFoam-and-cover kit on the stock pan — a staple gun and an hour of swearing. The single most useful part on this list.$275
  • Puig naked-bike flyscreen (dark smoke)Style purchase, and I'm owning that. Takes a little wind off your chest at 70; mostly it completes the front end visually.$95

The story

This is not a performance build and I'm not going to pretend otherwise. The MT-07 is my commuter and weekend bike, the CP2 motor is perfect as delivered, and what I wanted was the brat stance — lower, flatter, cleaner — without cutting the subframe or doing anything a future owner would hate me for. Every part here bolts on and unbolts.

Bars first, because they change the bike more than anything cosmetic: a lower, wider bend puts a little weight on the front and makes the MT feel planted instead of perched. Bar-end mirrors got me an actual view of the lane behind me instead of my elbows, and the tail tidy fixed the plastic diving board Yamaha ships. The flyscreen is cosmetic. I know it. It looks right and blocks maybe ten percent of the wind, and I'd probably skip it next time.

The honest part: the LV-10 is loud. Genuinely loud. The baffle stays in for my street and comes out about twice a year, and if your neighbors are close, hear one before you buy one. The seat kit is the sleeper purchase of the whole list — the stock seat is a styling exercise, and after the swap a hundred-mile day stopped being a countdown.

What I’d do differently. Seat first next time — it's the only part here I'd call necessary, and I rode a year on the stock plank before ordering it. And I'd skip the flyscreen; it photographs better than it works.
