Ben Bostrom’s Supersport-championship-winning Yamaha R6 might be in a museum, but an identical bike can now be built at a reasonable cost with Graves Motorsports’ new line of high-end WORKS performance parts.
No longer “unobtainium,” Graves’ WORKS line of factory parts for privateers closes the gap between racing’s haves and have-nots by featuring the very components Team Graves Motorsports Yamaha developed and perfected along the way to winning seven national championships in the last five years of hard-fought roadracing and Supermoto competition at the highest levels.
Graves’ WORKS pieces are distinguished from their current Graves Motorsports-branded aftermarket counterparts by a racing-only pedigree and can only be found at WORKS.gravesport.com.
This no-nonsense online catalog and purchasing platform features more than 1000 trick items for the Supersport-sizzling R6 and new-for-2009 R1, including the entire WORKS line and all of Yamaha’s YEC factory race kit parts--many of which are homologated for AMA Pro Racing in 2009. The highly technical site offers finely drawn schematics, parts descriptions, pricing and invaluable parts interchangeability charts that show the compatibility between 2008- and ’09-spec pieces.
