    A quick Ebay search shows (44) of them for sale.
    I assume you are looking for an OIL pan?

    Are you referring to a chin spoiler?

    What I mean by Belly Pan is the spoiler that goes under the motor. I have seen them on xj 900. I think they are also known as "Chin Gaurds" or" Air Scoops". I have looked around the internet and all I can find are pictures but no acual place to buy them from.

    You may need to look at other model bikes for this part and modify one to work. The old Honda Interceptors had them.

    The part called a 'belly pan" is something that goes on a snowmobile.

    The part called an "air scoop" on the 900 is a very rare part that goes just under the front lower edges of the gas tank, are gray plastic, and were only on the usa delivered rk's.

    the part called a "chin" is what you are looking for. These were on non-usa delivered 900rk's. Other bikes had similar ones, for example- the fj600. There were others that have them as well. However, they are all pretty much bike-specific so whichever one you do end up finding, you will have to do some modifications. I know for a fact that the fj600 chin is different than the one for the 900rk.....I have one that I am trying to figure a way to adapt it.

    The 650's to the best of my knowledge did not come with them at all. However, if you do an internet search, there is a fellow who modified a fairing assembly to create a 650 with the full fairing and made the "bike that yamaha intended to, but never made" bike. I can't remember the site, but he does a nice detailed writeup on just what he had to do to make it work. Plus, he ended up with a really sharp bike.

    I'm sure others have more detailed info for you, and probably have more knowledge than I.
