Two words:  RED... WHITE...

Come now...we're an egalitarian, accepting sort. If a fellow FJOC  member wants a different paint scheme, who are we to judge? Allow for differences. Openly accept those with lesser tastes. I may be slightly biased, myself, but then again...

I ride an Ambulance. So I'm above that petty sort of thing.  :biggrin:

Thanks... I think.  :)

I have been trying to buy one of these for the last 6 mths, after missing a couple by trying to steal them, this one came up in the colour I wanted, only one I had seen, so I committed to buy at the sticker price - only to miss it by 30 mins.

Anyway, my point is, this two tone browny grey, black and silver in matt looks awesome, I love it, very similar to the colours you picked.

Looks awesome, Noel. I'm not sure why I gravitate to that grayscale palette. It's just very clean and sharp. One thing I noticed on mine was that the decals contain a third blue hue that I painted over in the modified pics. Not sure if it would work better to just cut that portion off or actually paint over the decal.

Hold the wheel stripes.


Yeah, way too busy, and ricer. I'm pretty sure I'm going with the second pic in my first post. The silver Yamaha paint is still available, and I gotta look through the codes for a good dark charcoal or graphite shade.
