No removment, but replacement 

Hey Mark, would the angle on the CBR mirror be acceptable if i manage to use the mounting plates the came with? Those mirror adapters turned out to be too expensive to fabricate here locally apparently. Thought i go for the cbr mirror mode with intergrated turnsignal.

I might know where a set of my custom wedge plates might be found. Let me send off a PM and see what happens.

Thanks Mark

About bloody time!! 

Finally winter is here

Just got this pictures sent over from the painter on my phone..
I think it will look really good when it get some decals on and clearcoat.

Unfortunately i have left the ambulance color for the bike, and expect a visit from the Red Power Ranger to whoop some sense into me 
But not to worry. Spare parts are constantly added so i will soon have enough fairing parts for a second complete set.

Nice paint job and I like the color. Can't wait to see the decals that you are using. Love that color Ken !

 There is no right or wrong color. Very nice paint. Enjoy the task of picking them up. When you get home the smell of fresh paint will fill the whole garage!!!

[keand3]

George,  as of now I only have the oem fj1200 decals.  But haven't decided if I only want to go with standard  fj decals or add some  newer ones or other marks. Looking  at  a clean simple fish so that the paint is  in focus and not the decals. Going No decals would seem to monotone i think. We'll see


I think  RPM deserves a spot never the less , if i only can find those stickers again

Fj johnnie, yes the smell of fresh  paint is addictive

Hey Ken, no ass whipping from the Monkey today. You can have any color you want, its your FJ. I will be waiting to see how it turns out, just don't bugger it up!!!! 

[keand3]

Then i will have to whoop my self  some. You see  i do think the ambulance color is superior, and  is the theme that fits the bike best, IMO 
But it would be increased expens going with 3 color so my budget had to settle for one.   
Anyway  I think it's a awesome color.

The blue looks awesome. Can't wait to see the finished product. You mentioned that you have a set of decals. What color set are you going to use?

My 87' came Monotone black when I purchased it. I agree with you, needed some color added. I went with the OEM Gold/Silver 89' decals. This is the set I ordered.

The only thing I was not thrilled with, was the FJ is a bit larger than OEM.

Well, the color of the decals is black. At least the last set I ordered. I had one set i ordered last year, but i have misplaced it somewhere and can't find it. That was with the red and black colors for teh 86.
I thought i might go for silver decals, but since the paint is allready very shiny, i don't think they will match up.
Black would perhaps give it the darker heavy tone that it needs to "break" off the bright blue color.

The color is by the way named "Interlagos Blue" and is a color option found on a lot of BMW's M5 and M3's.

Cheers

Went to the paint shop today and attached the decals to the fairing.
Unfortunately i forgot my phone and weren't able to take any pics so i will try to explain instead.

The belly pan will just have letters spelled Yamaha on both sides.
On the tank i choose to have the word Yamaha followed  by their logo.
Side panels will state FJ1200, all decals are black.

Will post pictures on Thursday i guess. They should be finished by then. Other then that my rim got itself some new bearings and brake disc 

Cheers

I can't wait to see how it looks. I will save your seat at the Ambulance Drivers secrete clubhouse in case you change your colors back.

Great looking mods. Paints awsome! Grabbed five pics from your gallery. I'll be starting to assemble soon.
