Hello my fellow FJ'ers. It has been a few weeks since any major announcements about "Veronica" (yes my FJ has a name). Well Today I can finally reveal her colour to you all and I can start on the last phase of her rebuild. Hooray.

Thanks

Looks great Mark, love the colour. Are you leaving it like that or putting graphics on it. I think graphics would set it off better, just not sure what colour.  Mmmm....Black or white.??

Not sure if I will put graphics on it. If I do it will be minimal, maybe just YAMAHA on the tank. Want to keep it simple. I have the red brake lines, so maybe a red pinstripe. Still need to get some mirrors for it and some of the protectors for the fairing, and a few little adjustment, but I really want to ride it now. Been 3 months since I sold my Trumpy Daytona and I feel the need to get moving again. one thing that did annoy me was that when I fitted the new screen (which has been sitting in my shed for a while) there was a big scratch on it. Major bummer.

It is by no means "show quality". I have built this to ride.

Just like paint, scratches can be polished out...

Looks really clean and well done, thanks for posting up your effort of love...
