Current factory scheme (except the wheels)



I like the grayscales and matte finishes lately





Maybe with wheel stripes...

Looks like your tank could use some Dent-B-Gone.

I have one, too. About the size of my knee. (Just ask Pat Conlon. He got to see it appear!  :dash2: )

As for your paint ideas, they look interesting. I think I like the first one the best.

Yeah, I think the PO dropped it on it's side and gave it the dimple. hasn't slowed her down one bit!

I like #1 as well. The stripes are a little much. I'm also thinking of a reflective clear stripe on the wheels. I like the visibility for dark riding. I like the dark matte paint scheme, but I don't wanna disappear after dark.


BTW, I'm building a Paint Shop Pro 9 layered file with layers for wheels, and the different colors. I'll put it on the file section if anyone wants it.

I did something similar a while back with a Photoshop file: http://www.fjowners.com/index.php?topic=8448.0

Yes, please post yours, too.

Quite by chance, if that's Paul's old bike, then Pat got to see how that one got dented as well.

LOL, I bought the bike in 2007 down in San Diego. Who Knows?

I think the second one looks pretty bad-ass...yet tasteful.

Paint it Red , with black stripes or Black with red stripes kinda like a 88 fj.

Sorry i am partial to red it just jumps out at you like a hot rod.

You know, the more I look at it next to the first one, the better I like it. Easier to do as well, just leave the silver where it is and mask it off to spray the black.

I think Yamaha made that color scheme so they could sell more bikes in the Canadian market.   :biggrin:   Dave

Of the photos shown, I like this the best. I like the dark front wheel with the dark color of the fairing. Then color match the rear wheel with the silver. Or....... Like Derek said......Red and White... :yahoo:

Sorry boys, no Red, nor White for me. I'm thinking of a metallic graphite or anthracite or other dark shade to replace the Violet.

Fred, not so sure about matching the rear with silver.

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:
