'84 FJ1100 resto mod

Very nice. Must be great to be able to paint. I really like that 70s black Yamaha strips. That to me screams Yamaha.
In my opinion, it is hard to tell one Japanese bike from another now days. They are mostly pointy and plastic.

Thanks Paul. This is not the final finish. I need to sand it with water 1000 grit paper and spray some final coats of clear. This will remove the edge between the red and the black and white stripes.

Wow, that red really explodes in the sun!

I finally got the color I wanted. I sprayed a bright solid red and then a small coat of the metallic one. The effect under the sun is really nice!



Under the sun, it give a nice gold/orange pearl effect

is the stripe hand painted or decal?

[stou]

mtc, it is painted. I'll probably put a mat black Yamaha tuning forks logo on the tank. I have a sticker cutter ;-)

Thought of your project when I saw this picture -

[stou]

I still work on the paint. Here's the tail light I made. I designed it in 3D in Fusion 360, printed it on my 3D printer and painted it. I installed a LED tail and blinker light.

Since there's no emoji for drooling this will have to do. 

"nice work" is an understatement!

Thanks guys for your comments!

Yes that is awesome. I wish I could paint. It's going to be one of the best. You could sell those tail lights.
Wow.

That triangular tail graphic looks way better than the original design images. I like the whole look.

The race FJ also looks totally awesome.......great paint scheme too.

Giantkiller, I tought about selling the tail light but it took something like 8 or 10 hours to print it with a high res fill pattern. Maybe for only few unit it can be ok but 3D printing is not really good for serial production. Anyway, I don't think it can really have demand for it.

The original design was only to get an idea of the rendering. When it comme to the real parts, it's always a bit different with all shapes of the bodywork.

Absolutely beautiful. I'm jealous lol

Work is progressing well. Here's a small to do list:

Carb sync
Turn signal
Light for licence plate
Seat
Chain guard
Gas tank final install
Secure correctly some wires
Windscreen
Mirrors









I'm not sure about the tuning forks logo on the tail section.
