Should you change the factory colour scheme of your FJ??

[rktmanfj]

No, I remember some in JPS Black with gold striping like the Lotus F1 cars, but I can't find any pics.
Spent way too much time looking, but no results.

I did find a great pic of my first bike, a Bultaco 250 Metralla MkII  :-)  so all was not wasted.

Yes, the 1st pic on the 5th row.  Not the 588 rotary.

I'm a guy that votes for stock first.   but... if I had a 2nd to play customizer with I would do this:

I like the stock pattern and just mix up the colors.   I love what Torben S. did with his (sans luggage anyway)!

I love this bike Erich, I couldn't find the link to it, nice work!  Krouser bag on it looks great.

Do what you want - whatever makes your kookaloo louder!

I bought mine as a "rolling basket case" with a very poorly done "custom" paint job- scuffed and sprayed it with rattle flat black about 11 years ago - still that way today!

On the 84 dragbike I kept the stock red and silver paint scheme but blacked out the frame & swingarm - nice combo!

Would like to see a pic of the drag bike with blacked out frame and swingarm. going to get the frame powdercoated and been kickin around, going with black instead of silver.

Brain Hunt painted his '89 using the stock lines and just changed up the colors.  Not a very good picture.. too lazy to dig up a better one..

He did a nice job with it.

How about this one?



Dunno whose it is, just happened to find today amongst some FJ pics i had.

[fj1289]

Giantkiller - here's a couple pics of the dragbike. The sidecovers are stock but the tank and fairing were spray bomb resprays and missing some decals.

[pdxfj]

That is a swing-arm off a VFR800.

Not the easiest mod....

Link fixed if anyone should be interested.

Thank's for the kind words.

A few changes have been don since - wheels, brakes, forks, engine.. Still loves the bike, and can't really find a replacement.
