Sorry, something must be wrong with my display.... I don't see any "color" at all in the image. Looks all black/white/grey.

The front turnsignal oddly seems to have a bit of color to it.

I think that will look great. Sign me up for the pictures too, please!

I'm with you Knifemaker. I must be going color blind.

A few months ago a guy hit me causing my bike to go down and tear up the left side of the bike and crack the front fairing. I am fine and his insurance is paying for all the damages as the driver was completely at fault. The insurance totaled-out my bike and paid for the replacement as I am keep my FJR.. I love it.. So I need to get new plastics for the bike. I started thinking, "well if I am going to fix it all why not get a new look for the bike with some custom paint design?"

It's something I have thought about. So after I worked on the design for a bit I have something I really like. I thought I would share it with you guys.

Hope you enjoy and I will post picks of the new paint on the bike once I get it done// it will take a while if I go for it.

Thanks.

Have you thought about going with a solid color, then add the contrasting color using some sort of self-adhesive decal?

Looks great.. curious on who will paint the plastic for you and associated expense? Will the black and silver be exisisting Yamaha OEM colors with graphite being something new? What color plastic will you start with?

Looks great! I really like 2 tone paint jobs. I had a '79 BMW R100RS in blue/silver and still think it was the prettiest bike I ever owned.

 

[FJRMGM]

Always been a fan of silver and black. B) Looks dam good, reminds me of my 02 CBR954.

+1 - same with my '02 CBR954...

[incoherent]

I like it! It reminds me of the Blue/White & Blue/Silver paint (I know not the same colors, but the general scheme) on the '91 and '92 FJ1200!

 

[blrfjr]

Did ya get er painted? love to see pics~ I like it and it looks fast and sexy...

 

[Bounce]

My concern is about silver and/or grey mixes is that you disappear into the background to other traffic.

Yeah, I'm sufferin' from "Knifemaker/GPRider Color Deficiency Syndrome" as well. Looks like a sales brochure picture run thru a monochrome copy machine. I don't see any "color" in that picture at all.
