Just needs stickering up

[paul1606]

Finally finished getting decaled up in the next couple of days (yamaha back on the tank ,fazer on the nosecone & yamaha across the bottom of the lowers all in the same shade gold as the wheels) could be a bit blingy for some  but hey ho i like it. Will post more piccys when done ,what do you think ????

[ghostbiker]

Looks nice, did you think about painting the air box covers ?

[cable tie]

Looks nice and I think with right  decals will look even better,  I'm sure that's a nitron shock I can see !

Good spot Dave on the nitron shock ,go touring a lot 2,s up with full luggage found the OE a bit "Bouncy" so lashed out on the nitron well pleased with it .
 And to answer ghostbiker i did consider painting the airbox covers but thought it would over do it a bit with the blue , so left them being as there is other black bits around the bike personal preference i guess.

Hi Paul
 
that looks really nice
 
just a thought mate , to complement the bike i would add some yellow speed blocks to it , like the Gauloises TZR250 i used to drool over in the window of a bike shop in Derby many moons ago,  i owned one in 1995 , bought from powerslide bikes from 125 racer Alex Bedford.
 
I aint got any pics of  it to post, but that with the gold wheels looked awesome and a good tribute to 500 gp racer Christian Sarron and 250 racer and elbow scraper John Phillip Ruggia 
 
You beat yamaha colour schemes from 80's and 90's in my opinion.
 
The good old days 
 
 
cheers Jacko

looks great but if it were mine i wouldnt put the word yamaha on the tank id get 2 of those small gell tuning fork thingamybobs like the newer ones have

Good job all round.  I agree about the tuning fork decals on the tank rather than Yamaha lettering. 

Who did the paint?

[devilsyam]

i like it plain but agree on at least the tuning fork logo on the tank

[tomlinscote]

Another vote for the tuning forks, I have them on mine and I prefer them to a mate's wordy ones.
Where did you get the lower fairing panels from I knew you could get them for the gen2 but didn't know gen1 ones were available????

Looks good although I went the other way and included the airbox covers in my colour matching - also did the bar ends!

[snapper]

I think it looks great as it is !
 
 if anything just call it the Blue Meanie and have that on the tank !

Its the joys of having a son that works in a bodyshop (payback i call it for all the "dads taxi rides" ) I sourced the correct yam paint for them though

Was going down the fork on the tank route as many have suggested but ive got a signwrighters to duplicate the exsisting tank decals & fazer in gold ,the bodyshops going to polish & relacquer over the decals. Im waiting till all thats done because if the middle area looks as if it needs something i,m putting a good size tuning fork printed out to go there & did,nt want to overpower it with too many fork decals.
For information its the POLY 26 lowers

[bludclot]

 
looks brilliant paul! i remember your thread asking about those lowers - great to see the results turned out so well. i think that your stickering plans will work out looking great too, good luck!

[paul1606]

All finished    "blinged up" with all the  decals in gold & gold gel badge on the front just to top it off
