was discussing changing colours on bikes today, got a great deal when I bought the bike but the colour wasnt my first choice.. looked into changing the colour but finding decent panels in the right colour combinations can be a bit hit and miss.. ebay doesnt always have them in the colours Im looking at or has parts that are slightly damaged or marked and would need touched up so I thopught of looking into the cost with brand new parts...
Wasnt worried about proper factory bodywork/engine paint combinations as such.. I have a '05 silver model with silver engine but want to reduce the amount of silver on the bike.. I feel theres too much currently especially with the added colour matched hugger and belly pan.. (see avatar)
Not looking for a custom paintjob or anything, just something I can swap over so factory colours/decals are fine..
Did think about the respray route but wondered if buying new might be a cheaper option after you consider the price or a respray, new decals and such.. genuine Yamaha colours are bloomin' expensive!!
Does anyone know any wesites etc that sell new panels/tanks etc..
been looking round the net but aint having much luck.. plenty of sites selling all the other stuff - tyres, engine parts, seats, electrics etc but cant find anyone doing panels or related bodywork..
Thoughts?
