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 ?

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  :eek

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
