Anyone repainted your FJR?

Here is how mine turned out

It looks nice. I like the color.

IIRC this was the only red FJR in the parking lot of the Skagit at WFO?

Yep, Rogdebs were in England. It'll be cool to see them both @ Reno, huh! Mebbe we should arrange to have them park side by side...just to let everyone else drool.

That is beautiful! Excellent job. Putting the decals and all back on makes it look original as well as profesional.

If the 06 ever does come I'm gonna scratch it up as fast as possible so I have a reason to repaint. Not crazy about blue.

Checked with Rogdeb this weekend. Seems his paint job was $2K +....so bring your wallet.

Did that include dis-assembly and re-assembly?

If you pull the parts, you aught to be able to get them painted a single color for $500-1000.

I'd have to ask to be sure. I think he disassembled, but took it to the dealer for some assembly, perhaps the nose piece. (I remember helping with the last bits of trim, etc.)

Remember, this is The Peoples Republik of Kalifornia, and regulations, spray booth requirements and other regulations can boost the price. But I agree, one might be able to get the parts painted for around $1K, or so.

For whoever needs to know

My paint job was $2400.00(approx)

dis-assembly myself with help from MMike

Took parts to service manager who arranged the painting

Mostly re-assembled by service shop cause I didn't want to risk scratching it

Price included a couple of new panels that were too gouged up to re-paint.

Looks like a "stock" paint job (even deep primer red inside all parts) -- you get what you pay for.

That's a different story, and good job on doing it right! That sounds like a reasonable price for the work you had done.

I got to park next to the bike at WFO-4 and thought it was a stock European bike after looking closely at the paint! Well done!!!

It was also the most distinctive bike there too.

We're talking about having some bikes parked in a special spot at WFO-5 representing different categories.

Most farkled, best customized, cleanest, rattiest, highest mileage, maybe a "Rider's Choice", etc. I would think this one is a good candidate.

:agent: IF i DROP MY 05 AND ITS GOING TO NEED A PAINT JOB. IM GOING TO DO A 50TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION LIKE THE R1 AND R6 YELLOW. I THINK IT WOULD BE SUPER COOL LOOK.

THANKS, DAN.

Are you going to be pissed when I copy-cat you? I keep thinking about it.

 

[madmike2]

That'll make 3 red ones on the Left coast. Kinda fitting!

 

[quicksilver]

cool.

I have fantasized about going with the new FZ1 red.

I think I would do the panel under the saddle too.

Jeeez "NO" Bike-effects.

The more the better of any color would be great.

I am sure that nobody (especially on this "well farkled" forum) has any personal claim to anything as far as the FJR is concerned.

OK MMike, with Quicksilvers that will be 4

he'll have to change his name though -- Quick Red? :lol:

Looks great in red !

OK who was the 1st to custom paint the FJR ?

My '03 was painted @ 2 weeks after I got her new .

 

[rogdeb]

I'd say you were the winner on this one

Wasn't that bike for sale a while back? I remember looking at it and wishing I had seen it before I bought my '05. That sequential taillight mod is awesome.
