Hey all,

EDIT:CUSTOM PAINT IT IS, THOUGH ITS NOT REALLY GONNA BE TOO CUSTOM!!!!

SEE POST #23 FOR HOW ITS GONNA BE.

I am getting bored of my stock 07A color. Farkled it up with all the Silver stripes and all and now I am considering a plastic swap or I may I decide to go with some custom paint.

For those who aint seen my ride:

Have you lost your mind?

Don't even think of trading straight across. Everyone knows Black Cherry is the most highly sought after color. I think you're nuts for wanting to trade it away.

Bokerfork,

Well I appreciate your comments. I really like my Black Cherry, just getting bored

and was hoping to find someone else bored of their Black.

I didn't realize that color was something to get bored with when it comes to a bike... especially an FJR... unless it's blue. ;)
Tyler,

Hahaha!! Yes, indeed. The blues are a definite majority... Though, it is a very popular color choice among the metric bikes.

Bokerfork,

No offers yet.... I am sure a lot of folks don't want to mess with it that much.

Highlander,

Did you stay blue or paint?

06 Stayed blue, but I miss my 04 Cerulean color ! :rolleyes:

 
I've got a cracked right upper in Blue ya can have, won't fit, and it's, ummmmm, cracked, but even taped on it'll give that thing some class finally. And speed.

 
I've read your posts, WW; aren't you at least a little skeered that some of that speed comes from riding the fastest color?

Remember what happened when Samson had his locks shorn, that's all I'm sayin'... :blink:

JmDaniel,

Let's hope me power isn't coming from whats on the outside of the fairings B) .

:D

Rads,

As enticing as you make it I will have to pass.

Hahaha!

Little update all,

As I posted... I really like the Black. Even though they are a lot of work to keep clean... My 06 Zx10R was a darky and I loved the look.

I did get one offer to switch, from a non-forum member, but it just didn't work out.... Too much drama for me.

So....

My bike is currently completely naked... I stripped the silver stripes, drained the gas tank, and she goes in for paint

tomorrow.

I like Black... So I am going with a paint match of the 08/09 Raven Black (Thanks to Garauld for the help with the paint info!). Main reason is that if I ever needed replacement plastic.... I could just order it up (without more paint work).

I am keeping my gas tank skirt silver and the rear sub-frame sections silver. I am going to be putting the silver stripes back

on it also (bags and fairing).

So... My bike will be Black with a whole lot of Silver.

WW
