FJRToms altered 2008

[Honzo]

Still don't see how to get the image to show up here yet. Anyway, I modified FJRToms new bike to have a black tank bezel and removed the Yam insignia and the decal too. This is how I might have mine if I ever get the darn thing. Thought y'all might like to see it.

In Photobucket, click on the box that says IMG code then copy/paste that whole line here. Done. That's it.

Mee Likie!! Man that looks awesome (of course the black looks great anyway) Too Kool B)

 

[FZ/FJR Mike]

Very sinister looking!!! :devil:

Holy Batmobile, I like it. :clapping:

I would like to see that in flat black, and ditch the only shiny parts left, the mufflers, for some carbon fiber cans!

Now that I see this, I'm glad they kept the tank piece silver.

My '04 will be for sale soon.

I like that a lot.

I'm also thing about putting a big silver stripe across my bike, from the tank to the fairing. Then put the letters "FJR" in black, in the middle of the stripe. I'd photoshop this but I can't use image processing software worth a damn.

Hey it's a Yamaha, it's almost on topic :blink:

I think it looks good in black, but after owning a black bike and a black truck, I don't want another "always dirty looking" machine. I ditched the out of place, goofy looking reflectors off the side of my bags as well as the decails (like in your photoshop). Really smooths out the bags and the tank.

I know, Iknow, we all want to be as visible as possible, but if those reflectors are the only things stopping someone from T-Boning me, I don't have much of a chance in the first place. I did put the Black 3M reflector tape on the backs of my bags. Someone following me at night would have to be blind to not see the rear of my bike.

I'm thinking the fasteners that hold the body work need to be replaced/powder-coated/painted black to complete the look.

Looks good. Lose the bag and fork reflectors, and it's getting there. Now imagine that all-black machine with polished wheels!

And I bet the black ain't much worse for looking dirty than the '05 Galaxy Blue that I never wash.

I'd like to do the same treatment to my '05, deleting the silver piece with a matching blue. But I probably won't. I don't notice the silver when I'm riding.

Speaking of which, squeezed in about 80 miles last Saturday before the weather turned cold and wet.

Fixed :-D

I'd also like to see the luggage reflector gone and that little plastic "Yamaha" strip replaced with a LED bar as a running light of sorts. Some on the front end too. I'll play with the pic some more maybe and we'll envision together and give the man all his customization ideas on a platter.

 

[FJRottie]

I prefer the tank liner and this it without reflectors or decals (quick ****** job on the front).

Now that's what I want Santa to bring me for Xmas!

Add a little gold:

yeah, to hard to get the entire wheel gold , but you get the idea. Guess everything else that is silver aluminum should get gold anodized too..............

Ok guys, I don't think the gold wheels would work out that well.....

both chops are courtesy of honda-tech

but in all seriousness, I don't think it would work. Too much sliver on the bike:

comments on the first pic: "Any you ho's wanna ride on my Baaad Cherr-ee-ette?"

Exhaust is awesome in the second pic. As there anyone that can actually do that for real? Powdercoating? And what program do you use on these pics? MSPAINT is all I know and to do the first change to FJRToms bike took a good ten minutes and it's only good enough for the concept IMO.
