Can it be? Project movement now that the 100+ degree temps are apparently gone? Amazing.

A taste of a tank with some Tasty Nuts that color-match the new paint job.

The odd bobbles in the paint are reflections and flash flair.

With all the respect and love I can possibly muster after a 15 hour day, I tip my hat to you and add

ABOUT ******* TIME!!!

:****:

 
The main problem with that "artists rendering" is that it leaves a big area in the middle silver and that the paint is too flat.

Your tank is gorgeous and I can't wait to see it in all it's glory. Just checked this thread out and need to read it from the beginning! I am f'ing green with envy. Way to go!! :clapping:

 
Here's just a hint of the changes that are coming.
Mark, that is absolutely spectacular! I can't wait to see the whole bike.

When will Yamaha finally get the message?

Roger, somehow I knew the red FJR would get your attention...jus' sayin'
Yup! The day the new red FJR's finally do hit US shores I'm gunna be in big trouble. :dribble:

I still have my little red FZ1, but that little thing called "pain" keeps me from riding very much. When the time comes I can no longer ride at all they just as well go ahead and bury me. :angry2:

Years ago (1986 to be exact), my riding buddies & I were talking about the new, then, C10 Concours (Heart of a Ninja) and I said, "Guys, they're just too big." Also, in '86, they only came in silver (C.O.G. people call it: 'let-me-go grey' vs 'arrest-me red').

1 year later I happened into my local Kawi dealer's showroom and stood next to the new for '87 "Candy Persimmon Red" Concours -- my knees got weak. Ya' know what? -- it wasn't too big, after all.... :eek: :)
