Red Dragon on Black 2009 FJR

[jimyman]

Okay ; I know some of you won t care for this ; but to each his own. I live near Deal Gaps [Tail of the Dragon ] in NC. A Great place to ride. Always like Dragons since I was 7 years old --LONG TIME AGO-LOL Any way got a Artist to paint me a Dragon on gas tank and he also did some pen striping for me too. Being that I like RED and BLACK ; had to get some red on my Blk. RJR. The artist is call Scarecrow in Bryson City NC

Pretty cool. The most important thing, you like it and it has meaning to you.

Wow. Very different, to say the least! I'd like to see a better pic of the pinstriping on the front fender.

If I were you, I'd black out the silver bits (frame, exhaust mount, front forks, etc.).

Looks great, should have put the red pin around the back rim too.

I'm glad you like, but it's not my cup of tea. I have a black '08 and I think it looks great as is.

I like it. Had a slightly smaller Viking dragon in mind for my 2009.

The solid red side panels remind me of the color scheme of the Blk/Red Honda CBRs of the late 80s or early 90s.

 

 

Like the dragon and pen striping. Cool to see custom paint work on a FJR, given all most all are left stock.

 

(Why is this? Limited color choices, and no graphic options from Mama Yamaha. FJR riders are typically more seasoned “cough” with a little deeper pockets to afford paint work.)

I have an 09 and I have done my own farkling to make it unique to me; such as adding an Adaptiv Radar, Bagstar Tank Cover & Bag, Givi Top Case and some white accent lights to give it some bling appeal at night. I think the black and red paint scheme is beautiful on your bike (please do the back rim!) and the dragon makes it uniquely yours which is more than most of us can say about Yamaha's inability to come up with some fresh paint schemes; we won't even discuss a newly designed FJr!

 

[DELETE-PLEASE]

That's some great artwork. I like fantasy/mythological stuff too and that's a very nice gas tank!

Better to be seen ; interesting

The dragon on the tank is the bomb!

 

[5lbtrout]

I really like the red accent in the black bike. It adds a nice touch.

The dragon? No so much.
