Forgive me for not taking the time to make the template extra purty, but you get the idea.

I've had so many issues with the clear coat going over Dupli-Color's metallic Smoke Gray, plus Track Days are coming up and I really feel I need to be seen better on the highway.

So, here's the plan - comments, critiques, suggestions? It's basically and updated version of the older Yamaha colors, similar to ThisEndUp's bike and China Racers.

i'd add more black sections on the checkered part , there's too few and they seem too big .

Should the black rectangles all be the same width or large to small?

i love the yam anniversary colors


genereally as the 'rectangles' go from front of bike to back, they get smaller in every dimension..... to form a pseudo triangle

I like the first pic better. It seems to flow more. the bottom one has too many blocks

How are you intending on doing the checkerboard?

That looks PERFECT rage, but I'm a little biased.

I like it Rockso.

My biggest issue is laying out the tape, but I think I have that figured out too. I have a laser level on my camera tripod that I'll use to lay it out. I'll keep everyone posted.

Hope I don't step on your toes, doc, if I borrow some of that scheme...

i like Doc's as well... NOt sure how it will look with the r6 tail you may not have enough profile to hold the paint lines..

I wanted to run that design on mine but couldnt figure out how to work it into the airtech R6 tail and make it look right.
