Haha i may have to take you up on that.

I am getting ready to do powder on the frame and wheels after i finishing fixing my little problem with the tail.
Then putting the new 6speed in tranny in the engine and repainting the engine.

Then just repaint the bike in a sort of tribute scheme that is simular to either the scheme we have now, or the yamaha yellow black.

Are you going to have the graphics printed or are you going to paint them on?

I'm going for the full laminated decal set to keep it original. Tank decals will be lacquered as usual...

I'm using a custom paint company called Moto Paint in the UK. After speaking to them about the pearlescent paint they told me they had a supplier of the original pattern laminated decals... They are on order as we speak..

Cheers, I was pleasantly surprised how well it went. As there was no tank all I could hear was the induction roar from the air box :headbang:
