Still waiting for my front fairings but here is the latest update picture. Should get my fairings back this week, then the silver-to-black high Micron will go on. Just sold my old bike on the weekend, now I'm dying to get the R1 on the road.

 

[Swedie]

isn't that tank protection a bit too far up? looks that way

anyhow, looks like it can become a really sweet poser bike

do get us more pics when you're done.

 

[Sex-C_R1]

I agree the sticker was put on a bit high. I wonder if I can peel it off to reposition it without losing its adhesion?

 

[Swedie]

you'd probably have to use some kind of glue. it won't stick perfectly again.
make sure the glue is not too strong so it peal off the paint on the tank when you take it off next time.

I just got done putting on my silver to black micron. It looks sweet as hell!!!! I took pictures but they do it justice. What are you doing to your fairings???

 

[Sex-C_R1]

To answer your question, I'm having my whole front end doubled out of fiberglass, then painted to match my avatar. Post the pics of your Micron. I won't have mine on for a little while.

The rear stickers are chrome with a black drop shadow. It will match the side -big- "R1" stickers. "YZF" sticker will be black, small "R1" will be metallic red (not chrome red like original) and the bottom "Yamaha" will be white. I recently designed a logo for a local business here in Ottawa and made the logo for my windshield. I used several different layers of vinyl with different colours. I think it looks sweeet, I'll post some pics probably tonight if I have the time. I just got THE phone call, my fairings should be ready for Thursday. Now I just have to drive 7 hours to get them, then get them painted. Should be able to posts pics of the bike pretty soon.

Let me know when everything is done, i'd like to see the bike in person and we can go for a ride!

 

[Sex-C_R1]

You'll know when it's ready, I'll post pictures.

Here is the logo I was talking about. You should really see this in the sunlight, the metallic colour is so nice. Anyways, judge for yourself, taste is different for all of us.

 

[Sex-C_R1]

Here's what the logo looks like on paper. I tried to match the two-tone theme with the vinyl.

That chrome R1 sticker like the blues have looks really good! Can't wait to see it finished. Is that sticker you had made for a club or something...

:yesnod

 

[Sex-C_R1]

It's not a club.... it's an automotive shop. They modify cars, not only with aftermarket parts, but with mechanical inventions.... Have you ever seen an extended 6 wheel Suzuki Sidekick??? I'll be designing their web site soon, I'll post the address when it's available. I'll try and get some nice pics of modified cars as well.

Yet another R1 that will make my bike look plain . Looking forward to the pics though .

 

[Sex-C_R1]

Hey ny2nj,

It will not make your bike look plain, mine will just be different. Everytime I buy something, whether it's a car or motorcycle, I like it to be unique. I'll spend some time and dollars to make it that way, but it doesn't mean the stock ones are plain. Here's a pic of my car... it's just a Saturn but modified it so it's to my liking.

 

[Sex-C_R1]

I always had Ninjas and this is my first Yamaha. Before buying it, I was really in a dilemma between that and the Honda RC-51. Of course I was gonna change it to look my way. Here's the colour scheme it would have been.

 

[NY2NJ]

Some people are gifted with creativity. Unfortunately, I ain't one of those people :lol. That Saturn looks hot. Where'd you get the rims? Have you thought about selling your bike design ideas like tricktape? I like what you did with the RC51. Subtle enhancements that don't spoil the bike's already good looks.

 

[Sex-C_R1]

Thanks ny2nj,

The Momo Ferrarri rims, I purchased when I had my old MR2. It just happened to fit my Saturn.... lucky me. I just changed the colour of the center rim from red to green to match the Saturn colour. I never thought of selling my design ideas, they're not really that original. The RC-51 design was taken from the European white colour scheme, but I kept the silver from the American model (and slight modifications)..... nothing out-of-the-ordinary.

 

[Sex-C_R1]

Here was my desktop wallpaper before I bought the R1. It was on my computer screen for the longest time, trying to decide. I think I made the right choice. :jump
