Yamaha TRX850 Enthusiasts Forum

Hi all.
This pic I've added shows what i've been up to on the rex this year.
Ive decided all the body work is going to be a bright sparkly white, the wheels are going to be black as is the swing arm and rear frame mount.
The bit I'm not decided on is weather to have the frame black or a brighter red.
Any ideas?



Still a lot of work to do to the bike, still a bit rough around the edges and gonna have a full stainless system made for it.

Thanks, Jay

black

x2 for black

Not a bad idea lol

Looks good!

+1 for black. Black. Blaaaacccckkkkk

Definately black, especially with white bodywork (even if it`s minimalist).

Mega,
Cheers fellas, i think i will go for black. That was my initial idea but i just wondered how the red/white would contrast.
Should have it in better shape later next year, but as with all on going projects, it will never be finished........
Jay

Yeah +1 for black. On another tangent, could you show us some more details (piccy's)? I like the look of that rear and the front fairing. What are they off and have you modified them in any way? Very sexy looking lines IMHO

Silver frame looks great, black bodywork would be my vote with R1 tuning fork badges

Hi biker_jay!

... black SUCKS!

(my opinion)

Bright greetings from Munich!

Well you would say that with your pukey yellow frame.

The seat is off a late model Speed triple, the light unit is from bandit mania in lincoln. The Speedo is a KOSO item. Had to rebuild the back end to take the seat unit, wasnt too hard. Just refreshed the engine, new rings seals, stuff like that, no real tuning. Not sure if i'm going to get the shock rebuilt or a new one fitted, after all its only a road bike. The forks need new seals from being stood a while.
I rebuild it a while ago and wasnt too happy with the quality so i'm trying again properly. Got a race bike that takes most of my attention so this doesn't get a lot of time, especially over the winter, well, all year really.
Not the best 'special' if you wanna call it that, i just fancy going for the minimalist view this time.
As for the colour, didnt like the black body work and i'm really liking white machines atm. Black/white contrasting, i think it'll work..........

I'll get some close up pics when its looking a bit more presentable. One other thing i'm wanting to stick on is a belly pan, Would love a full length one, anyone know where to get one from? Failing that i'll go for a normal carbon one.

I got one of these left over, tried to fit it with my Akra so it´s cut open in the bottom though...

Yeah that would be just the job
