Yamaha TRX850 Enthusiasts Forum

Finally getting close to finishing project TRX. Started in 2007! Everythings built now. Just needs a final strip and paint. Hoping to get her on the road next year.

terrific!

that R6 tail end is becoming quite a popular conversion - probablies because it works so well for bike.

V nice what colours are you going to paint it? hopefully getting rid of purple wheels?

It looks good in white, and it'd look even awesomer with white wheels

Dunno about the paint scheme. I really liked Honks Marlborough design but would feel too much of a copy cat if I went that route. maybe a red/white speedblock would look good with black frame, swingarm and wheels?

red bodywork works well with a silver frame.
perhaps polished rims with a subtle gold centre a la '50s ferrari?
cheers

White wheels and white bodywork for that 'just delivered race bike' look-

um i dont mind the purple wheels
why not go for the red and white that the factory GP bikes had in the US this year.

good looking bike by the way

Mid 90s red and white, with yellow number boards could be the way to go
