Fz6 color change suggestions

[trepetti]

Ok, I bet the first color change suggestion will be "don't do it", so let's get that out of the way.

I have an 05 silver/black and I thought I would noodle on other colors. I have the silver engine and frame (which I will not consider changing) along with black wheels (which I would prefer not to). So that leaves fender, fairing, visors, tank and rear handless.

I am about as artistic as a breaker bar, so I thought I would throw this out to the group.

I prefer light colors but I LOVE the Ducati red. If you have done this already then let's see the pics.

Thanks

How secure are you in your manhood?

I'm going to be doing mine in a metallic arctic white. I think the bike would look awesome

Yes it would

I like that lots and would own it, and it reminds me of my Pops Triumph drag bike from the 70's "Purple Panic"
The down side to a bike as unique as that is its very hard to say. It wasn't me boss??

Apparently I am less secure than I originally thought! :rof:

Use plasti dip to figure out what color you like best - it's removable! I'm doing the plastic bits on my Triumph white right now, it's an all black bike.

To second the white bike suggestion, look at the colors on the Datyona 675R

And think about the parts you could go with, red subframe? yeah, that would be pretty sexy...


anyway - I'm also with the camp of changing my color, probably in the coming year. I'm partial to Yamaha Team Blue, (Matte/cream) White (Like the 848Evo color), and the retro yellow and black yamahas, so expect something like that (one of those, probably not all).

There's something magical about a white bike with a black frame. If I had any sort of painting ability, my black '09 would be a white '09.

I agree, there's just something so pure about it. I was VERY sure I was going to get a Ninja 300 with the arctic white but I couldn't find them anywhere. Truth be told, I'd have thrown any dealership my money if they had a white one in stock and you'd have never seen me here... I still have some buyers remorse and still really want to ride one

one more vote for white, and as you can see white bikes are just plain sexy, good luck and def keep us up to date. I also like the pastic dip as to really see if you will like it, although I am not sure how much it would cost to do the whole bike in it

PS, nice find Erci :cheer:

Whatever you do, don't paint it orange.

How about the yellow with retro look?

Saw some thermal paint on a GTR that was cool? Maybe look into that if you wanna do something different.
