Just been at home bored so figured I'd do some photoshopping on the pics from the MotoTT trackday to see if i could come up with a new paint job i like. Wanted to keep the bike blue so looked at different race replica jobs and the one i decided to copy was the 2006 R6 Factory race colours. See pics attached.

What do you think? Got any better ideas for decals to go over a factory yamaha blue paint job?

Haha, yeh got that in mind. Only thing is on my model it comes up a lot higher and doest look quite right, though the 01/02 'Champions Edition' model does have it. Also the number panel on the back.

Before you get new decals and exhaust systems shouldnt you pay back bruce since you owe him a fair wad of money, not to mention the fact he gave you a wicked deal and he has no money him self.

A bit of white on the tail would be good too I think.

Looks Great! Have you thought about altering the tail too. Making it slightly shorter, and more pointy.
You can do that it Photoshop too, just to see how it would look. Get a good pic of your tail section, either from the rear, or off the side and from the top, so you can see the whole of the section, then using PS, cut it out, and slightly shrink it.and also bring in the sides. Did it on a SV650 forum. Not got the pic here, but it looked really good. the guy who's bike it was, was impressed. I'm from the UK, and coming over there soon. Have a good one.

This is for over summer when i have the money to get someone to paint it and the time to do the prepwork myself. Bruce will have his money before the date he said he needs it by. Just wanted to see what other people thought and to see if they had anything better than this.

When/if it happens i'll have a race tail section with the number board (large white space) on the back.

Why??

It looks mint as it is.

Race tail??? Are you going to race it????

Race components on road bikes are the biggest egotesticle wank factor ever.......
