I recognize a lot of names here but I am going to introduce myself anyway.
![]() My name is Colleen. I started riding last June. I have a 92 Yamaha FZR which I am currently making mine! I peeled off all of pink and teal stripes so I can put on red stars and I am currently waiting to get my new seat back. ![]() Me...pre-stripe stripping...although I have dark hair now. ![]() I am on what feels like eleventy billion forums right now but I am still learing about bikes and can use all the help I can get. ![]() ![]() |

Thanks for the welcome
I definitely visit some more than others. For sure. I cannot believe what a big difference striping it made! |

I thought about it but I don't think I could handle not having any color on my bike. After seeing how it looks now I will most likely end up with less stars than I was planning before I took off the stripes.

![]() My original plan was to do red stripes with a few stars inside the rear "V" stripe. But then someone photoshopped me this... ![]() And that was my plan. Then I found out that just getting red stripes put on without the stars was going to cost me $600! ![]() ![]() Next plan was just to take off the teal and pink and see what condition the paint was in underneath...hoping that no paint would be scratched/peeled/whatever during the removal process. Now I have the all black bike...aside from the damn FZR sticker that still have teal and pink on it ![]() I have also played with the idea of red rim stripes...although unless someone photoshops that for me to see how it looks I am sure I wont do it. All this does not include the suspension work I need/want done, the windscreen I desperately want to replace, and a few other little mods I need/want done. ![]() ![]() |
