Nice bike man! Do you have your subframe lowered? It looks like it was lowered. I did that to mine too.

i would do...

Blue - plastics
Blue - Frame/subframe
Black - Bumpers/nerfs
Gold - a-arms
Gold - swingarm
Gold - stem
gold - rims
with a blue graphic kit.

it would look ballin.

Brown, lol, a nice translucent brown. You would blend in with the track too. Stealthy passes.

haha not a fan of brown unless i do the 250r retro look :) !


Heres my plan !

Frame - Bright orange
A-arms - Bright orange lowers , White uppers
Swingarm - White
Stem - White or Bright orange
Plastics - White
Graphics - Bright orange Spastic Designs
Hood - Gen X Bright orange if i can find one
Seat Cover - Spastic Bright orange sides

No one steal this idea haha

That actually sounds pretty cool. I bet spastic could work up some pretty sweet blue/gold/black graphics.

Yeah hate to tell the guy a couple posts above me, but I'm bringing back my old Yama-bomb colors with Candy Apple Red frame/Blue plastics, lol. I saw what Roostar said and wanted to scream NO!!! There's only so much you can do to be completely unique.

GenX was bought out, and basically now folded. New owner isn't doing anything. Alot of talk, but nothing in return. Tiger Racing Products (TRP) is really making some awesome stuff. They're designing a new hood for the 450R as well as coming out with stuff for the KTM and YFZ-R. They'll do any color you want. Check em out at www.RideTRP.com

Here's a shot at next year's scheme. My old Yama-bomb...

your mechanic told you there is not enought room to put a jb swinger on your bike :huh sounds like you need a new mechanic

get a baldwin, jb, or houser airbox riser and you should be fine, if there wasnt room to lower the subframe, people wouldnt do it, no matter what brand swinger they have
