Well I don't have any pictures, but I think that would look sweet PC'd Yamaha Blue.

ive always loved white on white with black accents (swing arm/ arms ext) but the problem is it is probably hell to keep clean. Id go with a metallic blue brighter then Yamaha blue IMO if you don't want the maintenance of white.

It's honestly not that bad. The only spots that can be a pain are where your knees or boots rub. That's why I got a graphics kit that covered most of those spots. I was worried about the exhaust getting stained but it still looks pretty new.

Nice warrior. X2 Candy Blue goes well with white plastics and silver for a clean look.

Mr. Clean's Magic Eraser is great on white plastics and powdercoating!

This is emerald green. The frame looks darker than it actually is. You can see the true color in the bead rings.

wow you guys/girls have some nice color schemes. I wanted to stay away from the blue because thats the stock frame color....think I might try white on white or maybe an orange or green.... I'm so confused...

It's funny because it's true.

I know I shouldn't encourage you but........I don't think I have ever told you how much you crack me up.

I've come full cirlce on you since I joined here a year and 1/2 ago and the first post I read from you was suggesting land owners to use fishing string to deter tresspassing riders. :D

I like the candy blue w/white fenders..... how ever my brother had a YFZ that had a orange frame w/white fenders, then had candy blue accents (valve cover, water pump cover, engine mount brackets, master cylinder cover, rear brake block off plate, ect.... It looked really good.

Yeah a lot of times it's because I've told him to go look at something stupid on here lol. Are you gonna go with a seat cover too? Because I have a friend that has started up a business called Mototrim and he does some niiiiiiiice stuff. As soon as I have the cash, I'm getting rid of my Quadtech for one. Here's a few he's done

I don't think he does but I'm sure you can send him your seat and he'll make it. He's done seats for everything from a trx90 to a pitbike.

How bout Candy Purple frame, white a-arms and swinger. we were building it but it never got together. It would have looked amazing. plus you dont see it often.
