2012 rebuild - Yamaha YFZ450 Forum : YFZ450, YFZ450R, YFZ450X Forums

yfzracer45 · 11-12-2011, 09:51 PM

I do this every year and ive decided to do something totally different this time around. My bike is the 50th anny bike yellow/black and ive just decided to try something besides yellow.

changing the colors/full suspension/plastics/graphics/bars/nerfs/motor

Bike is NOT completed but its going back together as i get parts from powdercoating.

BEFORE (2008-2010)

pre 2012 (unfinished)

I like the white/yellow/black curious how the new colors look. What subframe is that?

yfzracer45 · 11-12-2011, 10:48 PM

THANKS!! the heat sheild really stands out

Im adding some neon ***** color accents

i wont tell the color until its done because it will really POP and with the plastics/graphics ive got coming will make it all flow perfect im hoping.

BUMP!!

I forgot about this thread and hadnt posted any progress. Its pretty much done just waiting on my fox float evol GEN2 front shocks. I will purchase graphics shortly and post a final pic.

The green is so bright the pics really knock it down. It flourscent green powdercoat from columbia coatings.

Looks good! Who are you getting to do your graphics?

SuperCrew · 12-24-2011, 04:12 PM

Hey man what kinda seat is that your running kinda favors a SDG?

bbcmudtruck · 12-24-2011, 04:23 PM

Way to think outside the box! Thats got to be the first time I've ever seen those color combos put together! Looks good

mryfz450se · 12-25-2011, 09:58 AM

how long are the arms?

'05 YFZ Racer · 12-25-2011, 01:42 PM

That would look sweet even without graphics. I would leave it alone graphics wise.

you know ive been thinking of that myself. Im def.getting DFR fender grips and a TRP sparkle hood and its on the way now

'05 YFZ Racer · 12-25-2011, 03:10 PM

That would be sweet. I think it would look better without graphics and I will be taking my graphics off soon and running bare white plastics.

yfzracer45 · 12-25-2011, 03:19 PM

Only thing that would keep me from running no graphics would be the dirt stains after a race id have to scrub it with a SOS pad

yfzracer45 · 12-25-2011, 03:20 PM

I want to find someone who is decently good at photoshop and do a project on the first pic ^^ and make the yellow plastics white and the yellow graphic accents green.

'05 YFZ Racer · 12-25-2011, 05:18 PM

I've never had a problem with it staining as long as it is kept clean. I'm looking at PoliSport front fenders with detachable peices for the race cut look.
