Thanks to richardsracingmad for putting up the pics for me. The bike was plain blue when I got it, not too my liking and I know a lot you guys out there do like the 'No Colour' look. Everyone to their own .... Must say that the XT looks nice with or without colour, as the style of the bike itself looks good. I do prefer my bike now that it has some graphics on it though. Thanks to Ranni for his basic design, who a friend of mine took on board and turned into what you see today.

I have almost but got rid off the engine juttering at low revs now, by fitting stage 1 and 2 filters, the Kev fuel mod and an Arrow exhaust system. Still need to play around with the fuel mod a bit more to get the best out of it since fitting the exhausts though. The bike feels so much better now, why Yamaha never did this ??

Anyway, hope you like the pics.

yes...I love the graphics.

Just to add my input.... mine is all black, no logos and i have silver rim tape. i also thought that my bike was lacking in the looks department (hence the rim tape trial) but i have now decided that i do not like the bling bling posseur thing and i am taking the rim tape off. my bike is black and dirty (like my women :S ) and you know, i quite like it that way.

Stealth look, I like it.

I have finalised on the blue panels and white reflective rim tape. I am leaving it as that as I dont want it in your face etc. I was put off changing to black by a comment Kev offered where the black shows the scratches easy so in the spirit of not being frightened to actually use my bike I am keeping with my favourite colour blue.

I appreciate all input. It helps taking from peoples experience as it is saving me time/money/effort. Money being the most important as I have all the time in the world for talking anything XT!

Well I have had an orange 07, a white 08 and I now have the blue 11 with the gold wheels which I think looks really great!!!!
