I really have too much time on my hands.

I love my bike but its lacking in the looks department. Seriously considering going all black with red or blue rim tape. I love Yamahas in blue but I dont know, it looks flat to me. I have added some photos, 1 real 4 mock ups.

Let me know your thoughts in a post and vote.

If I just change the rim tape we are looking at less than a tenner, if I do the plastics its going to cost �137 plus rim tape.

Blue panels - red tape...no
Black panels - blue tape...no

The others could work, can't really tell from a photoshop.

Here's my vote...

Sorry...had to do it :D

Cheers mate, appreciate the input. Your bike is one of the ones inspiring me. I'm not into stickers and Yamaha decals are truly shocking to buy so the clear panel look is the only way.

there was no White and Red option...so I went Black with Red...tis nearly as good.

I have two bicycles in white, I am not subjecting myself to that on the XT! Yes white is stunning in the flesh so to speak but a bit to clinical for me I think. I prefer the pain of a black bike!

I am waiting to see what others state before I make my choice. I am my own man but as I cannot seem to make my mind up I thought I would throw it out there to push me.

Currently erring on the low cost option of blue panels with white tape. Hardly any work, and even less spend. Thats not to say the work and spend is a hurdle its not but I have been known to throw my money away!

Black and red for me

My personel is the blue and blue. But the bike does look cracker with or without it

Guys, thanks for the input, as I say I really have too much time on my hands. After sleeping on it I think for the moment I am leaving it as it is, I may add a sticker or two to it to lift it a little but other than that I may save my cash for other goodies.

PCIII on route to me so I can put a better map on it. New front disc about to be ordered to sort that out and ride ride ride!

I may wait till winter before I get the next few things done.

You might like to place some discreet white logos on tank and headlight panels:
