    i LOVE it, you can't see from this pic but the paint has little metalic flakes in it that really set it off,kind of don't like it though. i'm thinking of stripping it down and painting it matte black with the same white pin stripe designs, i have another idea of painting it with wwii theme with the mouth and teeth and all that but i've seen a couple bikes like that and didn't really like the way they turned out. this is my baby and i love hearing what people think of her, so let me know.

    ok
    1.you must be 6'5" like me or have knuckle dragger type arms cause those bars are forward alittle...lol
    2.the tank color reminds me of the 70's
    3.you need a white wall front tire or a black wall rear tire
    4.the exhaust pretty much explains all about the bike.......LOUD
    5.all in all i like it though it doesn't matter what you paint,chop,weld,remove,or install on the bike at the end of the day its still a Yamaha doesn't get much better than that 8) well unless you add XJ after

    PS welcome to the site
