Hi guys im new to this forum.

I just wanted to put up some pictures of my 06 R6.. Its just been finished painting now and what a bastard it was too.. 40hours went into painting and prepartion of all the fairings and panels.. Overall im happy how it turned out.. **** FINISHED PHOTOS Pg 2****

The bike has been custom painted Candy ORange down the whole one side of the bike and the other side a strong white pearl from Subaru colour range..
The paint job also has silver metallic tribal graphics painted into it and then Yamaha symbol stickers placed on top to go under the clear when finished.
It also has blue pearled Skull 'ghosted' graphics on the lower sides, (not done in the photos i had to leave).

Im yet to put the bike back together but will in a few days. The pictures of the parts arent finished and still needed 3 coats of clear on top.. Anyways a little taste of it till i put up whole finished photos and more detailed ones..

Cheers :toocool:

Crap, my bad guys i forgot cause i posted on another forum as well..

Here you, only have taken pictures at night whenit was done, havent had time to take it out in the sun.. you cant see the detail and ghosted skulls in the pearl but you get the idea of what she looks like.. im just enjoying riding it again :) cheers.

Seat is still to be trimmed in black leather, the red looks crap against the orange..

Haha, yeah it is, well if i "accidently" fly by a cop and he sees the bike is white, then chase me il pull over turn the bike to the orange side and pretend im doing something.. lol. They would never know..

Im still waiting for my clear flush indicators :(

Dont worry about the skulls in the light, you should see how strong and deep the colours are.. looks unreal. Different for sure, and i think the only one in australia divided half-half and in this colour scheme.. I may be wrong, but never seen one.

Is the undertail all white or is it divided? and how are you gonna go about aftermarket parts... you'd have to get two different colors instead of a 1 colored set :dunce:

The undertail is divided white/orange but the opposite and has gloss black just behind the number plate.. It breaks it up, like at the front under the little parker light its the opposite.. Will get better photos soon..

Aftermarket parts going on this bike is just the indicators, maybe a pipe.. Its good how it is, it turns heads and has enough power for me.. for now :)

Bike is orange, this was taken with my camera phone and it was dark...

That is a very custom look man! Reminds me of an R1 I saw two years ago at a bike show, think it was the BozBro's bike or something like that! Nice bike again and looking forward to some more pics!

very different... i think it would look better with a black seat.. and a smoke double bubble.. and the outer long charcoal fairing... and some black pass pegs and rear sets, none the less u did a good job it is unique.. but the colors just seem to clash for me

Bike has a black leather seat now.. retrimmed the red one today, letting it sit before it gets put on..

Thats your honest opinion and fair enough, some may not like it, others like the idea.. In the end its how i wanted it, maybe in a year if i still got it ill paint it different again.. Cars and Bikes, it never ends...

^^ haha, thanks for comments guys..

The orange is very strong in sunlight, the bike would look sweet all white, or all orange, as some have said, its not their thing but different..

Ill probably end up painting it again one day somethiing completely different.. Maybe a racey theme, i like the FIAT R6 on the forum, that'd be sweet..

My mate did a shoot for me the other day, pics look sweet.. Here's a unfinished sample.. Yes it was nightime.. Still looks kool.. And you can see billet mirrors on it now, black leather seat.

Very nice picture. I'd like to see more from the shoot :popcorn:

The bike kind of reminds me of Two Face :D
But the two toned works well for it, indeed!
PS: switching from red to black seat works so much nicer too :)

I like it alot........but do yourself and all of us a favor and get rid of those damn passenger pegs, especially since it looks like you only ride with the seat cowl and not the actual seat....

Btw guys, it's not "tribal" it's pinstriping. Go to a hot rod show.

But the underside of the tail section HAS to be reversed. Looks dumb that way.

The color scheme IS growing on me and making me think. The front windscreen with the pinstripping and logo REALLY set it off. Also go back and do the rear fender.

The standard mirrors dont look good against the paint, these look way better, i reckon bar end mirrors would look sweet.

I rode it today to work at my house :) Sun brought out the orange perfectly.

That link doesnt work for me.
Im guessing its the Two Bro's R1. And yes i did see that, but that bike has multi colours on it, on its white side its got the american flag or something, and green on the orange side.. i cant remember.

Originally my bike was supposed to be painted all white, but i saw that and my mate mixed a crazy orange.. So i thought why not.

I actually put it for sale, and it sold straight away :toocool:

New bike soon :)

looks awesome only suggestions i would have would be to get a smoked windscreen, keep the black seat, loose the mirrors and pin stripe the wheels orange on the white side and white on the orange side.

again bike looks crazy to bad i cant see it in person
