    If you have photoshop or some other photo editor try the changing the colours with it. I was wondering the same thing so I retouched a photo first. Its easier to wince at a picture than at the real thing.

        What a good idea!

        I have adobe photosmart, I'll see if that does it too. I'm thinking of going high gloss black on my tank, side covers and rear cowl to match the panels in my Vetter trunk and bags.

        I'll let you know how I go.

            It's amazing what you can do nowadays. After changing colour on bike was wondering it photoshop could shave a few pounds off the old guy riding it.

                        Hey Strayla,

                        If you have filters on your photsmart just select and area and try to change the hue. That will leave all the details the same but just change the colour.

                            Wilco!

                            I'm also downloading a free photo editor that lets you change colours with an eyedropper!

                                There was a cool French Yellow XS1100 at the Fench rally this year.

                                The Yamaha block pattern looks cool

                                    I'm guessing that the bike in that photo has been laid down. There no chain on it and the timing cover looks sheared off at the bottom. The bike sure looks striped to the bare essentials eh

                                        Ask Kenny Roberts! My XS11TC is yellow; check out my avatar. If you do a paint job like the Factory Yellow & Black RZ350's, you will be my hero.

                                        Cheers,
                                        Warren

                                        P.S. I would suggest painting the back of the seat cowl yellow too; that is the only part that anyone sees on my bike!
                                        Sure it's gonna make some noise, there's GAS exploding in there!
