I just cant decide whether to go for white or gold chrome 'YAMAHA' stickers or round tuning forks decal?
Going for the 70's trail bike look. Replacing the seat with a shortened version.Smaller headlamp & single clock.

Can you make your bike look like the one in this picture

I think the white YAMAHA on the tank would look just fine.

Great colour; I've always admired the way you set up your bikes..............functional, clean look

I prefer the tuning forks without the circle.

 

[Scrambled]

What are those tires ? I like the white Yamaha letters or a white tuning fork in a circle for your bike .

 

[XS1961]

Thats one of the photos on 'tinternet that inspired me..
Thanks RG .

Tyres are 4.50x18 Pirrelli MT43's.

White it is then,
Now, plain YAMAHA 120mm long or tuning forks... ?

Just sprayed another set of tinware in metallic 'bergundy' & a white flash - a la Triumph ... Torn between this & the green...

You need a set on these on your side covers...................

 

[XS1961]

Hell , yeah! Nice.You selling sets?

 

[resto]

I just happen to have few sets laying around. IMHO, set 3 is the best of the bunch, but sets 1,2,6,7,and 8 are also available. Sets 7 and 8 have the smaller fonts on the insert. None are perfect but good from a couple of feet away.

They presently are curved to follow the contour of the Standard side covers. The dimensions are close to the real Triumph ones, about 7 inches by 1.25 inches. Holes drilled for mounting, but if you don't feel like drilling your side covers you could glue on some screw heads and mount the badges with double sided tape.

"Off Season" price (i.e. 'til the snow melts) is $10 a pair plus shipping.

BTW, I like the style of your mufflers. That is what's going on my bike when it comes time for replacement.
