Re: WIP: Yamaha R1 Tuner
Yes, perhaps you're right. I had another comment on Mautomobile that the yellow color made the bike look old... Leaving the light clear should as you say also have made the CF more visible, so perhaps I should have left the glass unpainted
Swingarm has been painted today together with the frame. Pics tomorrow. Joel

Re: WIP: Yamaha R1 Tuner
Yep, tanned seat it will be my friend. Thinking of putting some CF pads on the tank too.

Re: WIP: Yamaha R1 Tuner
I think your tinted head lights go with your color scheme and I think once the rest of it is together it will all make sense.
Look good to me so far, Mark |

Re: WIP: Yamaha R1 Tuner
Did quite a bit of work today but most smaller details that won't be visible until further ahead in the WIP. What I'm about to show are the painted frame and swing arm. I chose to do both in flat black. I've used Tamiya laquer spray, wich I emptied from the can and sprayed through air brush. I did the Alclad gold and CF on the frame first, masked off and then sprayed the black. I think the filling of the frame fell out very good although it was a real pain to get it evened out as the shape of the frame is quite complex.
I've added some washers and a few rivets, none of wich is very visible in these photos. Swing arm has got some brake line fastners wich I made out of hex rod and cut in shape. Hole shabang is then painted flat black. I was going for full CF on the mud guard but I've stripped the paint and will do it metallic grey with some CF areas. /Joel

Re: WIP: Yamaha R1 Tuner
Coming along fantastic Joel, love all the extra little bits and pieces on this, really making it pop....
I love the idea that because this is a custom build, none of us know exactly what it'll look like until we see those final pics.... well done. Adam. |

Re: WIP: Yamaha R1 Tuner
Took a picture of the painted seat today for a friend (it was he who suggested the color actually) and I think it will be pretty good. Seat looks quite dead now though, don't you think? I have to make it come to life with some pencil or crayon powder or something. Or just make it darker (it looks lighter than it actually is in the photo)

Re: WIP: Yamaha R1 Tuner
Hi, really great build so far. I really like all the little details you've done and every part looks amazing. As for the seat, it could do with a little more depth...so maybe giving it a grainy texture? Or darker somehow.

Re: WIP: Yamaha R1 Tuner
Hey Joel
Yeah i love the cowl and the tank fuel I think that the seat is a new innovation that can looks good, maybe with an effect like leather (red) should be great Roca. |

Re: WIP: Yamaha R1 Tuner
I'm planning on darkening the seat. I know it looks kind of pink on the picture but it is a mix of dark brown, white and flat flesh. I think I'll redo it and stay with dark brown and white.
Thanks for your comments. J
