Paint job

[DanijelTodic]

Hey guys,

Just finished my new paint job! Got some parts painted because i could not look at the silver/blue combination anymore. Way to tacky in my personal opinion.

She a bit dirty on the pictures and the color doesn't get through on picture (it's darker in real life). I added a before picture as well.

What do you think?

That's a really nice paint scheme. I like the stealth look.

I’ve been saying for years if Yamaha would have put a better paint job on the Tenere’s they would have been waaaaay easier to sell.

Did you subdue the wheels, or is it an optical illusion?

I like the new paint scheme but the blue wheels are not for me I’m afraid.

White/Blue/Black....I like it! Reminds me of when Konica / Minolta was the main sponsor for Honda in MotoGP.

Thanks!

I agree! Some of them are just plain ugly! Like mine was. Haha

No it's just dirty. It's the same blue as on the forks.

I agree but i can live with it now the silver is gone. But i would rather have them black.

This was the bike i rode one before buying the S10. Miss the looks but not the driving experience.

I wish we lived closer. I'd switch out my black ones with you in a heartbeat. I love the blue. I also love SkunkWorks' gold ones too though.

That would be awesome! I just looked the gold ones up. Really nice!

Very nice work !
Has the looks of a military bike hiding rocket launcher in the hood for bad behaving car drivers... lol

If i may ask what's that upper shield bolted at the top of the windshield ?

P.S. Nice touch on the blue rubber at the gear level

Haha. Thank you!

That shield is my homemade spoiler. Calms the wind and prevents buffeting. Something like the MRA X-screen.

Bought the X-screen. Figured out that it's very effective and sold it to make my own for a fraction of the money.

Being opaque doesn't cause any problems? I'd run into something.

No not at all. It 'calms' the cockpit a bit. I do look over the screen of course!

Very nice look. I like the choice of the satin gloss
