Jfundo Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 I can't tell if that color is horrendously ugly or awesomely ugly. Either way, rock on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With regard to the original Copper Red I 100% agree, the almost red and the fact that it wasn’t an FJR is the only thing I couldn’t get around. was actually a little pumped to get back to a chain tho. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the black on the rest of the bike as a contrast and the yellow broken up into smaller parts front and back, it actually doesn't look that bad. 1 ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporting Member knyte Posted September 5 Supporting Member Share Posted September 5 ...a polarizing paint scheme it seems. It might not be something I'd do. That said, it works somehow, and the more I look at it, the more I like it.

Premium Member 2and3cylinders Posted September 5 Premium Member Share Posted September 5 But does he have matching gear, including helmet, air vest & gloves? If so, then IMO, it'd be a SUPER package going down the road with a headlight & brake light modulator, and a BrakeFree helmet light!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnmark101 Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 Personally, I really like the color. Makes you more conspicuous to others on the road which is a good thing for safety. 1 There is nothing like spending a day riding with friends in the grip of a shared obsession.

PhotoAl Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 How do you like the BrakeFree helmet light. I've tried in the past to buy one but couldn't get one. Maybe a good addition to my helmet for my scooter - if I ever get permission to rid it again! Had to go in for my 70 year overhaul. Got a new valve and a new section of my aorta. No clue what restrictions come with the new aorta section, this was my second valve but 1st time going thru the sternum. See the surgeon Monday so will see.

I got mine a couple 3 years ago and it adds some weight but my modular helmets are heavy anyway so I don't really notice, as I have a 18-inch Judo/wrestling neck. Holds a charge well still and seems effective. I have mounting brackets on 3 helmets but applied peel & stick Velcro for added security. I also won't ride without my Hit-Air... I'm an ATGATT gear whore 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
