Warchild Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 W00t! Today I got back my bodywork from my painter - now for the tedious re-install job. Also still waiting for the 3-D chrome "Tracer" emblems from Yamaha. The original ones get destroyed when removing them for painting. I had him do the windscreen at the same time - won't bother posting that, due to the angst that windshield discussions always produce. 😃 Might be a good candidate to post on the FB groups, though.... they love pointless arguments like that. 🙄 5 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Warchild Posted April 17, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 17, 2021 All reassembled... looks like a Night Train! (Guns-n-Roses reference) 😆 Every 2020 Tracer I see is the same orangy-metallic paint; I like this dark theme much better. 🔥 🔥 🔥 And check out how the aux lamps look in this quarter-front shot, all tucked away nice and tidy. This project came out better than expected: I am not quite done with the cosmetics here, but I am definitely done for now - it's time to ride! Got a 500-mile trip tomorrow over White Pass, WA. HWY 12 is an awesome ride when there are no rockslides closing the highway. 👍 11 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
draco_1967 Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 That looks great! Now just get rid of those pumpkin turn signals 😄 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NormR Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Very nice Warchild! You should black out the fork legs to get the complete look 👍🏻 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now just get rid of those pumpkin turn signals 😄 Got a set of Rizoma turn signals inbound, but that are destined for the rear of the bike. Really leaning towards leaving the pumpkins on front. Yes, the pumpkins are gnarley and definitely look dated, but they do seem to work well for conspicuity - and we have a lot of brain-dead cagers around here; I need every advantage riding amongst them. 😕 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That touch of gold has never looked as classy as this. It makes the black even deeper. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HWY 12 is an awesome ride when there are no rockslides closing the highway. 👍 I like it. I wouldn't even put the Tracer name back on. I like my gray and black 2015. After so many black bikes in the past I kind of wish I'd found a red 15 used though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporting Member texscottyd Posted April 17, 2021 Supporting Member Share Posted April 17, 2021 I think one more ride & quick bleed, and the Galfer brake line install will be done. Honestly, it wasn’t nearly as difficult as I feared... 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member 2and3cylinders Posted April 18, 2021 Premium Member Share Posted April 18, 2021 That is up only isn't it? Without the blipper module for down too? With a McCruise you can't use a quick shifter at all :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
