How about a red Tracer GT ?

[redfjniner]

Where did you find the 2015 Red as "Lava Red".  I have always thought it to be "Candy Red" same as the 2014 FJR's.  Watch this: 

Yamaha Color Chart

 
Honestly, Lava Red is the only color I have ever heard it called. 
 
Maybe its just what Aftermarket Paint Color is called.  To make it even more confusing, Color Rite lists it as Deep Red Metallic for both FJ and FJR.
 

And if you dig way down on Yamaha's color codes they also have a "918 DRMK Deep Red Metallic K", just like Color Rite's.  Confusing!

From this article... "The 2015 Yamaha FJ-09 will be offered in two colors: Matte Gray and Candy Red. In Europe, the color options are Matte Gray, Lava Red and Race Blu." I've also seen it referred to as Deep Metallic Red up here in Canada... article.  

This is entirely in line with Yamaha's confusing, irrational, perplexing product names for the bike itself - FJ-09/ MT-09/ Tracer, etc.   Keep it simple, folks! 
FWIW - it was always Lava Red here in Oz.

Here is what you get from a simple copy and paste of the FZ09 front wheel onto the FJ09 photo... black FZ09 forks and Candy Red fender. The color match looks good to me.

VERY nice!  I like it.  I see a red front fender in my future.

Like the look. Something to set my 2015 apart from all the other 2015 Candy Red FJ-09's. Well until I met up with 1 of Y'all, LOL! And at 116 bucks, a cheap Farkle! Let me add this to the list, mcruise, heated grips, front forks by Matt, Penski rear shock, radar detector, Candy Red Front Fender. Not in order of implementation.

I just went to the Yamaha UK site to confirm this monstrosity is indeed the new color. It's hideous, what the hell were they thinking?
 
There's a been a trend of North America getting colors a year after they come out in Europe, so I'm hoping we get matte blue and not this mess.

In Canada, we don't get the red color for the Tracer GT, but they decided to spring a red regular Tracer on us, complete with red front fender.

Some blue 3M painters tape, your time to pull the parts and prep them, and then re-install them...
 
And two cans of spray paint.. Red metallic and clear. Done, and you can paint the rear "fender" hugger that should have come red from Yamaha too.
 
I'm going to be different. Painting the front fender, side panels and some after market hand guards Plasti Dip Orange. Yes, orange. Very bright, nice to see, and it's not so different from the red 2015 I have that it looks weird. (Okay, weirder than it could be?)
 
I don't want a low profile motorcycle. I want to be seen.

Did anyone pull the trigger on the red FZ09 fender yet? @betoney, @estell, @tktplz?? Just looking for confirmation on the paint match to the red 2015 US model FJ... I was debating on a carbon fiber fender, but am now thinking the solid red might be a better option.

I have not ordered mine yet, I will probably wait a few months.  I just ordered a Scorpion slip-on and next month will sent my suspension in for its 2-year servicing, all other frivolous expenses will wait until after the holidays.
 
 
I checked on the Colorrite website and the '14 FJR, '15 FJ09 and '17 FZ09 are all listed under the same paint code: 0918 Deep Red Metallic K.

It looks like they forgot to paint the rest of it.....:/

I haven't ordered mine yet either. Think I'm doing the Mcruise and heated grip option first, then the front forks, and probably the Rear Shock. That will take me to March and in March we're usually riding the hill country. I'll have to see how farkles go after spring gets here. Love those farkles but like riding trips even more.

The Texas Hill Country? Definitely get the suspension done first, and then head out for a few days shredding around the hill country. A well setup FJ is perfect on those roads.

Certain words just pop out at me when reading a post...  HaHa, just having withdrawls here, its been a week since I have been out rippin' up some twisties.

I have not ordered a red fender yet because I would rather spend the money on Terry's seat. If my black fender gets any sort of damage then it will jump to the front of the line to be replaced by a red fender. I have replaced the red "fairing" on the left side of the tank because it got scratched and bent, so I am willing to replace plastic parts that are slightly damaged. 
My birthday is coming soon and my wife advises me not to spend money before my birthday.
