Posted June 16, 200915 yr As most of you will agree, the early YZF 750 R is a beatiful yet girly coloured machine. Mine is the white with pink flashes here and there. I've seen some pics on the net of the pink bits in red and it makes all the difference. I got a quote from a local spray place at £450 - £900 depending on various scenarios. That is way out of my league. Anyone got any tips. Any direct sticker replacements to go over the pink? Cheers.

June 16, 200915 yr Moderator Use red nail varnish. ...or try your local signwriters, they can make you some vinyl graphics to stick over the pink ones...
June 16, 200915 yr how bout a jacket patch that says "girl bike delivery service" i suppose some patience and a rattlecan are just completely out of the question? seriously. if you prime and sand with 400 grit and paint slowly in thin layers with a decent brand, you can experience good results. also you can use a clear overcoat for that deep rubbed look.
June 18, 200915 yr Dont worry about it just ried and nejoy the bike Some call my bike a girls bike. It dont bother me when iv got me helmet on im happy.
June 18, 200915 yr Couple of quid for some black spray paint - Instant Rat bike!! thats what i did! worked for me.
June 18, 200915 yr Moderator thats what i did! worked for me. Same here!......Nothin' says "Manly" better than some matte finish black paint.
June 24, 200915 yr I had the same issue a short while ago. Although I loved my bike, I hated the colors. I started off taking all the stickers off; this was a royal pain in the arse, lots of Zippo fluid made it happen though. I used "carbon fiber" print sticker (10$ a roll) to cover the blotts on the tank, and some pinstripe to subdue the orange stripe. I took some tracing paper and drew out the shape of the "blotts" then just laid the trace on the back side of the carbon fiber sticker and cut it out. Then I got some R7 graphics, simply because I could not find any YZF750R graphics anywhere for a fair price. I painted the wheels high gloss black, chopped the fender off and put flush mount signals on. Presto chango, now I like the way it looks.
