Gotta let it cure for a few days. Then I'll apply the badges.

I like yellow bikes. My CBX is yellow.

Badges? We don't need no....wait, yes we do.
Tell me black? Or sticking with Red?

Looks like they laid the paint down well. Black accents, bumble bee.

Black badges. I was tossing up getting the grilles black as well but decided not to.

Put black on my Silver as well, one of the cosmetic changes that I'm glad to have done.
Seen the BMW special edition? THAT's bumble-bee...

Here's the classic combo for the yellow look:

I heartily approve the return of the yellow menace.

Welcome back.

Yellow and black is natures way of saying don't fuck with me.

Just ask any of the stinging type of insects.

I like it !

Must be why the paint on the throttle body adjustment points is yellow...

Did you paint it yourself ? WOW.
i've tried once and failed badly. Bought compressor, brush, filler, color etc. but finally switched to black (matt black)

GRiSO Capo Posts : 10711 Join date : 2013-05-29 Age : 67

Nope. Local bloke drinks in the same pub as me. I couldn't paint a brick. Laughing

Correct me if I've misremembered, but hadn't you painted your original GRiSO 1100 in that yellow livery?

I think it's a good choice, both then and now.

Thumbs Up

Nope, it came from the factory yellow! A very bright yellow, but not as bright as this! cheers

They're the only pictures I have of my 1100. All the others were on a long dead hard drive. 2006 was a long, long time ago.

Ahhh the yellow Grisos are the best! I got beaten to the deal for a yellow one and had to settle for a red.

Saw the photo & thought that beige more than yellow. Then I opened my new eye. Realised the error of my ways - I can read with the old eye, just barely, but the colour is, in comparison, washed out & with a brownish tint. The new eye is very impressive - new whites are brilliant & sparkling.
