hi to everybody.had the bike almost a month now and its better than i had expected.but imust say that the black tank looks a bit bare, do any members{dont laugh} think that the decal from the khaki bike would look ok on the blackun,different colours of course.all answers apreciated. http://www.xt660.com/images/icons/icon14.gifthanks

I think #2 with some yellow accenting details can be really nice.

And hello & welcome! =)

Hi Oldbaldy, I like Molgan's Alt 1 but may be with Dakar Yellow/Sand dune orange, earthy kind of color, as Molgan's color is a bit neon on my screen. Same with your Dakar logo idea, I like it too. Mind you, if there is some design on the tank, I would also like to see something on the rear to balance it somehow.

Molgan, good job on 'painting' the bikes as samples.

yellow speed blocks looks really good well done molgan

Thnx. =) On the first one the decal became a bit subtle so I just cranked up the saturation for clarity, agree it should be more sand or bronze.

Nice job on the graphics! I'd go for number 2 if pressed, but I'm happy with my Desert Khaki. What would look good is the old Sonauto Blue with Yellow speed blocks, or Yellow with Black speed blocks. Maybe on the next production run?

Like this?

Actually, no I don't think you went too far... You should get that sent to Yamaha. It has a very purposeful look about it.

thanks to you all for your ideas.would molgan please do me afavour and place the name TENERE in silver down the tank in the same format thats on the black model.thanks again for all the help,oldbaldy

Wey hey! I had the very same idea as this - if all I could find was a Khaki version in stock I would have got it resprayed in yellow I think...

But I like the plain black... unless you want to do a version with red speed blocks... hmmmmmm...

btw. if anyone does want their panels repainted, I know a very good paintshop based in Horam Sussex who could do it for you (they painted a couple of bikes for me in the past)...

If I'll have as much free time at work tomorrow as I had today I might give it a shot. :)
