Oh shit! And here I thought Blue Phoenix just sounded cool.... Thanks for the link Ray, I might have to reconsider the thread title now, dammit.

I took her around the block last night after getting everything buttoned back up. It was dark by then so no final pics yet, but I did get one of the highly important finishing touch, my license plate frame.

Lookin' sharp, and keep the Blue Phoenix name. Only one around here reading Chinese fantasy fiction is Ray.

Chinese fantasy fiction, so that's what they're calling it these days.

Source for paint? Color-Rite?

Nice job!

BTW, Phoenix is in AZ not Texasss

Nice job!

I went to a local auto paint store that happens to carry PPG. They scanned one of my side panels and said it was a match for BMW Tanzanite Blue paint code X10, or PPG 930272.

And thanks, only problem is I know where all the snafu's are....

Not the greatest pic but I was in a hurry to take a ride with my son today and hit some of the best roads Ellis county has to offer. I'll try to get a better one up later. Back in the saddle again and it sure is sweet! <<<Can you see me smiling?

Excellent news!!

Greatness, and what a day to be out riding. I almost rode past my exit on the way home from work just to ride some more.

You know, there's some certain Tex Mex restaurants around you that "The Rise of El Blue Fenix" would work too.

I gotta watch how much mexican food I eat, I don't want to tell you what rises up otherwise.

So you're now riding a combo Yamaha-BMW? How insulting that the paint color has "BMW" attached to it.

Just replace the tuning fork roundel on the tank with this and call it a day.



The phoenix schizophrenic FJR.

Everyone thinks it's a BMW anyway.

I just hope my final drive holds up

Well ya... Stick one of these on the tank --



then walk to the back of the bike and find this:



BTW, nice job getting your FJR back to its pretty self again!

I have it on good authority that the issue with BMW final drives has been greatly over exaggerated!

Final Drive? Just keep it on the damn road for once.

Coming here late but if you need the yamaha chrome emblem that is on the outside right side hard case lid I've got one.
