Like the transformation. B)
I had a TDM some years ago, but let it go because the original cans wern't up to winter riding and I didn't want it to rot away, as I couldn't afford to change them at the time.
Great underated bike.

Like it. looks good. Ar those renthal bars I see attached ?
Wish I could have kept mine but it was knack'd. The TDM900's good but it's not the old girl (RIP).

Good stuff. Looks very clean. Mine got washed once a year whether it needed it or not, which may have contributed to its downfall.
Bear in mind ... I never thought mine looked properly finished without doing the tank. In your colour scheme it might look ok, or are you going the whole hog, tank and everything.
I have all the mechanical skills of a tree stump that's rotted and got mushrooms growing on it, so I never got the tank off.
And here's my biking buddy's TDM (ABR Member - Elov - but he's never posted) (with my VFR before I saw the light) in it's unique colour scheme. p.s. it's his thats being jumped not mine !

Seems changing TDM colours is quite common. An easy wasy to make it look like a new / different bike without actually changing it.
good luck
cheers

Good move there Al, you won't embarrass me anymore with your gay yellow bike.
Seriously, I'd think about doing it all, but then I am a sucker for a bit of matt black, even my woodwork indoors is eggshell black!
Good looking bike and by the sounds of it highly rated too. B)
