Repainting the YamaZong XT200GY-2
 

I have added a Clarke XT225 fuel tank to my YamaZong. I really enjoy the 3.5-gallon fuel capacity, and I also like the bike’s new appearance. :)

However, the color is not molded into some of the plastic on my Zong, and after 20,000 miles the color has faded. :( Therefore, I am going to order a Polisport Universal Motard Fender, and repaint the rest of my motorcycle. :)

I can choose any color I wish for the new fender, so I am considering new color schemes for my YamaZong. Therefore, I decided to create a poll. Which of the following color schemes do you like best? :)

Here is a retouched photo showing the bike repainted in the original KTM Orange.

As forum member Weldangrind stated in another thread, Yamaha Blue has a certain "poetic justice." ;)

How do you like Honda Red?

Finally, I can dress the entire motorcycle in basic black.

Repainting my Zong will be a fun winter project. Please vote for the color you like best. :)

Spud :)

black
 

Like black the best

X2 on black; total Road Warrior look. Not feelin' the other colours.

The only other color would be the blue....But black get the vote.
<*Hums the A Team intro* :D

I find myself becoming partial to urban camo.

Maybe not suitable for where you are, so how about desert?

The whole thing: tank, plastic, and seat

I think the orange looks the best :wink: , but maybe it's because I like to make people think its a $7,000 KTM :lol: :lol:

I was just playing with the pics and posted my own idea on my WWW . since i still don't know how to post pics on here . Have a look and if someone wants to copy and post it , be my questhttp://viewmorepics.myspace.com/inde...ageID=61140095

I'd go with desert tan bed liner, I'd give it that military klr look. :wink:

Welcome, Chrome! It is very nice to have you join us at China Riders! :)

I don't know about tan, but I was considering black Line-X bedliner for my front fender. :)

I talked to a Line-X dealer who had a display at the Eastern Idaho State Fair. The Line-X bedliner is very durable, and surprisingly light in weight. :)

Spud :)

I wish to thank everyone for his response. Please don't forget to vote in the poll. :)

Stealth Black is currently the favorite, followed by KTM Orange.

i like the black ..and not to change the post do you think that tank would fit my lifan gy5 thanks looks good

I also like the Desert Tan idea. After that black, but the Honda Red was also nice.

Byu the time you're done with the Zong, Spud only the right front foot peg will be original! :D

if i read this right, your two top color choices are the same 2 that the bike comes with :roll: face it spud its time to start on the engine we need some for hp's, big exhaust, big carb, high compression big bore stroker kits or maybe chopped yamazong 8O

I'm still partial to the desert tan myself, It'd be a real head turner.

Orange is a no-brainer!! I do remember Vento Motors a few years back had the Zongshen Sierra re-badged as their own bike (like Qlink's old enduro was a re-branded Sierra, too) and it came in some sort of camo scheme, maybe a hunting-type of camo, and it didn't look too bad. I never really liked Qlink's colors for some reason, and feel that the orange is the best color scheme for any bike, anywhere, and since Zongshen offers their Sierra in orange, then it must be the way God intended it (you are a religious man, aren't you?) :lol:
