Thanks again for the replys. Amen to all those comments. In due time I'll look at getting some of those colored rims, leaning toward black, but we'll see.

My other idea is to get a new seat with white or yellow ribs. Still deciding. The only dang problem is, does anyone know where to get a new seat at a discounted price? I don't like how my seat dips down. Just looks worn.

It would be a great business idea to get a company that will put the seat and custom covers on. Seems like all I can find is them separate.

If the Rims on it are in good nic it doesn't cost a lot to get them Hard Annoed Black. If they have any chips etc, don't bother. I'd go Yellow fork guards if anything. Adds contrast from the black rims.
Gold hubs would be a bonus, if you get those get some gold foot pegs as well. They'll compliment each other. Maybe gold bar ends, brake line clamp and valve caps as well

+2 on the OS rotor. Or just a nice front rotor guard will cost less. Frame grip tape or frame guards would look clean.

SDG seats are good value. Enjoy MFG seat covers are fantastic quality. Really good IMO. Email Mike and you might be able to get the SDG seat shipped directly to him so he can fit your cover. He may even order and supply the seat for you if you ask. Top Bloke.
I just take mine to the local car trimmers. Charges me $20.00. If you take it to the trimmers, remove the old seat cover and all the staples first. Time is money.
SDG sell the foam separately as well.

You could also powder coat the hubs yellow.

On the other hand. You could leave it as is. Looks great already. Nice work .

Rad bike man!! I have a yz450f & I was debating on changing it over to yellow too. Where did you get the newer model front fender in yellow at? Thats what was holding me up.

In no way am I saying add all this crap, I'm just throwing out some ideas out there for ya!

Gold chain & rear back sprocket (or black)
Fresh tires
MotoHose has yellow hose kits on sale for $25 for my 09 yz450, so check on yours too.
Black rims, black spokes & gold hubs
Carbon fiber frame guards, front fork guards & disk guard (or black-cheaper)
Carbonfiber or black rear rotor & caliper guards
Yellow or black Acerbis or TM designs chain guide
Yellow front swingarm slider
Acerbis black X-Force handguards (my fav ones for MX)
Aftermarket ignition cover (freshens the motor up & matches your clutch cover)
New bar pad, maybe a different color?
Torc or hammerhead shifter & foot brake levers. They come in black & you choose a tip color.
Gray or black Cycra plastic skid plate.

Hey brother. Great ideas thank you. All that would look trick, but would get expensive. Lol. Taking some of those to the bank though. Sprocket and wave front rotor are on the way.

The front style fender I got in the ufo restyle kit I ordered from grim cycles on eBay. You might just be able to get one seperate for cheaper on ebay. They sell those seperate sometimes.

Thanks man! I'm going to price out what it will be to turn my bike yellow. I have tr Cycra power flow kit & it's ALL blue. Even my plates. So I'll have to buy everything. My bike is set up for off-road so I have a 3.3 gallon IMS tank that is the natural color. I think that would look cool with the yellow. Well see.

Btw: get the ribbed seat cover that was mentioned. Black, yellow & white would look so sick. I have a SDG step seat on mine & I love it. It's my 3rd one on my 3rd different bike. The oem seat was crap. Super thin & worn out. These SDG seats are great quality & comfortable. Not to pricey either. $80-100 on Amazon or EBay.

Really nice!! Maybe it's cuz I'm old, but I think all YZ's should be yellow. That's the way they were when I first threw a leg over a dirt bike.
