A guy pitted next to us had one and was kind enough to let her ride it and she fell in love. We grabbed one up had SKDA do up the graphics for her. Too cold outside for the install so in the living room it went.

Congrats! Load the Keefer Free Feeling map and put on your surgical gear for the air filter changes.

I love the matte graphics look. And I love the Yamahas even more!

I'm liking the look, and the fact you probably got no complaints bringing the bike inside.

Nice lookin bike. Let us know how the matte graphics hold up. I've heard mixed reviews about them showing wear easily compared to glossy graphics.

Oh no, I still got the "judgment eyes" when I rolled it in.

Complete opposite in my experience. They show scuffs (blackmarks) the same as glossy but hide scratches way better. I think in general they look better far longer than glossy. This will be my third or fourth set of matte finish.

Are you running a dark color or matte black graphics? Cole disagrees with you at 2:02 and this isn't the first time I've heard this but now that I think about it most who complain have dark matte colors:

Sharp looking bike.
Bonus points for having your "artwork" in the house to look at.

Fair question so all of my matte stuff has been lighter colored. Grays, oranges, "seafoam" one time. I did have a little bit of black on one, I dont recall it being bad, that was as an accent not full black.
