    Default Color change...

    Hey everyone.
    So, was thinking about the color changing Ryker and I'm wondering about my F3S. I've got a 2018 black (matt/gloss) and it just worked out that I ended up with that color--long story. I'd LOVE to have a blue one! I wonder if anyone out there has compiled a list of the body panels that would need to be swapped to accomplish such a feat? Mechanical aptitude isn't a problem, I'm just wondering about a comprehensive list (if there is such a thing)? It seems to me that it should be a fairly simple process provided it isn't cost-prohibitive.

    It would be cost prohibitive - imho ….. the F-3 has less panels than an RT …. have you considered painting or heaving them painted ….. Mike

    WOW... Just got done pricing what it would take and it's around $2,100. I guess it would be cost prohibitive. Might be time to look into painting the panels over the winter.

    That's a possibility I hadn't considered fully... thought about it briefly but it may be the way I end up going.

    How about plastic dip. I changed the.color of my last bike 3.times.using plastic dip. Stock silver, then all red. Then red with white accents, then black with yellow accents. Easy to do, looks great. All from a spray can.
