Color Scheme
I like my Hondas to be red and blue; Gordo likes them all red. There is
something out there for both of us.
We both installed stock Honda red fenders, front and rear.
I kept my blue fork boots; Gordo opted for red ones.
Someday I’ll paint the frame red, but for now I use PJ-1 Honda white paint to
touch up the places on the frame where I broke off all the clips and mounts as I
removed parts.
I painted my headlight nacelle red and retained the blue number decal. Gordo
left his headlight nacelle white and peeled off the number decal.
I removed the side number plates because I didn’t think they did anything
functional, and they are expensive to replace. I made an air box cover out of
blue plastic and stock Honda fasteners. I discarded the inner air box seal.
If you removed your battery, and like Gordo, want to keep your number plates,
you can replace the left-side number plate with a standard XR number plate
that doesn’t stick out so much. You can also change the colors of the number
plates, fork boots, and tool bag by using standard XR parts as shown in the
following table:
