Anyone got a photo of a black TRX: black bodywork, black frame, black engine, black wheels?
If so, can you post it up please.
Got plenty of photos like the one below, but want one of a bike with black Japanese import spec engine and black wheels too?
Cheers,
Dave.

Been thinking of an anodised swing myself....
I think your looking into something really cool....especially if you go flat black!

Out of interest trixy, whos is the trx in your first picture??
Really like it and if you go all black it will look superb.
Just thought the yzf arm looks really good on the trx, almost like its a standard thing and dosent look out of place. Really need to fit mine.

Anodised swing arm?, I was also looking at one of those, but not for the TRX, ( for my old TS )

Billyboy,
The first pic is one that was for sale on ebay just a few weeks back: a tasteful and well sorted ride indeed! Made about 1,500 quid. Yzf swinger and forks, blue spots front AND back etc etc.

Hi Dave!

Why don't you put your TRX in a dip with black paint?
Hmmm, I wouldn't want a TRiXie hearse

... but, as we all know, beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder (but blackness doesn't!).
Tasteful greetings from Munich!
PS: Nonetheless I wish you happy painting and that you'll be happy with your colour!

Nothing against four cylinders:
TRX 850 & Racetrack-TRiXie

Here you go Dave: Black, Black and err... Orange and White...
But you get the idea!
BTW I dont think you'll have much (or any) luck Anodising your swingarm... But please let us know if you find someone that'll do it; and make a good job of it.

Cheers Ad.
Thats more like it: black bodywork on that would be what I might be after.
Your swingarm Painted then? I had a black anodised swinger and swingarm/engine mount plate on this bike ...(now on Martins bike) and it was done well, but it was done when I got it so don't know who by.
Just ideas at the moment.
Dave.
