Well I'm sorry to see my 08 Apex LTX GT 40th Annv go, but I'm starting to get pumped up about my NEW RIDE.
After careful consideration of color choices and what I want to accomplish with a theme, I'm going back to a reto sled, one Yamaha Built in 1980...One Of My Favorites the "GOLD & BLACK" SRX 440's.
This is going to have a GOLD seat with a White band with Black raised letters. This is going to a all out Gold Metalic base with Gold .015 plastic flake with 20% Silver flake mixed in with it 80/20 mix over the Chasis and all the plastic panels and trim pieces will be the same The hood, tank cover & front end along with a few other things will be Candy Black over a Black metalic base.
Lots of cool little things like CPR Boost & Water/Meth Injection and a few other things I'll save for the build. This will be by far the most complex project I've ever done and should be a stand out when I'm fiinished.
Here is a pic of the 1980 SRX that will be the theme for my new ride which will be a 2007 APEX 136" RTX

Great idea its going to look great, but boy i dont know about the seat being gold.
Yea I know it does sound kinda iffy about a Gold Seat, as to keeping it clean. The way I drew it up it looks awesome with the White band and raised letters, so I'll do it for now as I can always change it down the road.

If Yamaha does come out with a new Apex, it would be nice the see a great throw back colour/paint sceme like that,,,, It would look awesome.
MAN O MAN finding and matching the Gold that I want has been nothing short of a 
Looks like I'll have to revamp the ENTIRE Color of the project to Holographic Twilight Black, Chrome & Sun Light Yellow.
It will still look Awesome, but I hated to make the change

This looks like it will be a cool build, those old srx's where bad units. I agree, a retro Apex would be cool for shur. Good luck!

Well the test panels LOOK AWESOME the pictures are a bit tough to make out because they are so Dam Brillant from the outside light of the sun and even when I came inside and tryed to take a picture the flash would drown it out.
The Candy Gold....You can see the camera reflection
The Sun Light Yellow is pretty bright as well.
The Black is very cool as it has a bunch of colors going through it...Blue, Red, Green ...I just can't seem to get a clear pic of it.

Try taking it inside and turn the flash off, or maybe hold the camera on more of an angal instead of strait on. That IS a crazy reflection tho.
