f2 colours

When I bought my 78 400 it was Varnish Blue which I thought was incorrect. I contacted Honda using their contact form:

https://www.honda.co.uk/motorcycles/contact-us.html

After a few days I has an email reply:

Dear Mr. Dean,
Thank you for your patience.
The colour code for the bike is: R-6CS
Thank you for contacting Honda UK. If you need any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us back.
 
Kind Regards,
Yuliy  Antov

Confirming that it should be Candy Antares Red not blue.

Cheers Deano  My thoughts confirmed  Should be Antares Red  Ross

[Deano400]

I'm not sure if you can be certain unless you contact Honda.
I contacted them as my varnish blue bike came with a Parakeet Yellow side panel, so I originally thought they would come back and say yellow.

As an F2 Ross has the choice of Candy Antares or Parakeet Yellow......decisions, decisions 😀😀😀😀

Good luck with Andrew Parnaby I rang and spoke to him four times and he didn't give me a price or if he could do it.
Paint work went to Dream Machine pick it up next week.

Ross, I have used Menno Dek (tanklackieren) twice now and his work is superb. Other members have also used him with great results.
Ask Piki (also a member on here under the name of Redice, decals and stickers) to make your various decals and he will send directly to Menno. Menno also clear coats over the decals to give a perfect finish. He also chemically cleans out the tank so it's like new.
Good luck.

Hi Ross, the tank was done by Menno, as you say it looks the dogs ***. As Laverda120 says, Piki supplies perfect decals, he has made some for me from scratch and they were spot on.

Thanks guys  Menno looks a great job  Do they have a UK dept or just Germany and Netherlands Doesn't the price of Postage push it over the top compered to someone in UK  Ross
