What colour
Nurse Julie:
If you need all the deals (bloody predictive text....DECALS 🤔), our forum member and sponsor Piki...real name Diego (Redice decals) does them and they are spot on....good price too.

Hi all, hoping it's ok to tag onto this thread as my question is linked to AndyD's original one.
The photo is of my '77 400F as it was when i bought it, resplendent in it's turquoise tank and black side panels. I can't find any trace of original paint, and the V5 says it's silver! As I understand it the options would have been the same as AndyD's machine - light ruby red or varnish blue. Is there a way to trace what the original colour would have been from the frame number or other method?
Regards, Darren.
Nurse Julie:
Yours being a 77 F2 would have only been available in Candy Antares Red or Parakeet Yellow, they were the only 2 colours. . Andys bike is much earlier than yours, so his was either Light Ruby Red or Varnish blue. They were the only 2 colours on the F models . I don't think Honda UK have the info on original colours but possibly, it may be worth you contacting them. . There is no way to find the colour from the VIN number, other than it being an F2 in the Antares or the Parakeet.

I've used the Honda contact page a few times. Provide them with the model and frame number, explain you want the colour for a restoration project. I've always had a reply with the colour code in less than two weeks.

Well done John. The only stumbling block I can think of is that it looks to be a USA import (going by the chrome tail light bracket) and I don't know if Honda UK have access to the USA details 🤔
