Original colour to Frame #

<< < (3/4) > >>

Lobo:
Thanks all,

It would seem Candy Ruby Red not original.... and I'm 99% certain my 'bike's a UK model. Might have considered swapping 'back' to a Planet Blue, but next choice is 'my' red & so will stick with this; despite not perhaps accurate.

Your helps much appreciated,
Simon.

#1 17500-300-670az  candy blue green(uk).#2 17500-300-670cm is candy ruby red (UK).
#3 17500-300-670cq candy gold.
 ::) it also lists candy blue green for k1 I think that's wrong and I always thought Polynesian blue metallic was a k2 colour and to top it off it lists colour code dm  sunny gold metalic but is not assigned to any model good news is it lists candy ruby red for all models so looks like a safe bet anyway
my head hurts now I need to lay down :o

Thanks Steff,

Great bit of detective work.... shoulda thought of that!

Cheers too busa, saw this too - it was the source of my 3rd posting above.

In summary, so much conflicting info out there on 'spec colours'.... never quite sure what to believe. Bottom line it works to my advantage, do quite like the Candy Ruby Red... and it seems no-one can authoritively tell me its wrong!

If it's a UK bike, and it's registered to you, download form V888 from the DVLA website, send that off with a cheque for £5 and they will send you photocopies (usually poor but legible) of all the V5 changes of keeper right back to first registration if they have it.

I have obtained histories for any number of my bikes this way.......and the original V5 if you get a copy will show the colour at first registration....job done.

If it's not a UK bike you are back where you started.
