R65 paint scheme..

[andrewwoodhall]

Hello,
I'm minded to add pinstriping to the tank and rear panel. None exists as a pattern. Main colour is Hell red. Any guidance out there re width/number and positioning of striping. RSpaints specifies silver striping. 1982 model. I should like to access original advertising copy if available..?

Failing that I have an original 81 or 82 brochure at home so I could take a look tonight.

I have pinstriping on tank and seat rear, bike is black, stripes are red and white. Paintwork is original and there are some recent pictures on here if it helps.

Hello,
I can't find your Hell red on my colour guide.
Could you give me the colour number ?

My 84 LS has a paint code/scheme of 564. I believe its called Henna Red.

I'm unsure of the paint code. No identification on the bike, and not available from vin no. It's a bright, non metallic red..

[georgesgiralt]

You should have a black sticker with white markings under the seat on the rear mudguard. Something like the picture below.

Thanks. The code sticker is absent. My best way forward be may be to try Motorrad website with vin no.
