The colour is a Yamaha shade. Matched against a pristine, never seen sunlight, sidepanel.
Send your parts to me and I will get them done. Have done a few for folk overseas.
Yes Shaun, it seems you can polish a turd.

Mine was obviously a nugget of gold under the dirt.

Not mine, Yamaha gold.

I might take you up on your previous offer to help out with re-plating of small parts but I'd like to do the painting myself.
Having just said that, if the painter you use is really reasonable I bet I could easily be persuaded
So Yamaha gold is spot on? Is it the colour used on Fazers? That looks a bit different

I'm sure Yamaha has several shades of gold in their range.
As usual painters guard their paint recipes as none ever tell me exactly what they are.
Lets go offline to discuss further if you want.

Way to go Mark. There is nothing like a good ride to relieve the tensions of life. I saw an interview with a police guy who worked with profiling of the worst killers or pathology or some such that was really stressful and when he was asked how he tackled the stress just replied "I ride a motorbike". The bike looks great in the new livery. Plans to freshen mine up are near the top of the pile now. Love the colour on Grants one though. Might have to trowel the net for Yam codes.

Fannied about with carbon.
And then did a bit of a photo shoot with the Atlas. The weather is still nice (mid teens) but snow is forecast for next week.

Went for a spin to dial in the new YSS shocks and down to the Cudlee Creek Cafe to get a quote from Shannons; place packed with the usual motley collection until a young bloke turned up on a Black Shadow (notworthy)

Took my brother and his son to the Laverda Museum yesterday.
They were pretty amazed by the collection (which was no surprise for me).
Always great to see Cor talking so passionate about almost every bike in his collection.
Although the stormy weather, it was a nice ride on the 3CL.

That carbon is going to look special - Allans SF looks stunning - good news for the snow as we have booked skiing for the third week of December - its an expensive week with no snow

Well, not today but Sunday, on a grey afternoon in Kent, got a couple of hours on the Jota, first in a couple of months.Started great, no trickle charger on the Odessey battery needed. Joining A road, gunning down slip road, engine just about warm, look at speedo..120.... Found some bendy roads, watching out for leaves etc, bike so sweet...well sweet not really appropriate for a snarling Jota, but you know what I mean. Home, listening to regular tick over, admiring powder coated stands(the trick with washers in the springs to help refit works a treat!). Might check valve clearances over winter..this time am gonna get me a digital micrometer! Btw, the Wilburs on the Jota are so good, look fab too. Just broke bank and had Wilburs fitted front and back to BMW R 1200ST...riding to Holland tomorrow with wife for winter w/e away, so will be nice to have some damping restored!Dordrecht, if you know it?Blimey, last rode that way on the Jota in 2006 on way to the Cor Dee's museum opening in Lisse with Clem etc...well, I would have been with Clem but for my diesel incident, never to be repeated!

3 versions made in (I think) 2 or 3 years.
white frame: 300 made
blue frame: 100 made
red frame 50 made
Minor differences other than colour between white and blue frame versions, but the red frame had some major modifications such as hydraulic clutch, re-routed exhaust, new fairing, sidepanels and rear mudguard.
