Hi

Welcome to the Forum! As far as I know, the only regular colors were red, blue, black or white. Looking inside the rear shock covers is usually a way to find what the original color might have been.

Yes, welcome to The Forum; where nostalgia's just a thing of the past.....

Could it possibly have been a factory special? Definitely not a standard colour, AFAWK. Another place to look for a previous colour would be on the tank, under the chrome panel.

Info from experienced experts here tells us that Honda painted with no primer; the factory method was just to paint straight onto bare metal, and for very logical reasons. So, if you scratch and find primer then its probably a repaint and not factory.
