Thanks,
That may have saved me a ton of money. I don't suppose you have the code for the white half?

Is that the same colour used on my 1990 Evo by any chance?

Hi Dawg, I bought my bike new, so yes it is the 'Bright Candy Hi Fi Blue'. I was interested to see the name is similar to the one lilricky asked after. I painted my glass-fibre parts birch white in the style of earlier models (tourpak and batwing came off two different bikes).
