Bluebird, thank you very much !
Awesome :cool:
The Sun factor is not an issue. I'm changing all the panels.
Either that or I get some custom paint job. But mor likely a new body. I already bought the upper fairing.
BTW, the R101 CU is the color code for the Candy Glory Red, color for the '01 XX in US, and '99 (for sure !) in Canada.
I used to work in couple Honda dealerships...
Color-Rite (
http://www.color-rite.com/ ) uses the same paint code... and HONDA has few diffent Candy Red colors themselve.
Here are the paint codes for XX throught the years (in US !)
'97/'98/'99 -
NH 359 Mute Black Metalic
'00 -
YR 183 Titanium Metalic
'01 -
R 101 CU Candy Glory Red
'02 -
NH 146 M Accurate Silver
'03 -
NH 463 Darkness Black Metalic
Apparently the '01/'02 red color in Canada is not the R101CU :???:
There are at least two sources in Canada I could use, that have prices much lower than these from your dealer.However the shipping charges would make up for the difference :roll: One is in Alberta the other in Quebec. I'm in Chicago....Shipping on the upper was US$56 !!! :shock:
So I'll have a friend of mine go to his local shop and see if they'd match :twisted:
Thank you very much again for your help. Hopefuly I'll be able to do something in return for you .... :cool:
Cheers,
P.S
US '01 and Canadian part numbers are different for the fr. fender, tail section and R & L lowers, due to different stickers !
The tank , the upper (for sure !), the grabrail and the mirror housings should have the same part numbers....
:whogives: :twisted: ....
