Title: B12 Plastic
Post by: Gosser on February 18, 2012, 11:28:56 PM

Newb here looking for advice on 2000 b12 fairing parts online.
I see on Bike Bandit/Alpha Sports ect they list the fairing parts as either maroon or silver.
My Canadian b12 is more of a gold colour, was there a difference in US/Canadian paint colors in 2000?

BTW Awesome site guys, i can see spending a lot of quality time here.  :grin:

In the US, it was "Metallic Light Olive Silver," Suzuki code YC7, Color Rite code 4965. 
I'm pretty sure the CDN model was the same color. 
It does sometimes look a little gold in certain light, other light is looks more silver and sometimes the green of the olive shows through.

  I had replaced different sections on mine. I ended up with all different colors including a different color tank. Then I had the whole bike painted. They come up on ebay sometimes,but its hard to find them in good condition, and especially in a specific color.

Thank you so much, a perfect description of how my B12 looks. :grin:
I order most of my parts online from the US and was somewhat concerned about any difference in the color, i didn't want to drop 2 bills only to find a difference in the color.
