Hi!
I'm still looking around for my first RD 500, and came across one that has been restored. It is 90% finished and now needs to be painted.
It is already yellow and black, but are missing the white details.
Anyone have a picture of the OEM paint scheme for US ( 52X? ) bikes?
This is what the seller tells me he was planning to do.
Is he correct? Were there bikes painted Y/B/W from the factory?

There were a few colour schemes from the factory, but I don't think yellow & black was one.

I 've ordered decals from these guys and they are first rate, they will also do custom colors of any decals they have.

Norbo at RDLCCrazy also does decal sets in the UK, never ordered from him though.
Canadian RZs only came in the red/white/blue speed block color scheme
