I have a fuel tank that I bought off of ebay. It's a nice tank, with a beautiful red paint job. It has a sticker on the bottom with the part number including color code. Google returns nothing. The part number on the bottom is 44100-01DF0-Y0W. The person I bought it from said she got it from the UK. Any ideas what this color could be?
If you post a picture I will tell you. :icon_razz:
Sure doesn't correspond to the Color Rite codes does it?
That's the problem with a global bike. Different markets have other options and IF the "Y0W" is the color code, and I agree that it is, it would take a UK source to confirm it.
Sledge, Red_Phil, others? Got any codes for that side of the pond?
The only picture i have is from the auction.

I don't have a camera, but I can tell you that those pictures aren't very representative of the tank. It positively glows in the sunlight.
i cann't remember where i say one this site but, it was a link to a color chart for the different years for the gs. i would have to say a redish-orange.

I think you're referring to starwalt's chart at http://home.bellsouth.net/p/s/community.dll?ep=87&subpageid=227385&ck=
It doesn't have the code. :(
Oh, and I know that it's reddish-orange! :laugh:
In reply to Starwalts comment I cant help other than to suggest contacting Suzuki here in the UK on the customer service number and asking them if they can help.

Cool, thanks. I think I'll try Suzuki North America first, since that'll be cheaper on my phone bill, but I'll definitely give them a call if I can't find out anything.
The color looks like this one? 1999 GS500E UK and European models.

That looks like the color. It *is* nice, which is why I'd like to match it. I might just have to settle for "the best the paint shop can do"
Just send suzuki of UK a email asking for the red color code for the 1999e's. Once you get it take it to a paint shop and ask if they can match it. Or if you have not installed the tank yet, take it to a good body shop they should be able to match it pretty close without the code's or they might be able to get the code for you. Just a thought
color is something like #DF181F or RGB: 223 24 31 or CMYK: 0% 97% 96% 0% :icon_mrgreen:
Try this website they have some colors of red that Suzuki uses

I found it! Thank you ColorRite! Now if it wasn't $100/pint (plus the base coat) I'd be set.

Mike at ColorRite to me:
We do have that color and it is called Suzuki YOW Candy Koran Orange and colorrite # is 4760 for the top coat and 1760 for the base color.
