Title: "Suzuki" gas tank logo colors
Post by: Pam G on February 24, 2006, 01:44:48 PM
Did the GS500 ever have a yellow "Suzuki" gas tank decal?  I need to find a yellow "Suzuki" gas tank decal.  It doesn't have to be for the GS500, but any older model.

That's not what she's looking for at all.

Pam, are you looking for the shiny metallic S, like the ones on the current GS500s, or the actual word "Suzuki" in yellow?

Hi there,
I saw GS500 decal sets in a bunch of colors, including yellow, on ebay recently. The auction is over:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8038818180
But the company sells them through their own site:
http://stores.ebay.com/Bike-Decals-And-Stickers
Contact at:
ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE CONTACT : mike@bikedecals.co.uk

From the web site:
    Kit of replacement / repair decals suitable for Suzuki GS500 models - both naked and the new full faired version.

    All decals are computer cut from high quality exterior grade vinyl. They can be left uncoated or lacquered ( aerosol or 2 pack ) to give a really professional finish.

    Dont confuse these with the cheaper printed decals that will fade badly quickly, these will last as long as the bike !

    Come with clear application tape to make fitting easy. We can also supply full fitting instructions on request.

COLOURS.

The basic kits come as one single colour, you can choose from :

Black, White, Red, Yellow, Orange, Lime Green, Purple, Pink, Pale Blue, Blue, Dark Blue, Light Grey, Dark Grey, Metallic Silver or Metallic Gold.

We also supply decals in Mirror Gold or Chrome Look or Carbon Fibre Look or Metallic Charcoal as well as full colour and custom colours - please email us for more info.

Please let us know the colour you require with your payment.

I hope this helps,

Todd

I need the word "Suzuki", 2 of them,  OEM size.  Not the fancy "S".

Short answer, No OEM Yellow GS500 tank decals for US markets. There were many tape sets for the tanks over the years.

If you don't mind digging some, the online fiche sites will have the OEM tape sets for the different model years. They DO NOT decode the color codes for you.

I have an early attempt at such a decoding/lisiting in my webspace HERE (http://home.bellsouth.net/p/s/community.dll?ep=87&subpageid=227385&ck=).
CAVEAT --
This document really needs work and contribution from the community. My goal is to have representative color photos of each part number. This is something sorely needed by restoration buffs.

Pholina Yellow, code 163 is in the 96 - 2000 listing. It was a tank/bodywork color only, no decals/tank "Suzuki" and the last listing 2000+, does not include the current Color Rite codes.

If want yellow, methinks Todd's links are the best route to start searching.

I'm assuming the 9" measurement is for the width/length of the whole word, not the height of the letters? :dunno_white:

Pam G:

Sorry I overlooked your last post here; I was on vacation in central AZ when you asked this question, and the answer is YES:

The stock SUZUKI logo is ~9" long from the beginning of the letter "S" to the end of the letter "I".

IOW, those Stickerpoint 9" decals are EXACT replacments for the stock Suzuki gas tank decals on the pre-'04 GS models...
