Thank you all for the info. I will take these codes to our Sikkens and Dupont paint dealer here in Iceland and see if this code is acceptable by their system. Let you guys know how things work out. Simply great to have you guys available to help a newbie like me:think:

Hi Lynn and thanks for the info:). My bike is setup with one muffler on each side or two cylinders into one. Modifying the saddlebag brackets should be an easy job but was unsure of the trunk. Well, I think the hardest task is to find a complete trunk for a reasonable price. They are certainly not lying around and if they are available they usually go for a hefty price. But the other option is to buy it in parts - little by little so to speak. I have never seen a picture of a Tour Classic with a Venture trunk added but if anybody out there can post a link to such a picture then that would be apreciated. I will keep VR.org updated regarding the process of adding these bags and trunk to my bike and post information on how it went and what needs to be done. Many thanks Lynn and ride safely.

Jack! Great hearing from you and seems like we have identical bikes Thanks for the info. Was wondering if this color can be made by any general car paint seller like Dupont, Sikkens and so forth or if the Yamaha codes are unique Yamaha codes. I am in Iceland and I think it is kind of a problem shipping paint from country to country, at least by air freight. But I will do some investigation. My bike is arriving here in Iceland in about a week. Would very much like to see some pictures of yours. Send me a PM if you would like to swap some pictures of our bikes. Many thanks for the info Jack.

Hi again ! Well since I bought some black hard Venture saddlebags for my Tour Classic then I need to paint them to match the color of my bike. Can any of you tell me where I can get the color code for my bike? I have a complete service manual but I can not find any information there that would guide me to a code stamped on the frame or on a plate on the bike. The color of the bike is kind of a bottle green (vintage green) and creame white in color. The paint shops here in iceland tell me they always have a problem finding the right color code for motorcycles and usually they scan the color on the bike and try to match it. I would prefer to get it right the first time and do this by the code if it is available. Here below is a picture of the bike that shows the colors. Any advice greatly apreciated.

Greetings. Neeed some help regarding dressing up my 1998 Royal Star Tour Classic II. Bought the bike in December and it is arriving here in Iceland next week. Was fortunate enough to find some hard bags from a 2005 Venture here on VR.org from mr. Rick Butler (thousand thanks Rick:))and would like to add that this was the easiest transaction ever. What I am wondering about is if any of you Royal Star riders/owners have swapped the leather bags for hard Venture bags and if there are any modifications needed. By looking at the OEM parts from Yamaha it seems like the supports under the bags are a little different but I would guess that it would be an easy modification. Any tips or advice greatly apreciated. Secondly I just have to have the Venture trunk for my bike. Would like my wife to have it comfy behind me. As far as I can see the only thing in general I need is to get the frame for the trunk as well as the trunk itself of cause. Do you guys know if there are any modifications needed and/or if this is a simple bolt on? Looking forward to hear from you guys and many thanks in advance.
