Hello Andy/nxsr20,

Thanks for the reply. The lockabale compartment behind the seat was being stubborn, but eventually it opened. Once the two bolts that tie into the sub frame were removed the rear assmebly came off ok!

I've noticed the sticker on the rear sub frame (which is still there) and defines the original colour of the bike!


My MC-21 is a 1990 "R" version:

My bike VIN is "MC21-102...."

COLOR "R-109"

CODE "R109B"

I understand it is NOT the SE or SP version, but an R, originally with an overall white colour with red markings. This is further reinforced as there is factory red over-spray on the underside of the tank. Some scratches in the seat area show a red colour is lutking below the non-factory repray.

Can anybody confirm what colour the rims would have originally been?

Thanks guys

Cheers, Frank
