Hey guys, I am trying to find out if the 1973 TX 650 had a green color in other countries. I can't find the article now but read that there was a green offered outside the US in 73. I am starting a restoration on a 73 and saw a picture of a 74 painted a beautiful green but has the 73 gold and white sticker kit on it. If there was such a color I may change from the flake blue to the green , but don't want to devalue it with a non authentic color. The flake blue is such a pain to duplicate. Also,has anyone been able to find factory pictures of all the years of 650s',tried to contact Yamaha but they don't seem to care and didn't make any attempt to help. You would think they would since a lot of us are preserving their heritage.
