I’m currently restoring an XS2 and plan to paint to the UK/ European Pearl Yellow Gold colour scheme. Could anyone confirm the correct paint for the stripes on the tank, from pictures I cant decide if there is a red stripe.
Viewing from. the petrol cap down,
1. Tank Pearl Yellow Gold.
2. Yellow stripe.
3. ??? Is this a Red stripe or just a gap showing the Pearl Yellow Gold same as tank.???
4. Black stripe.
5. Yellow stripe.
6. Rest of tank Pearl Yellow Gold around Yamaha badge.
I‘m also trying to source an original UK/ European Rear lIght numberplate holder which is a different shape to the USA version and does not have the two red reflector mounts. The different rear lamp is easily obtainable but I’ve failed miserably trying to source this last remaining part. The part number for complete Assy is 306-84710-30 and just the License bracket is 306-84751-30-35. I have the USA number plate type with the red reflectors, if anyone on the forum could source this part for me I would be most grateful. Cheers Paul.

I’m sorry- did not catch the Euro paint scheme requirement- mine is the standard US paint - did not mean to mislead you.Hi there! I have one- here in Ohio- clean title-all service completed 2 months ago- just kick start and go

No worries - I've found a US XS2 and fully up to my neck acquiring needed bits to begin a "colorized" resto over the winterI’m sorry- did not catch the Euro paint scheme requirement- mine is the standard US paint - did not mean to mislead you.
Nice bike you have done there!

Picked up Tank, Side Panels and headlamp from the painter today and wen5 for the UK/Europe/ Oceania scheme. Pleased with results although it looks a little red in the image. Unusually bright Sunny day in Cardiff today and pant looks very much like jp
Just picked up my XS2 Tank from Ultimate Bike Paints,I went for UK/Euro/ Oceania theme. It’s unusually sunny today in Cardiff and the pictures look a little red but actually its more orange. Happy with the results and a big thank you to jpdevol and txxs for supplying pictures and info on the paint scheme
