Just thought if I am going to spend 16k plus I might as well have an original colour coded top box

I'm not aware of anybody that as pay'ed the 20k+ for the Iconic, if you want one and find one give them an hard time! Bargains or there to be had , and let's face it!! It is the best colour  :enjoying:

It is if you like Hondas - that's presumably where BMW got the paint.  It was left over from an old batch of Pans (or Civics!).

Strictly speaking BMW didn't get the paint, these bikes are painted by 8 Ball, they are not factory painted. So they are a standard colour, then re-sprayed. Hence its not a factory special.  8)

I believe this paintwork was done by Gonzo's Kuston Paint Shop, https://www.facebook.com/Gonzos-Kustom- ... 890376527/

He has recently painted the tank for my XJ650.
