OK 82 xj650 its a red blood color its met. Style paint. Is there a paint code for it I'm missing and whats the colors real name. Handle what's the proper style of bars for the bike. Right now I have a non stock jj. V style flat bar from a shop around me on it ( got bike this way and they suck) they are flat low and its almost a cafe racer style what should my bike have stock or what the most conferable handle bar for the bike be best if they come back to me a bit. Since we r on restore topics what should my wheels colors b right now they r high glos[align=center]s black and chrome not alumpolished its real chrome. Any ideas or help. I looked at the pics on here and people say That the bikes are restore to stock how ever not one matches another bike to the t. Thanks a lot and like to c some answers. I'm getting close to a full 3 months restore.

 

Contact Len at xj4ever. He sells paint. I think yours is candy cardinal red?

 

A Yamaha parts fiche is a good reference for putting a bike back to stock: http://www.yamahapartshouse.com/oempart ... ycle/parts

If you want to get seriously detailed about it, track down a Dealer Assembly manual for your specific bike. They pop up on eBay from time to time and are a great reference for fasteners and things that aren't covered in the service manual.

Your colors for '82 were "Star Red" and "Black Blue."

The stock handlebar was a "buckhorn" style in a rather uncomfortable bend. That's why a LOT of them got changed. You could go with something less radical though. If you do it right (shorter clutch cable and upper brake line) you can have it look as though it came from the factory with lower bars.

The wheels were originally painted black and the rims and spoke highlights "polished" (more like machined shiny.)

When most of us refer to putting everything back to stock, we're generally referring to the engine, airbox, pipes, etc. A little "personalization" isn't uncommon. Some guys just personalize more than others is all. My two 550 Secas are both essentially stock; but one much moreso than the other if you look closely. Although in my case, both are in their original color schemes. When I get my 650 Seca done, it too will be "stock" except it won't be wearing an original color scheme.

 

Star red That will help on my part but why only 2 colors offers. And yea. Then them Buck bars I have seen and they look worse then my lay down cafe racer bars.

But y wasn't chrome really used on them like they r now? Or was this bikes more a2b travel rather then flash
