That list is not correct for 1987 Ventures, at least for US market Ventures.

1987 Standard (US): Primary= Orion Silver (Dark Blue), Secondary= Aurora Silver (Light Blue)

1987 Royale (US): Primary= Alluvial Gold, Secondary = Silky Gold

1987 Royale (US): Primary= Elegant Brown (Medium Greyish Brown), Secondary= Imperial Brown (Tan)

Urishi Black/Marshall Gold was not a US 1987 Venture color.

Birch Brown/Copper Brown was not a US 1987 Venture color.

Urishi Black/Marshall Gold was not a US 1987 Venture color.

 

ok, so where do these colored bikes come from that have the speedo set in MPH ?

 

... or was that a color for a different year?

[Prairiehammer]

1986 US Royale had the Urishi Black (Primary) with Marshall Gold (Secondary) and Birch Brown (Primary) with Copper Brown (Secondary).

 

1986 Canadian Standard had Midnight Silver (Blue)

 

As far as I can tell there was no US Standard Venture in 1986.

Once again, "membership has it's privileges". Now I know what to call my colors. Now, getting paint to match,,,,,

Time for a color change, or scheme change perhaps.

Are you considering an upgrade to a MkII? Good choice.

Any suggestions for a good match for my Birch Brown (Primary)? I have spots on my "tank" cover from my brake fluid incident.
