    Yamaha dealers here in the US don't know anything about the old bikes.
  2. I just recently found out about this forum. Great stuff! I have been riding, working, and racing motorcycles for many years and decided, about 3 years ago, to start restoring old Yamahas, specially the ones I had when I was a kid. Just finished a 75 XS650B, working on a 79 XS750F and just purchased a 76 XS500C. Not a profit thing. Just a passion for the old stuff. Garage is space is vanishing quick. :-)

    Apologies. I didn't know the proper protocol.

    Just got a running 76 that has been repainted but I would like to put it back to it's original graphics. Yamaha sold the 500 with two different colors that year(black and brown) so, how can I find out what is the original color that my bike came from the factory?
