Hi Folks.
Has anybody got the colour codes for the different years of the XII?

Well, yes and no. You can get the "Colorite" codes at colorrite.com/ (also a link on the Voyager XII Tech Center page on the AVA Website.) However, I don't think paint manufacturers use these codes, nor cross reference them. Or so I've heard.

Thanks Chevyman1 I was looking for that web page and those were the details that I wanted.
Also thanks Ron. I cannot see anything on the Tech page I'll just have to see if I can match the paints over here. However I just wanted a quick reference for when I see Voyagers in Fleabay. and Tinlin's page has just enough info for me to figure out a Voyagers age from the pic.
Over here the date in the vehicle Documents only tells you the date it was first registered in Germany, and as the XII was not imported by Kawasaki in Europe, that date can often be many years after the bike was built...

I think at the colorite site you can also see the colors, not just the names and codes.

Also thanks Ron. I cannot see anything on the Tech page ....

AVA Tech Page
Then click on "VoyagerXII" to go here
From there, scroll down the left menu, second item in the "General" section to "Color Codes & Colors for Motorcycles (Color-rite site)"

Interesting! My 2000 is not gray/silver metallic. Looks more tan or beige to me. Been painted?
EDIT: (maybe idiot!) It's gray, gotta quit posting then looking!

Thanks, found it. Still I'll wait till I get to the States next year to buy some as we do not have Colourrite here. Oh they will send it but the postage is more than the cost of the paint!
I have not found the colour (Teal) here yet nor have I found a code conversion chart yet. Still I'll keep looking...

....steve..., does your trip to the states next year include the 2014 N.C. rally ? are you having ur bike shipped here , or renting once you arrive ?... just curious.

Steve.. I have a dribble of the Teal that was left when I had a local garage match the colour by camera. I had given them the colorite codes and touchupdirect's codes but that was no use to them. They did a color analysis and matched it perfectly..
Where are you coming to in the US?.. If near me in VA, I can send it to you if you only need a little.. The shop may still have the color code on record..
Its Deans Body shop here in Radford.. Paint is expensive.. To respray the right bag lid cost me a total of $150..

@ Lucasind
I wish... No I'm headed to California (SF & LA) with a short trip to Hawaii and Vegas and it's work. I'm a personal assistant to a handicapped guy in a wheelchair so I guess I won't get much riding in...
@Pete
As I Just said I'll be in California, but thanks for the offer. However I do need to get in touch at some point as I would like you to have a look at my radio...
