The vendor catalog has a wealth of information!

 

Bright Red T5 Dark Red T5


NOTE: the following two colors were used on the 1982 XJ550 Seca models, and differ only slightly in their color tint. The HCP7915 Bright Red T5 color is exactly that: bright red. The HCP7915DR Dark Red T5 is the same basic color, but is a darker, less bright shade of red. Both colors have been observed on original 1982 XJ550 Seca models, and we have no idea why some bikes were finished in the bright red and others in the "darker" bright red, but it is a very visible difference. Perhaps Yamaha changed paint suppliers during the 1982 production year and the shade of red paint was changed slightly. In our opinion, the brighter red color is more attractive, and more keeping with the sporty, attention-grabbing nature of this bike, but we do have it available in both original shades for restoration purposes.
