    :)Grüße aus Athen Griechenland

    Entschuldigung, dass ich auf Englisch mit Google schreibe, um auf Deutsch zu übersetzen?

    Ich restauriere meine alte RV125 (1979 Modell 100000 + KM !!!!)

    Ziel ist es, es in die Nähe des Originalzustands zu bringen (wie es im Werk gebaut wurde …)

    Ich bitte Sie um Ihre Unterstützung bei der Felgenfärbung:

    Ich erinnere mich an 'Helles Silber', 'Nicht metallisch' , etwas in der Nähe von 'Aluminium' oder 'Hellgrau'

    Könnte jemand aus dem Forum bei der richtigen Farbgebung helfen?

    Ich denke, dass die Farbkarte, wie im Teilehandbuch angegeben, nicht hilft (beigefügt)

    Siehe auch im Anhang die mit „Primary Paint“ beschichteten Felgen warten auf die finale Farbe.

    Danke vielmals

    Greetings from Athens Greece

    Sorry for writing in English using google to translate in German?

    I am restoring my old RV125 (1979 model 100000 + KM !!!!)

    Target is to bring it close to the original condition (as was built on factory …)

    I am kindly requesting your support on Rim coloring:

    I remember it like Light Silver , Not Metallic something close to Bright Aluminum or Light Gray

    Could anybody from the forum help on the correct Coloring ?

    I think that Color Chart as is reported in Parts Manual does no help (attached)

    See also attached the Rims coated with “Primary paint” waiting the final color.

    Many Thanks

    Hi Giogosg,

    I found it. You can find the color codes on this page:

    http://alpha-sports.com/suzuki_parts.htm

    Click on the left side the year and model, then click on the right side on "COLOR CHART".

    Maybe you need this color code too:

    Best regards,

    Dear RV Community


    I am based in Athens Greece & I own a RV 125 B (1979 Model).

    Since long time ago I have started restoring it ….. this takes long as I do not have the required available time BUT I decided to have Slow Progress BUT Good results.

    Target is to bring RV125 as much closer to the ORIGINAL condition when the motorcycle left the factory.

    That means all Parts are original & appear exactly like the initial parts .. (No additional accessories , No Extra Chroming , Same Colors , Same decals , etc …)

    Fortunately since long time ago , I had purchased the most Critical Parts, having them available now in an excellent condition …. e.g. : Both Tires are Brand New , Seat is also Genuine & Brand New , Front Fender & Bolts with ‘S’ & many other rare parts.

    Let me share You some pictures as You will understand the effort & the cost behind that project…

    Any Comment by You is more than ‘welcome’ but sorry if I will respond with Delay 😊

    Best Regards

    Hello Georg,

    it's been a long time since I saw someone work with such attention to detail. I think the screws marked with an 'S' are very beautiful. And the rear wheel covered with foil. Brilliant! Have fun with your restoration.

    Hi Giorgosg,

    Very impressive! If you continue to work so thoroughly you will have an excellent result. 8) By the way: I'm surprised you found new tires. You can no longer get these in Germany.

    Good luck with the further restoration!

    Gruß,
