If you really want that CYS to "pop" in the sunlight, get HOK with a little more pearl in the base and it will be truly amazing.

I've used his CandyTopaz & It was nice . I really think he mis-labeled this kit . The color looks to a very good Gold . If that color was on a KO it would be a nice original gold color .Agree! Sounds like it turned out like mine, Art. You ever post any pictures of it?

Flash's HK1 color looks more like a KO Candy Gold. Art your's look to be a closer match but, still a little off.
The first "yellow" he sent me was green (post #19, chain guard). I should have cut my losses then and went with HOK yellow.I've used his CandyTopaz & It was nice .

their CYS shouldn't even be sold as such. Their green, red, and blue/greens are seemingly perfect.
Welcome back Karen! Where have you been?
As always, you make an interesting point. I have e-mailed back and forth with George several times and he said he's done several CRR but, never shot a CYS. He is supremely confident that he can do it. Mike "VRD" is considering having George do a CYS HK1 for him and I'm eager to see how it turns out. As, I've mentioned before, I figure I'm alright as long as I keep it an original HK1 color. Perhaps, I could be swayed if I saw a good CYS in person. Right now, CRR strikes me as a better color and I don't intend to resell the motorcycle.
I have no doubt that George could do an awesome paint job for you. The B/G he did for Mike is just amazing. He really captured the color in the photos too. I know that Mike is just as confident in George's abilities to do the CYS for him as well...Mike isn't going to have any blemish in his bikes I'm sure, and staying original with gorgeous paint jobs has kept his collection way above par.
Mike is actually doing the opposite of me and changing a CRR to CYS.
Remember that CYS HK1 I sold to MRDI, George changed that to CRR, Awsome bike, I wasn't too swayed with the yellow either, but thats the only one I've owned, had lots of CRR HK1's, I never thought about that color being rare. I bought that CYS off Ebay, only bidder $600!Mike is actually doing the opposite of me and changing a CRR to CYS.

Mike, I'm sure the K1's yellow is different than the HK1's yellow-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Actually I have an option to use a bike that is original CYS . I also have two K1 bikes that are both CYS . I will probably do both bikes at once . Both in their original colors (HK1 & K1 ) . Just need to find te time .
Mike, I'm sure the K1's yellow is different than the HK1's yellow

My Honda book calls the K1 Candy Yellow, and the HK1 Candy Yellow Special, My K1's all seemed to be a shade off the HK1 color, If I'm not mistaken Don's kits list a different color, but I can't pull up his site right now, if anyone can, please post the linkAre you sure? I thought they are the same.
I remember it well. The seller was from California. $600 was a steal. I was shocked it went for that little.
