185S Restoration Questions

[thedeatons]

Okay, I can't find my dealer brochure on my 1985 185S and I need some questions answered. If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it.

-Bar ends. What was the stock color of the bar ends? Were they a raw metal silver or a black. If they were black, was it a gloss black or semi gloss or flat?

-Taillight bracket. I know the taillight bracket was black, but was it semi gloss or flat?

-Rear Skid plate. Was the skid plate a semi gloss or a flat black?

-Rear fender supports. Were the rear fender arch supports a raw metal finish or were they painted silver?

I know this seems liek trivial stuff, but I want to make sure my restoration is nothing short of spectacular. Thanks everyone... James

I remember if you go to the links section on the title page there is a gentleman that has an archive of honda atc brochures. You'll probably find what you need in there. Good Hunting and Good Luck.
