I ran across this site and put in my bike(s) info and the color is available.

"Perfectly matched paint: you’ve tried every color but the one your bike came with – don’t screw around anymore, buy the perfect match. ColorRite O.E.M. Touch-Up & Refinish Paints aren’t close or similar to the factory color, they ARE the factory color. You can’t call it a perfect match because it’s not a match, it’s the original color.
ColorRite paints and coatings are approved by the OEMs. Recommended for your respray and touch-up needs by the same factory engineers that designed your motorcycle, car, personal watercraft, snowmobile, quad, trike or marine outboard, ColorRite paints are ideal when you need to patch small dings and chips, or when the entire vehicle is being painted for a return to new.
ColorRite’s website offers paint options for vehicles built in the 1990s and newer, and can provide exact factory colors for vehicle built as far back as 1960. If there’s a specific color you need and you can’t find it here, drop us a line and we can probably get it for you anyway. Available sizes range from touch-up pens to quarts, and you can specify exactly how much your bodywork professional will need."

Colorite is an awesome place to get paint from with a very helpful customer service staff. Their paint matches spot on. You do pay a Premium though...

hmm.. thats interesting. Being that I have been a painter for over 12 years I can say that I am a bit skeptical. Not saying their colors do not match (not familiar with that line of paint) but no two cars are the same color exactly believe it or not. It all depends on if the vehicles were produced in the same plant and how close they were on the production line as to how close they are in color to each other. I will say that bikes on the other hand I am not sure about but in terms of vehicles there are sometimes literally 7-10 different mixes for the same color, year, etc. Take gm pickups for example and the color pewter. In ppg and DuPont there are many different mixes for that color with all different tones, metallic sizes etc. You could have two rigs in the shop with the same paint codes and the one mix you make may not match both or heck either one it very well may be that it sprays out way off from both! Just in case you were curious...lol..
