    Is winning red from an 08 red black blade the same as victory red as you find on a 2015 HRC coloured blade.

    Im looking at nuying a seat cowl for my hrc but see the paint colour is described differently.

    I would say they are quite different.
    Winning red code R258
    Victory red code R334

    Honda tend to be a company that does not change things unnecessarily so I too would assume different, or sufficiently different that might be noticeable side by side as in seat cowl.
    I picked up a "chinese" pillion cowl that is a good match. Could probably supply source with a but of a hunt if of interest. Mike 20201102_101827.jpg 20201102_101809.jpg 20201102_101815.jpg

    That dont look too bad Mike and i agree side by side they could at least look different enough to annoy me everytime i looked at it. I see there loads of cheap cowls on e bay but would prefer an oem if i could find one. Not for £200 thats a piss take. Going to check paint codes with a specialist tom for a definitive answer.

    Cheers guys. I spoke with a specialist bike paint co today akd winning red is a brighter more vibrant colour compared to victory red so you were right. Got to find a victory red seat cowl...
