Default Help color matching

I have a 99 F4 color is that yellow and black

I currently just have a generic black and silver joe rocket mesh jacket. Looking at this yellow and black joe rocket honda jacket but im not sure if the color matches the bike in person.

Thanks

I think about the only way your going to get a good match is to go to a dealership that carries accessories and find a jacket that matches. Pictures never show the true color, and depending on camera, lighting, angle... can all make certain colors look way different.

Having said that, I believe your bike is more of an orangy like yellow, where that yellow "appears" to be really yellow.

BB, take it from a guy that's got a sunrise yellow bike like yours, I've never been able to find anything gear-wise to match it. My jackets are all mostly black.

Not that I'm anti-textile b/c I've got one but see if you can find yourself a good full leather jacket. Besides, in NY where you are, you'll be needing something warmer b/f too long. ;-)
