I realize there's maybe like 3 people in the world that know the answer to this question, but...
Any designer folks or whatever out there that might know what the Pantone equivalent (or even the hex values) of the orange stripes are on the 2023 GTS Super Sport?
I'm sure I could figure out a close hex code, but perhaps someone has a color calibration tool AND a GTS SS that could give it a go?

(I know. Not bloody likely...)

Using a digital color meter, I got the ballpark value from a selection of high-res photos. A body shop should be able to scan the decal and give you a more accurate match.

This will give you all of the codes of a given color. https://g.co/kgs/QuY9H2

Bug - would like to see pics of your mods to date. I have added smoke flyscreen, black levers, blacked out horn cover and Vespa side stand enlarger to date. Next up will be Rizomo bar end mirrors (ordered).

Not many mods so far. Just a rear rack and a Battery Tender cable. But next up is adding the same flyscreen as you have. I think that looks fantastic and I'm looking to reduce wind turbulence just a bit at highway speed. Does it seem to improve highway driving for you?

HA!!! I wish I had footwear company money.
I'm a web developer (in the nonprofit world) but have a background in print.

Bug, The tinted flyscreen was about $30 more than the clear one and I feel it was worth it for the looks alone. It definitely makes a difference versus no fairing. Your not fighting the wind nearly as much as without. You won't regret it, Scooterwest sells both the Vespa clear and tinted. Install was easy.

I'd be interested in what it took to install the battery tender lead. This is the first bike I've owned in a long time without one.

If you had asked for the CSI number, I would have assumed Beaverton. Coloro seems to be the hot buzzword for color.

Nice 2023 GTS.. non-profit web developer money can't bee too shabby!

Oh, it's completely simple. (I did it, so it must be)
Here's the part I used:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000NCOKZQ?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

Just take off the battery cover, feed the cable through an empty area at the back of the battery down into the guts of the bike and zip tie the plug to the frame, keeping it away from the exhaust. I can snap a photo of how I did mine later.
Attach the leads to the top of the battery and screw everything back into place. That's it. It's a 10 min job. Hardest part really is tucking the wires and the fuse neatly around the battery.

Here's what it looks like zip-tied. It's not visible if you're not looking underneath the scooter. Pretty easy.
Robot has a good video on it:

It takes a screwdriver with the appropriate head for the battery compartment screws and a HAS or Phillips for the battery terminal. Takes however long it takes you to remove and replace 6 screws.

If I can find my digital color scanner loop when my GTS comes back from its post cannonball service I can scan the actual strip for the Pantone, RGB and even possibly get paint brand/color names for it.

Bug - Looks pretty simple I will pick up one this weekend. This kind of intel is what makes this forum so helpful at times.

Attached another view of the fly screen from the front. Thanks - Doug

Is the fly screen worth the money? It looks so sweet.

Ours runs up above the engine under the seat. It stays clean and is protected from the weather. Some have even fed it into the under-seat storage bucket, AKA the pet carrier.

We like ours and think they're worth it. As a bonus, they help deflect bugs.

Yes. Worth it. Looks and functions great. Very stable even at wide open on the interstate for short jaunts.
