Scooterotica

I am currently restoring a DL200 electronic from January 1971 and want to know if the numbers on the gearchanger and the arrow on the headset were painted from the factory? if so which colour ?

Saw pictueres of an RLC restored DL200 scooter which had them painted in black. Other Restorations have them painted red.

Thanks

my late 69 dl125 has the numbers and arrow painted black. All in factory paint still.

thanks

^... agreed, whereas other models were painted red.

I don't know whether other later non-GP/DL models ever changed to black too (quite possible) but certainly all original paint DL/GPs that I've seen have had the gear change numbers in black.
