French ST70 Colours and lights

Just bought a 1979 ST70 in France (Frame is 6115691) and imported to Jersey, all running ok and ready to start restoring but 2 problems:-

1) Colour in the handbook is given as 'bleu saphir CN' and I can't find a corresponding Honda colour code, it looks a couple of shades darker then Candy Saphire Blue

2) It is a 6 volt model and has a 150mm headlight but it currently has a French yellow bulb 25/25w, the problem is that it is a BA21D fitting with 3 prongs in a Stanley headlamp, and I can't find one to replace it. Is it best just to get a 150mm lamp? (maybe a 12 volt one with 6 volt bulb)

By the way bike looks all original, both in colour and headlamp

Thanks in advance,

John

1) I assume both colours are the same, just translated in French. Bleu = Blue, CN = Candy
2) I can find the exploded view of the headlight on CMSNL, but not the part number of the bulb... http://www.cmsnl.com/honda-st70-france_ ... t/F14.html

Waynus,

Thanks for the quick reply, I've asked the board administrator to add a couple of photos so you can see the colour.

As far as light bulbs go I searched cmsnl but no luck. I'm trying French Ebay next.

Here are the pictures:

It's a lovely bike!
I do think it's the candy blue saphire.

For dealers around you for the bulbs, I'm sure others here can help you out.
