North America / Europe Color Swap?

I love my Tenere 700 in red. It's dope as heck and the paint is eye-catching. But if I'm being honest, I wish it were possible to swap my red parts with European red parts  anyone else think this is a feasible idea perhaps in the near future?

Perfectly possible to buy from a UK dealer the rear cowl and red decals, but would be cheaper to get yourS painted TBH.

I figured that might be another option, but yeah that's probably obscenely expensive to buy the rear cowl and fenders.

It's a lot harder than I thought to order the parts. I don't think Yamaha Europe ships their European parts to North America..

If you're interested,  I have Euro red speed blocks that I just received that aren't even close to matching the US red.  The vendor shipped them before confirming they would match the US red ( but they made things right). PM me if any interest.

Oh that's cool man. I still unfortunately haven't been able to buy any euro parts yet, so my bike is still North American red too, haha. Maybe someday soon when they start shipping euro fairings to America.. ¯\_("/)_/¯

I wonder why the US got a different color red? I loved the competition white/European version. That’s the one that I wanted, in the end I ended up getting the Ceramic Ice Version.
