Has anyone found a good colour match for the green paint used on the calipers by chance? I've just stripped mine to clean and a lot of the paint has flaked off so they really need to be painted. Toying with the idea of painting them black but then it's not original...

Also may as well rebuild them while they're off - can't seem to locate any aftermarket supplier of rebuild kits for these calipers but I assume they are the same as some other Kawasaki calipers off more popular models? Otherwise I'll try my luck with genuine.

As always appreciate any advice from those with more experience of this model.

Cheers, Richard.

Thanks Doug, picked up genuine seals from my local Kawasaki shop - so used to sourcing complete kits via aftermarket and assumed that would be the easiest route - not with this bike it seems.

Looks like I'll be off to the paint shop to match the paint - unless I go with black... Might even paint one black to see how it looks...

My calipers are a sort of dull gold colour. I repainted them with random gold paint but they look a bit 'bling' so next time I'll put more effort in.

Im thinking of getting an after market hood, are there any good shops in Waco that would be able to paint match it for a decent price?
