My 1978 Kawasaki KZ650 is Orange, Im being told it's not a Kwak 650 colour, so what but, it's an USA model & Kawasaki 1000 came in the same Orange. The U.S. owner must have had it sprayed Orange & Orange is part of the bikes history now. To me History of an item more important to me than history of a model.

When my 2006 1200 K6 Suzuki Bandit has a Turbo fitted no one will comment on originality for another 36yrs I don't expect.

Doesn't matter if YOU want to cut 3" off the barrel Rob, it's your rifle. Different peoples views that's all.
I'm really enjoying the rifle Dave and I dare say it may suffer other such horrific modifications in the future too
Its shooting particularly nice at the minute.
I may well go down the custom stock route at some point.
I guess its just one of those rifles I want to make "just mine"
