I got the notion to change the color of my bodywork after non-VMax people kept asking what year my Harley is... I figured NOBODY would mistake it for a Harley if it's Kawasaki green, and I like it. Purists: Before you send the lynch mob out, the bodywork is from a wrecked '98 that I recently bought for parts, and the original '85 dark red bodywork is carefully packed in boxes, along with the side covers.
