So my 93 is purple. Chics dig it. I don't. How common is this color? If it's "rare" I'm going to put silver stripes on it to tie it all together (vinyl probably). Or..... what I want to do: paint it a polished aluminum color w/ a gold tint. Various parts of the bike have a similar color, like the valve covers, wheels, etc. Is this common on Vmax's also?

I had a buddy back in the early 90's who painted his VMAX purple with chrome stripes on the faux looked sharp
 
The 93's are considered by some to be a shade of purple it looks blue to me.
The factory might have even called it purple[I think I heard somthing like that]

Like everything else you do to your bike, do what suits your taste best. If you like the current color, keep it, if not paint it. My Max is a silver/blue metallic, I love, wife hates it. Its my bike therefore it stays this color. Now I have been looking at doing an entirely new set of skins something different (actually thought of a deep purple muscle car color or British racing green and black), put on a new USD front end, and interchange whenever I felt like I wanted something different.
