Stock colour 1978 KZ650B

Hi:
Does anyone have a picture of a 1978 KZ650B with original paint?

HI: I am adding to this original post. I ran into the fellow who sold me the bike. He used to own a 1978 KZ650 Custom. When he sold it the buyer preferred the colour of my KZ650B. So my bike inherited the metalic stardust silver of the custom.
thanks everybody for their help
John

Kawasaki also made an ebony colored B2

Gringo, something tells me that isn't a repaint on that one. It's a well kept bike that's for sure. ;) ;) ;) ;)

Milkman that was meant as a huge joke. That bike belongs to RonKZ who we all know would be more apt to loan you his wife than to ever ride let alone own a bike that has been repainted.

I saw the comment and right away thought he might be joking about my bikes.:laugh:
I try not to look in the paint forum too often because I get myself in too much trouble, mostly after a few beers. Ignor me on weekends and after a bad day at work which is about 355 days out of the year. I've done pretty decent lately, only one or two moderator warnings last month.:P I'm getting better anyway!
321,000 miles on KZ's that I can remember. Not going to see any more.

Ron, I guess I am a very lucky guy. I come home from work tired but not often do I have a bad day. Sometimes I deal with bad things but my job is to make them better .I am lucky in that sense I suppose. there are never days I dread going to work.
