TOPIC:

A little help? I've had this bike for a few years. Made some changes. not pictured is a slightly smaller back headlight bucket.
I need a change and have never been too keen on the color scheme that the previous owner chose. So, I was thinking of bringing the tank and side panels to a paint shop and giving them a new color.

Any suggestions for which color would look good?
I'm tempted to go with one of the original colors, but I'm not married to that idea. If you have any pics of colors that you think would work well, feel free to throw them up.

Thanks team.

Factory 650 Red and  Metallic Blue are great colors.

I like blue.  Ed

 

I've always liked a "Arrest me Red" color..Silver pinstripping or raceing stipe down the middle of the tank.

+1 on 650ed's suggestion for blue.

The '93 Honda CB750 Nighthawks were available in two colors, one of which was Candy Tahitian Blue.  It's as saturated a blue as in as 650ed's pic, but metallic.  Should be easily available.

Good Ridin'

If your staying stock pattern then there really is only one colour for a kawasaki, for a z650, its candy emeraid green.

If your going off piste I've just painted my R2 project a mazda colour soul red candy with a nod to elr stripes which came out quite nice.

Thanks for the help, Dave. Will do.

Okay, good suggestions. I like what you have going on with your red tank, Warren. ::applause::

I'm a fan of blue as well!

Here is another vote for blue.

I think my KZ650 was originally red, but by the time it got to me it had faded to a metallic orange.  I really liked the more orange parts (it was not a uniform color), and I figured if I ever I repainted it I would go with metallic orange.
