Has anyone found a good colour match for the green paint used on the calipers by chance? I've just stripped mine to clean and a lot of the paint has flaked off so they really need to be painted. Toying with the idea of painting them black but then it's not original...
Also may as well rebuild them while they're off - can't seem to locate any aftermarket supplier of rebuild kits for these calipers but I assume they are the same as some other Kawasaki calipers off more popular models? Otherwise I'll try my luck with genuine.
As always appreciate any advice from those with more experience of this model.
Cheers, Richard.

Thanks Doug, picked up genuine seals from my local Kawasaki shop - so used to sourcing complete kits via aftermarket and assumed that would be the easiest route - not with this bike it seems.dougindoors wrote:seals are stillavialble gpz 750 are the same i think i have resealed mine check the part no's on tims site as for the paint ?????? green? i think its gonna be a match job 2 pack is the way forward cos they are ali.
Looks like I'll be off to the paint shop to match the paint - unless I go with black... Might even paint one black to see how it looks...

My calipers are a sort of dull gold colour. I repainted them with random gold paint but they look a bit 'bling' so next time I'll put more effort in.

Match for Green caliper paint aftermarket seal supplier
Im thinking of getting an after market hood, are there any good shops in Waco that would be able to paint match it for a decent price?
