The Zephyr Zone

Hello, I might be wrong, but when I tried to get some paint for my engine and frame there was nothing available from kawasaki themselves and I don't believe they ever did any. Your best bet is to get a auto paint sprayer or supplier to match it. Maybe someone on here has had more joy? I used halford...

That is incredibly nice of you to do that, thank you so much for keeping the Zephyr zone alive!. I and I'm sure many others would happily contribute, I'll definitely buy you a drink if we ever get to meet up somewhere

Cheers eddie
