back then they had one green street bike and I think it was either a 750 or 1000 and it was a race replica, had a friend that had one. Only other Kawasaki's that were green were motorcross

Wheel Stripes

I had ordered some rim stripes from the dealer but they did not come in with correct one . Any good ideas on where I can get some good looking rim stripes that will match or least closely match, my candy lime green Ninja ?

Now you just need to open up the airbox, get a jet kit, and get some sticky rubber and you'll be ready for the track!
