So iv'e finally got round to starting work on my ZXR400, and I have the opportunity to start afresh.
The bike was rattle can blue when I got it, and I got factory red/ black fairings when I crashed it, but I would like to put it back to its original paint scheme, the trouble is I can't seem to find any clues by the VIN number, is there any other way I can find out?
Cheers
Aidan

v5 should show the original colour from the manufacturer, if you know the year we can narrow it down to an exact colour scheme.
L1-L2 are one scheme, L3 is a little different, L4-L8 different again, and then L9 onwards. There are green and there are purple colour schemes as standard.
L1/2 have the blue triangle at the front
L3 replace that with a swish
L4-L8 its swishes all round
and L9 have a different style and colour swish
