you may be able to find out from the chassis plate or from microfiches, what year is it?

yeah i had a look through the microfiches, swing arm on mine does have kis-arm on, but everything else has been changed. I was under the impression it should have had a black frame too, main colours would be nice to know lol

unfortunately i don't have the original microfiche book for the L3 model as the first couple of pages would tell you the colour scheme by frame number.get in touch with your local kwak dealer they should be able to tell you.

if its got the original fairings the back of them will give it away sand through the dusty layer of yer current base and you will hopefully see the dusty layer of the original colour.

The red black and grey came in in 1993.

There is another colour with a black frame in 1991 but i cant make it out as the picture is black and white :smt017 I think its a black and grey colour.

Found it, its a black and blue colour!
