Title: Newbie
Post by: das on Tuesday, 28 April 2020, 12:14 AM
Hi all,

Hi my name is Darren and ive just bought my 1st 14 and happens to be my first suzuki. I rode a mates many yrs ago and loved it but had my xjr 1300 at the time and didnt feel the need to change. Having had various bikes after xjr got stolen i missed the grunt of a proper bike and this was on offer from a friend at a reasonable price.
So i may be after a few tips as it needs tidying up. Ive done a few that ive got from the forum ie pitted fork sliders and engine casings, Blackwidow pipes and collector. Next is undertray mod , but where can i get colour matched white from and blue to match tail plastic?
The main thing is the tank, its got a few dents and really lets it down in my eyes so is there somewhere i can send it to get done ??  Its an 03 and I'll try and put some photos up when i learn how to so dont hold your breath. Stay safe folks

@das I was looking through some old posts and I found one from notty in 2017 if they are still in business you can find them at :coffeescreen:www.dream-machine.co.uk.(tank repairs). Hope this helps.

Hi Das, welcome aboard mate.    Barmy is the man for undertrays & how about a tank cover instead of trying to repair the tank?

Hi all,
Thanks for the warm welcome.
Found the colour codes on here but where can i get the paint i need halfords?? Looked into colorite but think they're in the states so looking for some on our shores.

Looking at 03 colour scheme i noticed the rear tail fairing is white. Did this change during 03 at all to blue which is what i have?

Here ya go Das, check this out.  All the colour models throughout the years of production.  If yours is all blue, it could be a K2 but not licenced till 2003.  The VIN plate will say which model it is & also the year of manufacture.
