Kawasaki uses candy lime on many of it's bikes.Not disappointed of that at all buddy; not that kind of guy. I'm disappointed it's a TRI-COAT color, since it's very hard to match. And to obtain a ONE-STEP touch-up paint. Thank you for that link, but it's not what I'm looking for. Did you notice the 'requires base coat #1225' in bold, red letters? Useless for touch-ups.
Sorry to disappoint you, but Kawasaki used That color on many bikes.

For some reason, the one I saw looked very different. But knowing now it was an '08, probably lots of sun fade over the years. If it was 'Candy Lime Green', then it should be the exact identical color/process of my bike IMO.

Actually, that link IS what you're looking for if you want to buy touch-up paint for your bike.Yeah, I know. But it's absolutely useless for rock chips and such. I tried it before on a car, and looked awful. Better than white primer, but not even close. The 'base' coat alone would fill the chip. Then you need to apply the top coat. And then a tinted clear. Can't do that on a freaking chip. The only solution is to just apply the top coat, but it definitely wouldn't match the paint. But if I get a chip that bothers me, and this bike also has a white or black primer, will reluctantly buy it so it looks better than white or black. Thanks again for your help.
what color is the rear shock and spring on your '15?... black and silver respectively as in previous years or something different?Happy to help. The shock is dark gray, and the spring dark metallic (flaky) gray. That doesn't necessarily mean they're different. They could be the same, but the preload mechanism definitely changed. Remember the preload setting for 2014 is 13 out of 28 'clicks'. My 2015 is 10 out of 24 clicks. So it could be that the preload just ramps up quicker, since if you get both ratios, are almost the same. The only way to find out for sure would be knowing the spring ratio. Is there a way to know that? Since the preload changed, the p/n probably changed too, but that doesn't mean the shock and spring did. Hope this helps a little.

Another touch up option is using The Model company, Tamiya TS52 spray paint. Its very close. Spray some on a piece of paper, then find a small brush. Its way easier than the three bottle system everyone else has.Awesome find. I already ordered one. I always prefer spray paint, and do what you suggested for small chips. And if you want to paint a small part or a larger touch-up, you can do it. Many thanks.

Hey gang, few questions, if you can help:
1. Want to buy tank/fairing knee protectors, but prefer clear.
I have this tank protection on my C14 https://thetankslapper.biz/oc/index.php?route=product/product&path=59_69&product_id=154 I have not installed all of this on my bike yet. I am thinking of getting some pin stripping first.
Granted the headlight protection is somewhat difficult to install, but it is very nice once it is on. They also have a kit that has saddle bag protection.
After those 3 items, I'll be pretty much done with the bike
So you think For example- have seen no mention of removal/disable of secondary butterflies...
Or a seat, or exhaust, cruise control, GPS, tires.
After those 3 items, I'll be pretty much done with the bike,
YUP!....Cruise Control is a must have for me....if you do any traveling, it sure is nice.
