Well the bike I am grabbing tonight is red. So its gotta be a custom paint job. I think I will skip replacing the side cover for now. I think I have an idea along the lines of the other members dog bowls/truck caps. Thanks all

I was surprised mine was shown as maroon on the docs as it looked too red to me.

I found this link - http://www.cyclechaos.com/wiki/Suzuki_LS650

which has the ('88) darker color as maroon in the suzuki brochure pics, and the red maroon in bike pics from '95, so all very confusing really!

Looks like maroon got redder in the nineties Undecided

Maroon. One of those words that seems sillier the more you see it.

Reply #7 - 03/04/09 at 22:24:34 The pic's really don't do the color justice. When I got it, oh dark red. Then I washed and waxed, OH BABY IT'S RED! It's a dark metalflake red, quite stunning.
