Where is the banana and blueberry color scheme? or ketchup and mustard?

But in terms of "mod" the only obvious changes are the muffler and wheels. Any idea what else was changed in this? Most stuff is hidden in a K1 anyway.

Wheels are different. I thought the muffler had been changed but I see from other photos tht the muffler on the K1 is infact round (not square as other 4 cylinder bricks).

Lowered, especially the front.  Originally graphics only aligned when weighed down with a rider.

Has tiny bar end mirrors instead of stock handlebar mirrors. Without the stock mirrors you could grind down the nubs for the steering lock and get a smaller, better turning radius.

And they painted the paralever strut silver too.

There is something else funky going on up front.  Check 1st pic, looks like there is something attached horizontally to the front axle.  Also there is not the same gap between the front fairing and the front fender, and you can see this in both the 1st pic and the side view pic.  Possibly lowered the stance to remove that gap?

Something funky is going on there, plus the lower fender has been chopped, could be photoshopped

Could be an axle slider.

The wheels and front brake rotors are not stock.

Factory wheels are 3-spoke like K100RS4V and K1100RS.
