Stock colors

[dwd58]

Stock colors I have seen for the Intruder are : Gold and Black, Maroon and Black, Green and Black, Black, Blue and Black
For the S83 I have only seen Black.
Any colors I am missing?

[enforcer]

Tons. They changed the color schemes every few years.

My 99 is silver and black.
My 87 was a color called Wineberry.

While looking for the above links I came across a road test of the 1400, from Cycle Magazine 1987. Kinda interesting, it is pretty good.

I know some stock colors were for even only one year....1996 only time the bone and teal where together...

[dwd58]

That bone and teal is nice. Never saw that one

In North America there was a colour change every year as far as I know. Black has been available every year & is also available in a different colour or variation on the scheme. For example the 2003 VS 1400 was Silver with a beautiful Blue & in 2004 it was the same silver but paired with a Purple/Wine colour

I've got the Teal one too....it's actually Bluish Teal and Milky White. 96 only scheme. They actually did sell quite a few.

The blue and pearl is my 97, blue and silver is an 03. Personally, I like the blue and pearl.

Does anyone know when they switched engine colors? Or is it an optional thing? My 97 has a silver engine, on the 03 it is black.

I never thought they did.

I was going to ask how you ride with buckhorns? That's the first thing I change on every bike that has them.

I think Buck horns are by far the most comfortable handlebar

I think the last year of the silver engine was 98, 99 had the blacked-out engine

Buckhorns work for me too....beach bars twist my wrist kinda the wrong way, and drag bars require me to lean forward....somehow leaning on a cruiser seems to be at cross purposes. If you want a sport bike, buy a sport bike.

I go dragbars on my bikes. Most natural hand position I have found. If you get a pulled back enough riser they work great.










Now back to the original poster.....

Everyone knows that emerald green with pearl pluto was the fastest and best.

I have been riding with the buckhorns for 3 years now, and have gotten used to them. In a tight turn, like a U-turn, I throw my knee out as the bars bring the elbows in too close.

That green is really beautiful. What year is it?

Hmm, yeah, if you can get them to come to papa, then they are good.

As far as handlebars go, I was thinking of switching to mini-apes; I think they are 10 inch. Anybody ever gone that route? Pics would be nice.
