Yeah, mine is '96 also. I am a Minnesota Vikings fan, so purple doesn't bother me. I did paint headlight fairing purple also, but had to strip it back off, was just too much ! Just redid top end in anticipation of big ride this summer in U.P. of Michigan with my son's. It has some good Jeff Fredette stuff on it. Other is '98 bought for youngest son. A little too much for him, so now he's on '14 Yamaha TTR 230. Other boy on '04 Honda CRF 230. Sissy youngsters can't handle the two strokes !!
