Plastics Interchangeability
« on: August 09, 2009, 02:12:09 PM »
I have a 91 KX5 that ill be tearin apart this winter. I can only find some of the plastis in black. I cant find black side panels or front fender. I have found black plastics for a 96 KX5. Are they the same bike basically? Cause they look to be the same plastics in pictures. Also this is probably a dumb question. I really like the acerbis evo sm front fender. Could i run this off road? Would it hurt? Id like to. Thanks alot

if anyone is interested. I did the kx250 rear fender on my kx5 and heres how it turned out. These are before and after. Since the first few pics i have added a fmf powercore pipe, sprocket o-ring and seal, fx seat cover, kx250 fender, and a reg aluminum colored rear wheel.

BEFORE:



AFTER:





Ya its dirty sorry. I did the fender right after getting home from riding all evening.
