Green plastic?

Has anyone put Kawi plastic on their bike? I've been thinking it would be fun to go with a KDX headlight, and KX fenders with the white side panels. The only thing that would require thought would be the shrouds. Maybe go with black shrouds, and see which graphics would look good with the green.

I just think it would take some folks by surprise. As if the bike isn't unique enough as it is. I'm just kind of tired of people asking about how I got a headlight to work on my YZ. This would just tweak it a little bit, with the side benefit of the durability of green plastic. In my experience, green plastic stays looking good for longer than any other color.

arghhh! putting trailer park clothes on a classy dame, say it isn;t so!! :eek: :confused:
 
tm enduro,
I agree completely and am looking to do the same thing with mine. I love my gasser with the only exception being the plastic - seems flimsy. I think that green would look awesome! I've seen where the parts cross over says for the front fender - 97-01 KX and the rear says 94 - 98 KX. Let me know if you find anything out and I'll do the same.
 
same here... I want to change colors too!... tired of my scarred-up blue plastic and peeling stock graphics...

I've seen that Polisport makes plastic for GG but can't seem to find an online dealer who sells it... While they don't appear to have green plastic for GG, if you want to change to red, blue, black, or yellow, they can accomodate for most recent years... I understand all colors fit all the ECs no matter what displacement you have...:D
 
The rear 94-98 kx fender fits perfect. For the front I have run a CR, KX and I have a YZ fender waiting to replacew the one on the bike now. Green would not be my first choice but go for it. I would really like some white but the shrouds are the hold up.

Go fasters had some, if I recall corectly one of them told it wan't quite uo to snuff, perhaps one of them will chime in.

I get the same thing with my yellow plastic....At the E Street Hare Scramble a few weeks ago, I got the "That is a cool RM with stainless steel frame":eek:

I'd like to change colors also. If I was to green then I'd be labled as a KDX:eek:
 
I have put kx white fenders and side panels on my 99 ec200 with blue shrouds put some simple gaggas stickers on looks real good all kx bits fitted well and are of good quality will get some pics up soon all the hassle of finding gg plastic(uk) with i had done it sooner.
 
graphix for gas-gas

Powersport graphix has very high quality, sharp looking kits for gassers. Theidr graphix kits are a little pricy-but well worth it. If you get the full kit-practically all plastic is covered--they even put your name and numbers on number panels. Very pleased with mine:)
 
I may be in the minority on this one but I always loved the look of that Kawi green. Its a muscle car thing I think with the sassy grass green paint color of the mopar cars of the late 60's and early 70's.

I don't know if I would want a Gas Gas in that green though. ;)
 
anyone know what the spanish national racing colors are??

Red and yellow!!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_international_auto_racing_colors

I wonder if they choose red as the livery color because it was the spanish racing color. I wonder if the red they used is the right shade of red?? I bet you could come up with some cool looking limited edition bikes using the right shade red and yellow national colors. Bet it would have a kind of retro 70's isde feel!!

hmmmmm!! (insert pondering smilie thing here)

flag info http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_Flag

Even has the official color formula!! Scroll Down a bit. Does that look like the current gas gas red??

Car is suppose to be red with a yellow hood, bonnet for the euros
hmm lets see yellow front fender, red shrouds with some yellow in place of the top of the black gas tank. Red side panels w/yellow number fields and a red rear fender .... not sure about that yellow front fender
 
Green huh? I like it. The shroud plastic on my '05 is black. Get some and take a piece of the grean plastic to a sign shop purchase some green sheet vinyl that matches and you are set.

I used Graphic MX for custom graphics in the past and was pleased with the graphics.

Love that shroud graphic loosenut looked on the website but would cost me around 132 dollars to get shipped to england :mad:
 
Wow, this post sure took off.
Reasons for the green idea:
I knew '98 KX plastic would fit.
Green doesn't get that "hammered dog $#@!" look nearly as quickly as other colors.
I like green.
No one would wonder about it being a KX, they'd think it was a KDX.... With a boat load of money thrown down on Ohlins suspenders and oh that beautiful swingarm.
There's nothing like someone thinking they've been toasted by a dude on a girls bike!
 
My dream is a gasser with dark green graphics on black plastic and green anodized wheels. That wood rock and not look like any other bike. - Ken
 
That sounds like a very nice looking combo. Unfortunately, black is the worst color as far as looking beat up quickly.
 
Green plastic

I like the idea of changing the colour cause hardly anyone around here knows what a GAS GAS is or what country they come from.I've just recieved my 08 BALLARDS off road catalogue and inside its got some new type of vented front fenders in a range of colours, here's the web site www.ballards.cc make sure don't put dot com or you might end up in porn.LOL:cool:
