Need a little help...

Raining...again today...another day in the garage! I have a 99 xc300 and need to get some radiator guards. Force does not list my year model, does anyone know if they still make them for my bike or will other years fit. Also, need rear wheel bearings, is there a cross over? Thanks!

I don't know about the radiator guards, but the wheel bearing kits that Go Fasters sells are cheap enough I don't know that I'd be looking for a crossover. If you're looking to find them RIGHT NOW any good bearing shop should have them and seals, but in my experience it was considerably more expensive to go that route

Gofasters has always gotten me stuff in a couple days.

thanks for the help, I see the bearings on their site and I'm going to email them about my year model on the Flatlands radiator guards. I guess finding plastic for my bike will be near impossible huh?

Plastic is easy to get.
Use the '05 and up side # plates for an updated look.

I seen some older plastics on ebay, but the new plastics would look better. For the older bikes, Flatland or CRD radiator guards should be available. On my old 2001 XC250, I had the Flatland radiator guards and they worked well.

I was looking at some pictures here, and it looks like the bikes newer than mine have a different layout on the left side number plate. Mine comes all the way up into the airbox on the side, basically creating the sidewall of the airbox. It looks like the newer bikes have the airbox cover and the number plate as two separate pieces....any advice on this?

 

[gasgasman]

Yeah, you're right.
They went to a separate airbox side cover in 2001 (?)
I had a '98 and an '01 GG, so I'm always getting confused.

Your # plates and rear fender are the same as the Kawasaki KX's, circa 1998.
