Radiator shroud variations

afritts4u:
My bike came with a set of black and green shrouds. I have been running the black ones. They always seemed super flimsy so I tried the green UFOs that also came with the bike. They actually stick out about 2inches wider than the Black Acerbis. They are much stiffer and have an additional baffel that directs more air. Not a mojor mod but something worth noting!

KXcam22:
Interresting. I compared my black UFO to the stock ones and they were almost the same in size and how far they stuck out. Cam.

hughes:
I have bought all new UFO Plast plactic's for my 87 500 and they are the closest to O.E.M parts.

Ramski:
Seems backward to me.  I have OEM, UFO and Acerbis shrouds.  OEM and UFO are same, but the Acerbis are much different.

afritts4u:
The UFO right side shroud (when sitting on the bike) sticks out 1 1/2 inch wider (I measured) than the Acerbis. The Left side is only about a 1/2 inch wider.  This is plastic and Im sure some variations just from MFG, heat shipping ext can occure, but Im a definitaly a fan of the UFO. Just wish I could get an all black UFO plastic kit.
