Having Fun w/ my KX500

I like all of the colors. I'm not partial to one or the other. However, if you look closely at the chrome skull graphic, it is outlined in Kawasaki green and I took off the stock white mud guard and replaced it with a Kawasaki green one. So my intentions are good right ? As far as the yellow / red theme goes, I just got plain old crazy. I'm not very hip on it myself. The truth is, I'm not really a huge fan of Kawasaki or any other bike mfg for that matter. I just really love the KX500. I'd ride it if it were brown with orange pokadots...

Aye, the point is that plastics are cheap enough that you can do what you want with it without costing an arm and a leg :)
Try doing that with a sportsbike :lol:
BTW I bought myself Talon/Excel wheels direct from Talon in England (where I live) but mine have silver rims with black hubs and the sizes are 3.5" by 17" front and 4.25" by 17" rear (Supermoto sizes) so cost a bit more than MX wheels, I think that minus the discs and sprocket it came to ?485

I just rescently purchased an 04 kx500 and the only thing I did is added an reed vlave spacer and a 93 kx250 rear fender to change the looks of the bike. Your second picture of your bike in black looks good however, if you can get a 93kx250 rear fender in black, that would really make it stand out.

Yep, I've got both green and black in the KX-250 fender. For some reason, I just can't let go of the original KX-500 look. Regarding the wheels, if a colored rim is all you're looking for, I ran into some guys out at Beaumont the other day and this guy had a KTM with orange wheels. He had them both anodized for $100. I got some video, I'll try to post here in a bit.
