Title: White Side Panels
Post by: Atlantickaw on April 30, 2017, 09:56:20 AM: Hey all ,

Does anyone know where to get some a set of white side panels for my 1996 KX 500. I have scoured the internet looking for aftermarket ones but they are all green. Thanks

It was the only OEM vendor that showed it as a possibility to order, for OP buy UFO side panels & put white decals on it & it will look nice.

Sorry if my info was wrong, I was trying to contribute to the site as I am saving up to go over to the dark side CR :) but my son owns a 1998 K5, he went with UFO side panels KX green then put white decals on and it looks great.
