Anyone had any luck finding white side panels yet. I am in need of new panels and do not want to repurchase green ones. Thank you in advance.

You know I'm still running my old ones,but in my www.motosport.com catalog it says "OEM exact colors" for there plastic kit,KX500 includes- front&rear fenders,radiator shrouds and side panels for$119.95.I havent called to make sure they are white side panels,but if there not then there not OEM exact for the newer 500 as they say in the ad.I do know indivdually they only have green side panels.

Mike,

The guys at Cycle Salvage in Redding have had white ones on hand in the past. If you're still sticking out on this, call me and I'll get you a set of O.E.M's for a deal.

If your side panels are in good shape (not broken) and you're just looking to spruce up your scooter, buy white sheets of background and cut to fit.  This will give you the "new" look without the cost.   This year, I decided to use black background instead of white on my side panels, but the boy still wanted white for his KX125.

I called Acerbis today they have dropped the KX500 line, they will no longer supply plastic for this particular bike. He said UFO will continue but I cannot find a website for them.

Well I did even more research and UFO makes a white fender for the 03 and 04 only, Does anyone know why these wont fit an older model. The KX500's have come with white fenders since 1997 and I cannot find one person to sell me a set even OEM from a Kawi dealer. Here is a little history I found.

You must mean White Side Panels; HOWEVER!!!!

The White Fenders from the White KDX's of 1989 DO FIT the K5...how's that for Kawi Trivia? (BTW...There where some Red KDXs sold in other markets at that time...and...Blue...)

This looks like a problem that needs to be solved.
