Just about all the companies have stop making the graphic kits for the 500. The factory effex is your best bet. Try e-bay. Last time I was on FMF web site they still had a graphic kit.

I checked the FMF web site no more kits for the 500, but I would call them they might have old stock lying around.

nice, look good with the yellow backgrounds. how do you like the kickstand? does it bounce down? or get caught on anything? thinking about getting 1, but don't want to poll vault thru a corner.

I like it. Good quality, folds up behind the number plate, and installs easily.

As an alternative, I went to a local graphics shop. For $25 they printed me out a pair of stickers (your choice) that I then cut to fit on the rad wings. I went with a simple flag but they had lots to choose from. Check out my gallery for pics. Cam.

Got the FMF kit friday and after about 2 hrs of trying to figure a way to make this kit fit my bike I faced the fact that they are not going to work. I gues I will keep them and hope I get a newer 500 soon.

bummer, you couldn't heat em with a blow dryer and get them to stretch?
it seems like they could be heated and razor bladed to work...hmmm....
