That's a bummer, they only have fork covers, front number plates and front fenders.

Where can I get rear number plates, a rear fender, and rad shrouds?  I found www.motosport.com and they carry them, but they're always out of stock...

can use 250 rear fender, saw the sheouds on some site, can't remember, haven't found black rear plates, might have to use some black number plate backgrounds, they have the sheet blanks out there that can be cut to fit.

I ordered some black shrouds from MX South. They haven't been delivered yet, but they claim it's in stock.

I ordered a set from them and got a "order confirmation report" and haven't got anymore mail from them since.

I'm now at the 10 business days they want before you try to ask about your order. guess I'll send them a mail.

That's great news.  I was worried they'd been discontinued!  I'll collect the other pieces in the meantime.  I don't like my white setup.

I haven't found a "kit" for the kx 500 but will use a monster energy sticker pack like the one industries version. I would prefer the kit that covers the whole shroud but don't know if I can find one. I made a example of how i want to lay it out. this picture is a photoshop.

tumbleweed-

are you satisfied with the plastics? The maier green look darker than usual. That is one of the main reasons I don't want to go with the green...everything appears to be a different shade. I figured a base of black and then use a custom decal with the color green I want. I am going to get one of those Xtreme-graphics decals, but custom.

I'm very happy with the ufo plastic, I got black shrouds and everything else kx green. the green looks identical to stock and the black is glossy.
