Hey all,
New member here. I have an 89 KX250 project that I've been working on. I've been searching for a decent seat cover and graphics but haven't found anything besides the travelcade(I think) blue cover. Which I don't want that god ugly neon blue that it has now. I think I could deal with the darker blue but I was hoping to find something either black, or black and green. Of course I haven't seen the one's on ebay in a while but I'm suspect of their quality anyway. I was wondering since the 89 250 has the same frame/body as the 500 if a seat cover for a 500 would work? It seems I have limited options going strictly off of my model/year alone.
As for graphics it's not a must have by any means but if I could just find something simple and cheap that would be great. I don't need the whole Monster, Metal Mulisha, etc junk. I guess I could probably get something off of the generic Kawasaki packs. Would 500 graphics work here as well. Again this isn't a must have but more I'd like to know. I think I'm just going the generic KX kit and throwing a couple stickers on the shroud to spruce it up a bit.

500 seat cover is a direct fit. 500 graphics will fit the shrouds, but may need slight trimming on the tank graphics due to the smaller capacity 250 tank.

Thanks for the help guys I appreciate it.
I ordered myself a new seat cover tonight as well as other things like grips, new levers, etc. I think the graphics are going to wait. The plastic on there now has seen better days. It's not cracked but it's faded some and has some scratches. I may order a plastic kit and graphics this winter and just keep em in the box if I ever decide to sell it.
Overall I'm pretty happy with the bike. I put a new bottom end in the bike as well as a decent clutch basket I found on ebay in her and she's mechanically fit now. Of course I needed new chain, sprockets and tires, but lets be realistic it's a dirt bike those are parts that need to be changed periodically, no matter what you ride, so I can deal with those costs. For being nearly 20 years old the bike has a real nice motor and I can live with the conventional forks as a trail rider. Maybe one day I'll try MX some and find a pre-90 race or two to take it too.
