Post by: chap on December 13, 2007, 10:48:17 AM

  I know that there was a company quite a few years ago that made any color plastic for your ride,but i cannot remember the name of the company.Anyone know what the companies name is or if it is even around anymore.

 Yeah they make black and flo green.The company i m talking about made different colors.If you wanted a blue kawi they had blue plastic etc.This was probably about 5 years ago when i seen the ad.They must not be around anymore or have stopped making it.Thanx for the reply

UFO plastic has all the colors you would be looking for, but you have to call and ask if it is not listed on the site.  My KX250 is all white.

This is fantastic! I hope these other color schemes arestill available. Imagine an all purple KX! Or maybe a baby blue with the blue on the forks? I like it when people can't figure out what it is.

I remember seeing the ad for "all colors" plastics, was quite some time back, forget the name. I think they went under or got sued. Some of the more popular manufacturers like UFO, Acerbis, maier, clark I beleive are under license to copy bodywork and also under obligation to only make them in company accepted colors. So nowadays your pretty much confined to green, flo green, black, and white....or paint them yourself (which doesn't last long)...or custom graphics that cover the entire pieces.

I contacted maier one time and asked them to make me fender in a certain color, they refused. I said whats the big deal? You already have the colored plastics beads and the molds, you couldn't take a box of my color over to the correct mold and make it? They said, technically, yes, but no they won't do it, before I could say anything else they hung up on me.
