Can anyone please tell me what my options are regarding plastics for my 2003 FE501E. I can't seem to find anything online, might be looking in the wrong places...
Basically I'm rescuing this bike from my brother and fixing it up as a winter project. I'm after black plastics and maybe an aftermarket headlight kit. I'm looking at going down the motard path as I'd like to use it as a road bike. The black plastics will determine the colour of everything else, so i'd like to know what i'm working with.
also are there any KTM or other 'berg plastics that will fit from other bikes?
cheers in advance for any help.
 
Plastics from -01 to -08 will fit as a straight swap. -06 to -08 has a new tank and radiator shrouds but the rest is the same as the other years. To mount the "new" shrouds you have to have the tank as well since the "new" shrouds does not fit the old tank.

so FE501E plastics for years 01-06 are a straight swap, but are there any companies making black plastics kits for the FE501E. From what i'm seeing FS/FE/FC are all pretty similar especially the rear fender, are they all a straight swap from one to another or subtly different.
I'm loving the all black look of some 2008 Husaberg FS 650C/E's.
cheers for the help

As stated by Ghost, the 06 - 08 have new tank and shrouds.
To go all black, I believe your only option is to go with factory plastic from the shrouds back. Not sure if black radiator shrouds were made for 01 - 05 but as you know, they were made for the 06 - 08 along with black tanks. I'm sure many KTM front fenders and headlight masks would fit your bike which opens an opportunity to save a few bucks with aftermarket parts.

The rear fenders are all the same from 2000 - 08 with no subtle differences.

Rick at BOSS is very helpful, knowledgeable and will dial you in.

awesome, sounds like a winner then, new tank and all it is then. now to work out what tank etc, do parts specifically the tanks from FS and FE fit each other? sorry if these are lame questions i'm newly in love with the 'berg machine so lots of learning to do.
at this point i'm thinking the 2008 FS450E black plastics and tank, just want to make sure there are no hidden surprises when i fork over the cash.
cheers again to all who help
