White plastics for 2003 except tank

modernbeat · Dec 20, 2011

I've got a clear tank for my 2003, so that and the shrouds are taken care of. But is there a white front fender, headlight shroud, and rear fender-numberplate available? Crossover to KTM? Looks like some of the small KTM dirtbikes might have the same rear fender. Also looking for a blue seat, or seatcover.

I have a blue seatcover I don't need. I got a Gutz tall seat foam and new cover shortly after I bought the bike.
There's 130 hours on the seatcover, and the previous owner was a about 150lbs so it's in good shape and it's clean. 2005 FS 650 (it was a street only seat).

Front fender should be easy. The rear section, not so much.
Though I think I've seen a berg in white somewhere on the interweb.

Where do you live Modern? It helps to recommend suppliers and is nice to see the berg all round the world.

I'm in Dallas, Texas. But I'm willing to have parts shipped if necessary.

I've seen a pre 2009 with white plastics, but I believe a lot of it was painted. And painted plastics don't work in the dirt. If anyone knows of a white rear section (fender and number plates) that would work, even if it has to be modified a little, let me know.

May I ask why a painted plastics don't work in the dirt? I just signed up recently so I still don't know stuff like this. Hope you don't mind me asking those question. :mrgreen:

Simple answer is that plastic flexes when beaten and bashed (like falling off/over in the dirt) and paint does not flex at the sam e rate as plastic. therefore the paint tends to chip,crack and flake off the plastic under duress.

Not so much of a problem on the street as it tends to hurt more when hitting the tar so we avoid it more!

Hope this helps.
