2007 KLX250S Refresh--Need Advice

I just picked up this (07 KLX250S) new bike to me. The previous owner spray-painted all of the Plastics. And put permanent marker on the seat to try to cover some of the green.
I need advice on some budget-friendly Plastics and seat cover. I also need mirrors and a new gas cap. I have a limited budget so please don't recommend most expensive stuff please. Any links or pictures would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

That paint job looks pretty good, why change?
I'd get new tires first if your going off road.

First I'd move somewhere that doesn't have all that white stuff laying on the ground:D You can get a new seat cover and foam from Seat Concepts https://seatconcepts.com/collections...-08-klx250-300 the rest of it looks good to me.

plastics for that year is pretty cheap and after market supported, just search around

See what it would cost to have a local auto upholsterer make you a cover. You could also modify the seat shape if you wanted.

Buy some aerosol paint stripper and see what condition the plastic is under the paint. I used it on an old IT Yamaha that had been painted and it didn't hurt the plastic.

Excellent suggestion I will probably try that. Thank you.

Or just take it out back and rub some dirt on it :)

And wouldn't you know it, I just threw away some mirrors last weekend when I was cleaning out my shed :(

I Ebayed the Chinese fork gaurds. I ordered white, but got a translucent pair. Bolt holes needed slight adjusting and you don't really notice the off color. Price was right.

Also for the white number plates, and headlight shroud,auto parts stores sell spray paint for vinyl plastics. Don't know how long it will last, but touch up is easy.
