Man, first deej crawls out of the grave and now you show up. Did we have some kind of zombie apocalypse? Will we see you on an upcoming episode of "Walking Dead"?

What the heck have you been doing? Still own a KLX or are you one of those elite snobs with a foreign motorcycle now?...well...make that European instead of foreign...LOL!

Sorry, just seeing this post now. Use a heat gun or my choice, a propane torch. You can find a YouTube on this technique. Basically heat until liquid, then let dry. It's instant and easy, works fantastic. My advice is clean them as well as possible prior to the treatment. Use Ajax of whatever is needed to clean, don't worry about additional scratches, won't matter as they puddle up and go away.

did the heatgun on the black plastics worked like a charm. the white plastics are taking a little more effort.

LOL , still have the KLX, I do have the Husky TE250 also. KLX is the best all around bike, and still goes with to Colorado, but the Husky is my woods choice. I poke my head in and look here once in a while. Good to see some of the old guys still on here,,,,, AND some of the really old guys like TNC lol JK, always a good time.

Cool

Hi Dan! That bike needs a taillight to be legal. How's it going? Glad to see you're still up and around and not just slacking off.

Have you got another one N/P/R? LOL Good to hear from you too! That tail light you gave me is still shining bright on the trusty KLX.

Peabrain the bike looks great! pretty darn clean. Glad it worked out.
