KLX250S plastics from Maier Manufacturing
ORIGINAL: markturbo
Yup, I don't understand the white, the only thing white left on my bike now is the sticker on the headlight housing and the rear brake caliper guard.

Funny I looked at the TO: field in my e-mail and guess what? Whoops.....EDIT: I didn't want to publish everyone's e-mail, but it was addressed to 9 addresses.

Hey guys,
I sent an e-mail a few days ago to Maier Mfg asking them to support the KLX250S by making plastics for us, i.e., side panels, shrouds, etc. While some KLX300R parts fit, the left side panel and shrouds are notably different. Anyway, they sent me an e-mail back stating that they would forward the request on up the chain. I'm thinking that if they get enough requests, maybe they'll support us. If you are interested in plastics that are about 1/4 the cost of OEM Kawasaki plastics, please go to their web site at http://www.maier-mfg.com and click on "Company", "Contact", then click on the Feedback "Click here" link. There you can fill out a short feedback form and ask them to support our bike.
I have the Maier KLX300R MX style rear fender and the quality is every bit as good or better than OEM. This would be a great source to replace broken shrouds, fenders, etc, not to mention that they typically offer several colors so folks can perhaps finally get the black side panels that seem so popular. But they aren't going to do it unless there is business justification, i.e., unless they see a demand for it. So let them know you want it and they will most likely make it.

I have replaced all my plastics for less than 200 bucks, shipped and taxed all the way to Seychelles. The plastics and all other spares for the KLX are manufactured in Thailand. Stuff is cheap as chips over there. A friendly forum member purchases stuff for me in Thailand and ships it to me. I just give him beer money, and he is not even that thirsty. ( by my standards anyway)



Keep sending the requests! Eventually she'll cave.
