Default New custom graphics for the KLX

It's been a while since i posted anything, so i thought id show you my new graphic kit
I found this guy on craigslist, so i called him and told him what bike I had,
well no surprise he didn't have any patterns for our bike, so we arranged to meet so he could make some.
Ryan's a really nice guy took his time tracing out the template's and getting to now what i wonted on my bike,
A few days later he sent me a e-mail with a design, I made a small change, and after a few emails back and forth he sent me a proof that i liked, he even offer to help me install them if i had any trouble.
All in all not bad for a $150 cdn.

A link to help you find him.

Very Nice job!

Custom all the way!

I was going to get some black plastics, but might have him make me a set of them instead

What front fender is that? Does it match up with the Kawie green?

I like the head light too! What is that from KLX 09?

Motard rules!

Thanks, you just have to be careful I screwed up the right side number plate
so i think i will get him to make some more with numbers on this time.
The headlight is off a 06-07 KLX 450.
And the fender is a Acerbis SM , it matches up very well with the green.

Thanks for the info!

Was the light a simple switch out, or did it need tweaking?

Also what are the black fork guards from or did you paint them?

Thanks again!

And the fork guards are part of the graphic kit.
I just painted the guards to match the graphics

Bike looks great, but what's up with the huge rectangular mirrors? Seems to throw off the sleekness of the design. Does the headlight have hi and low beams?
