Hey! I was going through some sites and found an interesting Japanese Online Motorcycle Store.. Best part is, the site is in English..

They have the Japanese Trick parts for the KLX... The eye catching blingy stuff and the really nice Japanese Performance parts...

You'll should defintely have a look at it, they have stuff for ALOT of Japanese and NON-Japanese bikes..

i don't have any spare yen right now.
i don't even know the exchange rate.

 

I kinda like these graphics but 3 million yen, come on.

 

You dont want to know the Yen rate. Down right crappy for our side.

 

They are 24,500 yen, $301.

Where did you get 3 million from?

 

Still too much, considering that I hit too much stuff to keep them in good shape. They have dozens of cool looking kits

 

You can get the price directly in US $ on their website..

 

I might be willing to spend a few bucks doing a graphic kits for a motard version or such, but dirt bikes are way too hard on plastic and decals IMO to spend a bunch of money on bling like that. I've seen some pretty nice graphics kits on dirt bikes used for real dirt riding, and frankly I think the bike looks worse after just a few mishaps and abrasions than the stock plastic looks after the same abuse. There may be nothing uglier than a bunch of scratched up decals as compared to "roughed up" plastic. If the graphics were a cheap purchase that could be reapplied occasionally, they would provide good protection along with good looks to the original plastic. However, these kits are almost always extremely expensive.

Maybe an alternative would be some of that vinyl wrap material that you see on work trucks/vehicles that some sign companies and body shops sell. Those kits are also somewhat expensive in a completed kit, but the material itself isn't too bad. You wouldn't have all the custom cut and fit panels to fit a specific bike, but the protection and "fresh" look of your bike could be maintained. I used some of this material to add highlights to my last KLR650, and it worked fairly well. I just cut some shapes and colors in different patterns. I had bought new, undecaled plastic parts to change the color from the original army green model that I hated. I saw one guy do most of a KLR650 with a roll of that vinyl material in a nice "tree leaf", camo pattern, and his bike turned out pretty cool looking. I bought a roll of that vinyl material for about $50 for a several yard roll. It will eventually get scraped up and abraded, but you can just peel it off and apply new material. It may not look as cool as a $300 graphics kit, but it serves a purpose and is affordable. Just a thought for an alternative.

 

good find. now only if i could find a site like that that stocks mugen/spoon parts (of which i cant even afford).
