I'd like to see additional reviews of fitment/quality. Would love of OP would write back with a long term review (brittle?)

Just ordered a set of shrouds from the Chinese/HK seller. They advertise shipment in ~17 working days. Will follow up with pics once they arrive.

Plastic arrived from China today only 10 days after ordering. Not bad.

Decals come in the box but aren't installed on the shrouds:

The plastic is very nice.. glossy, no imperfections, and the bolt holes line up.

Were the graphics in your photo included with the plastics? Doesn't list them in the linked eBay ad so just curious. Thanks!!

Two year update on the Chinese radiator shrouds. The good: the plastic itself survived a couple of minor tip overs. The bad: the plastic has faded noticeably even though I store my bike inside a garage with no windows.

The formula used for the chinese plastic is not very UV resistant, so, be prepared for major fadage from new. More so if you keep your bike outside much.

I'm ordering some used D-Tracker radiator shrouds from Japan right now. The color is either blue or purple, can't tell - but they were priced nice and looked brand new. These have a slightly different shape than the OEM 07 KLX250s shrouds too, which I'm kinda liking.
