I have yet to figure out why Kawasaki OEM plastics and other parts are so expensive. [:@] Doesn't make any sense to me.

I messed up one of my number plates bad last year and it cost me about $70 for a new one (it was the exhaust side and didn't think about it at the time that a klx300 aftermarket plate would have worked and been cheaper)! A complete set of all new, aftermarket black plastics for my CR was only 120 bucks! Doesn't make sense.

MAIER needs to get thier butts in gear and make replacement plastics for our bike, now its even worse i think because there is only 2 model years that kawi made plastics the same... 06-07 then they are different for 09.... so its highly unlikely for a plastic company to make our plastics... sucks.....

Don't forget, the decal/stickers will set you back another $75 or so. If the shroud's not in too many pieces, check out the Plastic Welding Kit from RockyMountainATVMC.com for $41.99. There's info on either this forum, ThumperTalk, or klxforum.suncup.net about how to use this welding tool on plastic.
