klr plastic, paint and tough signals

Post by atomic_2012 » Sun Oct 19, 2003 10:50 am

hey all the plastic on my '01 KLR started fading really fast- after a year of owning it it really started to show- now after 2 1/2 years its a pale green shadow of its former off-the-showroom-floor luster. i tried some plastic treatment on it which exacerbated the situation- now its totally fried. has anyone had good results with that new krylon plastic paint, or anything else like that? if not i'd like to find a reasonably priced replacement kit for all the plastic... and...has anyone found some aftermarket signals that can withstand a few dumps? ive replaced the rear signals twice for each one so far. man i'd just like to get some reinforced titanium ones or something. -rob UT

I think dual star still sells "take offs" from the military KLR. --- In DSN_klr650@yahoogroups.com, "atomic_2012" wrote: if not i'd like to find a reasonably priced replacement kit
