I recently had a slight trail riding mishap with a small tree and tore the left shroud off my bike.  I think it had something to do with the 28 deg. weather we were riding in this weekend up here in New England (who says riding season is over).  The plastic was probably very brittle and when the tree caught it, it just snapped.  The tank is still in perfect shape.   Has anyone recently purchased a new shroud, or a pair of shrouds, and could you give me an idea of what I'm looking at for cost?  Is anyone aware of any aftermarket plastic replacements?  The other option I was considering was replacing the tank.  I saw a picture of a military KLR that looked like it had a tank with built in shrouds.  Does anyone know if that tank is available to the average Joe and if so from who? As always, thanks for the help. Bob L ("Woods Ninja")

Go to www.buykawasaki.com to get a part number then call a dealer. I don't know the current price for them. I do know that Dual Star has some of those. (Am I right list?)   Saludos   Juan

Hi Bob: Look up www.dual-star.com. I don't know what year/color your KLR is, but they are advertising cheap new takeoff 2000/2001 body parts. You can get a complete set of '01 plastic body parts for $500 including the new silver tank and a seat cover, if I remember right. Check it out.

I bought a right side shroud in August through the local Kawasaki dealer and it was $95. Made me a lot more careful. Gary Webb Sacramento 98 KLR 650 (RIP) 00 Aprilia Pegaso

Has anyone recently purchased a new shroud, or a pair of shrouds, and could you give me an idea of what I'm looking at for cost? Is anyone aware of any aftermarket plastic replacements? The other option I was considering was replacing the tank. I saw a picture of a military KLR that looked like it had a tank with built in shrouds. Does anyone know if that tank is available to the average Joe and if so from who? As always, thanks for the help. Bob L ("Woods Ninja") ********************************** I paid 49.70 for the shroud p/n 49089-1073-59 (blu/grn color '96-'99) and 22.56 (ouch) for the decal p/n 56061-1488 ('98 graphics) from my local Kaw dealer. No aftermarket for these that I know of. Darrel A12 avenger

It should tell you what you want to know Our 113121 tank is available in G2 green, G3 translucent green (not shown on our web site,) W1 white, and N1 natural (translucent white.) If you really want to be able to see the fuel level in your tank, you'll need to go with either the G3 or N1 tank. Be forewarned, however, the N1 tanks tend to turn yellow with age.You can apply stickers to our tanks. You can certainly fax your order, and we do accept Visa.

Subject: RE: KLR fuel tank Thank you for responding to my E-mail. I have a few more questions. 1) On your web site you have 2 greens listed for fuel tanks, G1 and G2. Which one is used for the KLR tank #113121? 2) Is the white or green color transparent enough to see the level of fuel in the tank?3) Can sticker be applyed to the tank, or will the come off to easy? 4) Can I fax my order to you at 909 653 1060, and do you take VISA?Thanks >From: "Adam Ince" >Reply-To: >To: "The Squasher" >Subject: RE: KLR fuel tank >Date: Tue, 17 Oct 2000 15:40:30 -0700> >yes we do make a 7 gal. tank for the KLR650.

Some may know Idaho Bob from Boise. He got a great deal.. $3k USD for a '98 with Corbin seat only 900 miles. Another Concours rider on a KLR too. Best bang for the buck times two. Dan Paulsen
