The plastic really isn't that bad in quality as far as paint & clear but a couple of the decals that had to be cut around mount holes look a bit suspect, stuff you wouldn't really notice on the bike though. Also some of the mount holes had to be hogged out like they just pull it out the mold, throw decals, paint and ship but it's all nice and flat as far as the surface goes. One of the taillight mounts was missing but I can fab something there.
I believe it's the pvc because it is a bit more flimsy than the stock stuff which doesn't bother me, looks like it should hold up good. Being a 16 owner in the states means I don't have many options as far as bodywork goes. Now just to get my tank and wheels to my paint guy and get my mock up for an aluminum upper fairing mount to my welder and I'll be in biz. The 18 upper will really change the looks of the bike. I was also happy the 16 seats fit as well as the rear lock mechanism from my 16.
I'll take some pix and post em up as I go.
As far as drinking I decided to take a month off and whip my ass back in shape for skiing and the upcoming supermoto season....cause the kx500 SM takes some arm strenth to hold onto It really makes it hard being part owner of a tavern where we have 10 different beers on tap and a cooler full of sweet nector........it's only a month though.......right
