As I was listening to the newest CHAD REED interview, I noticed in one of the slideshow pictures, the sun was shining almost through Chad's front fender. Do the plastic companies make a special thinner plastic for these guys to save weight? I've purchased multiple plastic kits over the years and have never had a fender that the sun came through. PLEASE don't destroy me on this maybe it was an optical illusion, I was just wondering is all. Thanks Guys
It's definitely not any different from what your can buy, it's just that flo green color is very translucent.

Stewart's right side # plate 259 off his KX125
Barcia's shroud and front fender off his 250
K-Dub's shroud off his 450.
The factory Kawaski teams both in europe and US started running with it in 1996. Then it came availble for the normal rider later that year. I had it on all my KX250´s from 1996-1999. Looked so good back then !
I also remember Acerbis came out with transparent plastic kits in 1998. Red, blue, green, yellow plastic kits that you could see thru. Never was a fan !
Cycra made a front fender than had a vented translucent rear section that was lighter than stock. Had one on my YZ250F. First time I bottomed the front, I found out that it was also too wide for the full wrap carbon fork guards I had.....
Don't sweat it man, all the comments I just read were tongue-in-cheek and meant no obvious offense.
