Changing plastic on a old bike is like a little girl dressing up in her Mommies big girl adult cloths . It makes the bike look like you are making a lame attempt to make the old bike something it isn't,. Use stock plastic and just stop it

What horrible advise.

Its your bike, do with it what you want. Ill tell you from experience that front fender/number plate and shrouds are fairly easy to do but side panels and rear fender involve airbox and subframe modifications that rarely end up looking factory.

This bike is a 95 with 05 shrouds and 13 fender. I am going to get a white rear fender and call it good.

i already have the fender and the number plate of crf 2014 to place.deposit plastics from 97 for plastics from 2000 are quite different. also have told me that I can adapt the rear fender of the 2008 model but perhaps I'll just change the front. the rest will be 97.

Sorry for my english. I'm from Portugal Wink

Hi pcpa91, you may find that you wont need the bracket for the number plate once you bolt the plate to the fender. I hope you or nascarmate don't mind me answering the shroud question, but it's the large piece of plastic that bolt's to the tank and radiator, or frame. Some call them cowlings or radiator guard's, If you look at nascarmates bike it has Kawasaki and 05 graphic's, that's the shroud's. BTW, the 14 fender and plate look great and so does nascrmates Kawasaki.

You are right. The guy with that fresh 74 XR75 in another thread should take that ugly silver body work and tank off it and fit plastic from a a new cr150r. That would look sweet

To each their own. Years ago I fitted newer (97) plastic to my '91 CR.

When I rebuilt it last year, it was so nice putting original plastic on, and turning it back into the bike it was always meant to be.

Do what pleases you, as its your bike, and you don't have to please anyone but yourself.
However what I would advise is to not do anything you can't later undo.
