Where would you guys recommend getting a complete set of plastic and possible graphics to replicate either the stock or factory 92 KTM 250SX?

I've got one I'm talking to someone about.

Wow, great site JMX82! I was just talking about a 92 KTM yesterday to a friend and the conversation ended with, "But I wouldn't know where to get half the stuff from." It's good to know there is stuff out there.

I’ve built 3 1990s KTMs. Lots of parts are still available from KTM if you look up part numbers. UFO makes all the plastic for that model (90-92 is the same). I see 91 graphics all the time but the 92s are more rare. I’d try Evo-mx for decals and there is a strong vintage KTM group on Facebook. Enduro Klassiker is a great site and there is a old Canadian guy who was the KTM distributor in Canada (Helmut Classen) who has lots of parts he sells cheap.

There was one local to me for $900 in running condition (rough). Had I known the parts would be easier to find I may have scooped it up.

Where are you located? Here in SoCal, bikes like that are scarce

old SX/MX models are definitely hard to find. KTM mostly sold EXCs and MXCs back then. The 125 I built was a EXC that I swapped ignition and everything to make a SX. But funny you say that because I looked all over the country for 3 years and the 250 SX I just finished was found on San Diego Craigslist and I had shipped up to WA.

Very interesting. You say you “swapped out the ignition and everything else to make it a SX”. What do you mean by “everything else”? I may go the EXC/MCX route as well

I started with a 95 125 EXC and I bought a whole 96 SX motor and ignition to use. I’m not sure what all is different besides the ignition, cylinders look identical.I had to swap to a 91/92 subframe and seat to use the older 91/92 sidepanels and rear fender. The tank is the same 91-97 on the 125 (besides color change in 96) so shrouds bolt right up wether you use the 91-92 style shrouds or the 93-97. Lots of KTM stuff is interchangeable. Basically I have 95 suspension with a 96 motor (but motor was changed very little between 91-97) and dressed it up in 91 plastic with 1990 decals and colors to resemble the factory 125 GP bikes of 1990 of Bob Moore and Mike Healey.

My mom does estate sales and I was helping her out at a ranch last week. Found a 92 KTM desert 250sx in the barn. The atv permit on it was from 2019 and it's looks like it just needs a new radiator, plastics, and maybe tranny. I am waiting on the lawyer for the estate to clear it but I will hopefully be picking it up for $300.1000001162
