I'd like to see retro kits bit for newer bikes. Graphics and gear both these days don't look nearly as good as stuff from say 90-2010.

How about a restyle kit for the 03-07 KX's ? Here's my idea of a more modern shroud on an 05 KX250, its just a mock up. I know it's a sin to cut plastics... please forgive me, lol. Damn, never mind, I'm trying to get the bike to look updated and ya'll are doing retro...dyslexia is kick'n in with age.

I third this - I think you would get a lot of takers on these kits for 91-92 CRs! The race classes for this age bike are growing every year.

I am 110% all in on this and I second your request!!

What would be suh-weet is an AFFORDABLE plastic modernization for the 03 - 07 KX125 and KX250's that a few have done on here and other places with the plastics off a 16-18 KX450 or 17-19 KX250f ....something like a complete kit like what TX-Race sells for the CR 2 strokes.

As it sits right now, it is absurd how much it costs to do that plastics conversion/upgrade to these last gen KX 2 strokes, as much or more than the bike is worth.

Hey UFO plastics if you guys could set out to make an all in one complete kit like this I think you would sell quite a few of them as long as you could keep the retail price somewhat realistic to appeal to a much broader customer base making money off volume and not necessarily a ridiculous markup, I bet there are a lot of last gen KX 2 stroke owners that would love to update the look of their bike to something like the pic below. Having said that I do think that even without the plastics conversion, these 03-07 KX 2 strokes are some very good looking bikes but they would look amazing like this:

I second the modernized plastic kit 03-07 KX's as well as a kit for 01-08 RM's would be nice too ! Ive seen polisports kit for the CR's and i think thats catching on now and would be cool if you guys offered that. Not saying it has to look 100% like they're 4 stroke counter parts but a kit similar to the YZ restyle kits would be great. If you guys really are getting into making whole replica kits using the oem shape plastic i think a Makita factory suzuki kit would be sweet for rm's. As would a replica Factory Honda kit for 02-07 2 strokes. Like another member said YOT kit for both 98-01 YZ's and 02-14 would be cool. Making it easier for the regular joes like us to build our dream bikes without having to spend $400 or even worse buying double that amount in 4 stroke parts to fit to our 2 strokes like the guys converting 03-07 KX's to KXF plastic subframe tank etc... Thank you UFO for continuing to support the older machines like this.

Not any year, the special blue kit for the 96 Kenworthy national. And make it so it fits my 2015 YZ250F, hey if they could do it with the Peak bike at straight rhythm they can do it for me. lol



I think N-style has the rights to that logo. They could probably make them for you.

I’m probably one of 3 guys that would every want this but how about the 91-92 RM’s? If they came with the seat cover I would totally buy a couple just for spares. I really think you could sell a “Swink” team replica but I’m just being biased.

How about alternative brands’ plastic colors and graphics, to apply to YZ 2strokes. Like Kawi, Suz, or Honda. That way, I could have a KX125 without having to build an old-ass bike.
I could just buy a modern, aluminum framed YZ that would look good in green, or yellow, or red.

Any chance they might make the neon flo red for more current CRFs? (08)

I may be a little bias since I'm midway through a build, but 93 YZ race graphics would be welcomed and save me purchasing from multiple places....

I always liked the 97' World Championship factory KX250. That's a retro build I'd like to do.

I’d like to see a better color match for mid 90s red CR plastic. The new aftermarket stuff doesn’t compare to the “pop” the OEM stuff had.

Better yet, just stamp out some new radiator louvers for 96 and under cr250s. That simple!
