Will there ever be a Rmz restyle kit for 2010-2018?

Has anyone heard or do you guys think there will ever be a restyle kit for 2010 to 2018 Suzuki RMZs?

I found a company that sells brackets allowing newer model front fender and front number plates to fit but nothing as far as the rest of the plastics go.

I'm not sure how many of these bikes are still being used compared to the other models that currently have restyle kits available but I would think, given the plastics didn't change for 8 years, that maybe it would be worth it for a company to produce a set. If so I would definitely be interested in updating the appearance of my bike to look like the newer models.

Side note - I made a post about this before, but I think it would be awesome if they would make a restyle kit for CRF50s, since those plastics haven't change for a very long time. Or maybe instead of a restyle kit, how cool would it be if there was a Suzuki, Honda, Yamaha, Etc shaped Plastics that would fit on the CRF50 frame. That would be bad ass to have your pit bike be a miniature version of your race bike with matching plastics. The way the plastics attach to the CRF50 frame are so simple that I would think it would be easy to make nearly any shape fit. 

Thanks

Probably not a good enough return to invest in the tooling. The restyle kits for two strokes make sense because people are building those bikes for fun all of the time, where not a lot of people are going to buy a 2008 RMZ450 for a frame up build.

Makes sense and that's kind of what I figured. Thanks for the reply

I actually think the 10-18 Rmz’s are the best looking 4t they made.  Obviously just my opinion.  And they’ll still be going strong in another 10 years so maybe someone will make one at some point.

X2. The ones today look “off” compared to the previous iterations.

IMO, the old RMZ looked good, and the '19+ looks even better (even though the '21+ graphics are awful)

Bike looks nice, but that old Toyota 4x4 is sweeeet!

Super clean, nice work.  I think they’ve aged really well.

That thing is sweet! You wouldn’t think that’s a fifteen year old design. Still looks up to date!

The older ones look better imo. 2018+ looks meh. I think it’s the rear fender

The front and rear fenders on the 2018+ are all that's really wrong with it (even though it looks fatter than previous years). There should be a way to put pre 2018 fenders on the new ones.

19A03AAE-22B7-4AB8-8690-93D25522883C.jpeg?VersionId=EluT66Yeah I think that’s why the restyle kits look so weird on the 2 strokes, with the rear fender pointing to the moon.  I’d love to find a low use clean RMZ of that era to go with my Rm,  can’t beat a zook!

I had a 2011. I loved that bike. Four years and never had to do anything to it but tires, chains and sprockets.
