Hi all, looking to spruce up my 01. Doing some shopping around for new graphics. Looking on eBay, there are some god awful themes. Ideally I'd just buy the OEM 2001 decals from Kawi, but $240 is a bit steep, and the tank ones don't hold up. So far factory effex are looking decent. However, I wouldn't be opposed to a 90's theme either.

Let's see what's out there..

Good call! They even have graphics up to 04' for the 500's. Now I'm torn..I could buy the correct 01 graphics, or the 90's graphics that I like more, but nothing else on the bike will match! Guess I need to buy a 90's 500 now.

Had the good blokes at UnboundedMX do these blue chrome '89 style shrouds!! They're almost too pretty to use! Feel free to shoot them a message and tell them Zeke sent ya!

And Todd over at Motocutz remade some of my favorite old decals for me. How can you go wrong with the Cycle-Am duck?!!

Miles Keeney at Pro Signs & Graphics did mine. Yes the tank graphics bubble up. I don't care.

I have been looking for the cycle-am UP FRONT & STAY BACK stickers since the mid 80s with no luck. Would like to get a set for my restored 87 KX500. Don't know how to upload pics? But I will never let it go. edit= I went to the UnboundedMX web sight but the don't show them? They came with my cycle- am replacement fenders for my 83 RM500.

BRX-WRX, the Cycle Am "STAY BACK" ducks were done by Motocutz MX Graphics. You would have to contact them and request to have some printed, if you do so, tell Todd that Zeke sent ya! Eventually I'll have them re-do the "UP FRONT" decals as well. Good luck!

I used Throttle Jockey number plates and EVO MX for the OE looking graphics on my 96, the fit on the EVO MX stuff was good but the colors and design was a bit off.

Thanks for the recommendations guys. Ended up going with the 01' replica graphics from Evo mx. It only took a little over a week to get them from the UK.
