Bored of the plastics that are unchanged since 2003?

while I bouhgt YZF shrouds for my YZ250 and discovered that it's almost impossible to make them fit it's rather easy to make the KXF shrouds fit a 2-stroke KX250. I bought KX250F shrouds, KX450F shrouds have a different part number but I don't know what is the difference between those two.
the only things I needed were 3 brackets each side and just a little cutting of the plastics.

That looks good sitting, but I think you are going to impale your knee on that corner when riding!

What is with all the jagged, black dots on the lower part of the bike?  Did you edit the photo or ride through 100,000 packs of pepper?

yes, but photoshop didn't know the difference between a tire and a swingarm...
used the "magic wand" tool and was too lazy to do it exactly

Dude, it's not Spanish. :thumbsup:

I was just looking at the radiator shrouds when I posted the first time.  I didn't even notice anything different until someone said it looked Photoshopped.

here are the brackets:

for the right side I took the pipe mounting (because I bolt on a YZ pipe which didn't need the upper mounting point, left I used the radiator reinforcing bar


the upper mounting holes of both shrouds are cut like you can see in the picture, also the left one is cut where it touches the air filter box:
