Finally got my 99 Shrouds and Graphics
Haven't posted for a while, just a lot of challenges in life right now. But I was finally able to find some white shrouds without cracks on eBay. Been searching for probably a couple years. They are a little discolored on the back side, but overall in good shape. I had some custom graphics made and the results came out quite well. They will go on my 04 200 as an alternative look. I also found a spare seat and got a black with green rib gripper seat for the 04 as well. Should be a cool setup for the 2024 season. Those pics will have to wait since my bike is locked up and stored away for the winter. Take care and hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!

Thanks man! Surprised at how easy the graphics were to apply without much bubbling. Should be a good look for 2024.

Make sure to run a hairdryer/heat gun over them and rub them down really well so you don't end up with any lifting at the edges. Hot water from your faucet can do the trick as well.

That's great that you found the white shrouds you've been waiting for. It'll be looking good with that and your fresh graphics.

Re: Finally got my 99 Shrouds and Graphics
I didn't know until recently that white shrouds were a 1999-only (or was it 1 more year as well?), & that a few people were really struggling to find a pair!
I've got a 99 with original white shrouds, and I'm not terribly attached to them whatsoever. They're a bit beat up with abrasions etc and would take a lot of razor scraping and sanding and buffing with a wool wheel and plastic headlight reconditioner to get smooth again, but I'd let them go of you were really searching for a spare pair. I think one of the lower rear bolt holes has a split in it, as does one of my purple shrouds, but they don't seem to expand any.

Re: Finally got my 99 Shrouds and Graphics
If anyone wants another pair of white shrouds that need cosmetically smoothed out wet sanded and buffed, I don't have much desire to run my white '99 shrouds. I would let them go for pretty darn cheap or trade...
I just got a purple IMS oversized tank and shrouds and already have two OEM purple tanks and one set of purple shrouds... Plus green shrouds and black Clark tank, and green IMS tank and shrouds... I'm pretty set for a decade or so aside from more purple shrouds!
