Hi, Jason. Welcome! You should share some pics of your KDX in here. I'm glad to hear the shrouds are selling well.

My shrouds came in yesterday in perfect shape - Thanks for the parts and for helping me figure out the payment. Now to figure out the best graphics for a look that's as close to stock as possible.

And thank you, Chuck, for that list of graphics suppliers. The Gillimoto tank bums me out that it has Gil 1 molded super-huge on it and uses screws into the plastic for the petcock. I've never seen anything like it and it strikes me as a really crappy way to attach a petcock that will eventually tear out the tank.

There's a faded OEM purple KDX tank on eBay I believe I just saw, or perhaps one of the Facebook groups, $100, FYI! If I see it again, I'll copy and paste the link.

KTM used those plastic thread petcock screws for many years as well for some reason, on OEM tanks at the petcock only...not shroud bolts etc. Odd. GiliMoto stated they could make a special order KDX purple tank with the brass inserts for the petcock threads if requested, but it'd cost $280 instead of $199(?) or whatever their standard price is. Bummer but it's better than no one making them! The Gil1 is large but somewhat subtle, I can live with that.
Now to see if my spare backup used faded OEM purple tank will actually accept and hold fuel without cracking! I've heard you should first introduce diesel fuel into an older plastic tank when fresh out of long term dry storage, before putting gasoline in, to acclimate the dried out plastic to the solvents a bit more slowly to prevent them from rapid exposure/absorbtion which leads to cracking... I need to do this before spending any more time restoring the UV faded exposed portions from the bike it was on being stored outside for years....

Cheaper than Dirt X Industries, & also USA made heavy duty graphics! I'm having them do a custom pair with the KX checkered flag background and asking about side plastics number plate graphics. I'll see how the quality is, but may just order several sets if bulk pricing is very enticing...

Welcome to kdxrider.net. THANK YOU for buying all the shrouds and selling them. I bought a pair from him. They arrived safely and look terrific. Communication was great and shipping was fast!

Thanks again!

Jason Jacobson just reached out to tell me that he has completely sold out of the first batch of 80 pairs of purple KDX shrouds, and has now reordered another batch.

Additionally, he has ordered a batch of purple REAR fenders & purple front fenders!

These should be arriving from UFO in Italy to the USA & preparing to ship out to YOU by mid February!
I'll tag Jason in here as well...

[KDXGarage]

Heh-hell yeah!! Thanks for letting us know.

I stumbled across this picture of some parts I have hidden and buried somewhere. :-)

Sweet!!! I'd love to buy a set of front and rear purple fenders. I can't find how to buy them on his facebook page, at the moment, but regardless, this is great news! And KDXGarage, am I seeing purple side covers? I heard rumor they existed, just like some people say they've seen Sasquatch, but here is the photographic proof. Wow!

[KDXGarage]

I think they are side panels. Like any picture of Bigfoot, the picture is too blurry. :-)

[Kipsy]

HaHaHaHaHa!!!

[Chuck78]

Jason has ordered another batch of '95-'06 purple plastics, this time with 50 front and 50 rear purple H-Series fenders!

They've landed in the USA now, and are available on eBay or significantly cheaper direct from Jason!

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/168LCQvrpM/

Contact Jason via Facebook or see if he has an email listed above in his posts (he's not on KDXRider.net much)

They'll be listed on eBay but will be cheaper direct from him.

[KDXGarage]

COOL!! I just looked on his Facebook listings about 30 minutes before I saw your post. I got a pair of the shrouds last time around. The fenders would be great.

THANK YOU for the info!

EDIT: I bought the fenders. Thanks for the info!

[Kipsy]

I just ordered a front and rear fender from him. I can't wait. I already got the shrouds from him. Now I've got a backup sent of plastics so I can stop worrying about destroying my current purple plastics.

[KDXGarage]

Thank you, Jason Jacobson!! I got the purple fenders today. They look terrific! They are shiny and new in the UFO packaging.

Thank you again for getting the order together for all of us to benefit!
