Anyone got a gen II plastic "bashplate" they want to be rid of? My one has been smashed (surprised?) and I want an intact one to use as a pattern for something a bit stronger ( paper-mache, perhaps)

Whereabouts in Auckland are you? I won't be taking my KLR out that much while I wait for a new fuel tank (under warranty). What are you planning to fabricate and how much will one cost? (I am thinking of replacing my plastic bashplate too.)
Shit doesn't just happen; there's usually an arsehole involved.

Nothing, Nada, Zip or a beer if we ever meet, (quite surprised the missus hasn't biffed it during one of her cleaning frenzies), if you have got someone who is heading your way I can give it to them or can post it if you PM me your address

Not completely sure at this stage. I briefly thought of carbon fibre with expanded mesh reinforcing, but more likely to be aluminium. I have access to all the engineering equipment i could ever need (and even more important, people who know who to use it properly)
What I'd like is a close replica of the standard one, but extending further back. What I'll end up with maybe something else again.
I'm in Wellington.

Have you seen the skid plates from these guys?

I bought one, and I have to say it is a quality piece of kit. I was keen to make something, but time/materials for a one-off didn't seem to stack up.

Thats nice work. What was the landed cost?
I'd like to build my own as I've got the time, got the materials, but got more important things to spend money on

The price worked out at NZ$240 at my door. The freight charge was very reasonable for such a large box.
Laser cut, CNC folded, pressed mounting bosses, and powdercoated. I couldn't have built it for that.
Good luck with your project, but isn't CF a little bit bling for a KLR

I did write *briefly thought of cf". That thought lasted as long as it took me to search the price of the stuff. Now on the lookout for a few road signs.

Ah, Padawan, learn well you do
In Search of New Gravel ......
Having a bit of a Dung-Out of stuff here and guess what I found......
A FULL SET of KAWASAKI GREEN 2006 KLR650 plastic panels
Back in 2006 when I purchased my first KLR650, The only colour available in NZ was GREEN with RED not going to be available until the following year
It turns out the USA gets their colours a year ahead of us, so I organised to import a full set of RED panels from the USA where it was their current colour scheme
The panels arrived before the bike, but if I recall correctly, I did actually run it in with the green panels still on to save drama at 500km 1st Warrantee check
Technically, one could argue that they aren't actually brand new, and to be fair, there are a few hairline marks on them, but otherwise BRAND NEW !
I just priced up a set of KLR 2006 GREEN panels at the local Kawasaki Dealer, and the replacement value is $2030.60 which interestingly is $280 MORE than RED ones )
That colour scheme had a Gloss Black tank, so to bling up your older KLR, just buy these, paint your tank black, and you're away laughing.........
Anyone interested before I put them on TardMe ?
Offers over $1000 ( Not selling for less than that, will just rebox, store in the attic and put back on bike if I ever sell it )
Offers to either stu@photographs.co.nz or 0274-342-372
Cheers, Stu
