Thumbs up

Went out two days ago with two friends. Did about 27 miles of mtn 50 inch trail, elevation ranging from 3000 to 5000 ft and very rocky. I was on my '01 xc 200. Believe me, once you get that bike dialed in to suit you, you won't be thinking of what year it is, only how well it works and how much you enjoy riding it.

I did find out it is the Marzocchi forks not the WP. I still planning on getting it. Just need to get something that's inexpensive yet still pretty good thru the rough terrain.

I'll more than likely make an offer on that headlight. It's condition looks ok, not great, but maybe it will clean up.

Anyone out there have a kickstand or one of those clamp on kick stands? Or any decent extra handguards that would look good with this bike?

Thanks again for all the assistance. Hopefully will have it by Tuesday.

Does anyone have any of the following laying around I could get for this bike?

1-Working headlight that will fit. I checked on the one on Ebay for a 2000 EC250 and it would be fine but the seller does not know if it works or not so that's a bit concerning.

2-kickstand that will work or a clamp on universal kickstand

3-some nice handguards that will work good and look good with this bike. Doesn't have to be wrap around style. These would be easy to get aftermarket but if anyone has anything I might as well check here first.

Any plastic that will fit. Not really fond of the black fender and the one with the tail light is black too. Looking one with a fender. If not, I'll just use the black one. No biggie.

They look an awful lot like my WP extremes. Please take a picture of the top cap and bottom clamp. And if you have calipers measure the fork tube.

I have a working headlight, but I'm keeping it. Sorry. Mines redish anyway and not yellow.

Check out my thread. Has most of the answers in it. You can't get the shroud plastics.

http://www.gasgasrider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=20414

Plastics are 94-98 KX125/250 available in white or black

This is where I got my graphics.

I have these rad guards

Well, I'm not a huge fan of yellow and since I can't bring it back to stock since the pink/red plastics are unavailable I may go with white plastic and get graphics like the 19 Ranger. Not a fan of black so white would be way to go.

So, where do you guys recommend getting plastic? And you guys said KX250 94-98 is same plastic and available in white?

Also, who do you think wold do best graphics replicating the Ranger 19 graphic look. Or maybe the 13 EC300 Racing look which had white plastic.

I'm getting it this weekend. If love the bike then I'll prob invest on a new look. Maybe.

I thought '99 and '00 plastic was the same? If they are I have a full take-off set including original seat cover from my '00 I'd like to get rid of. Search my posts. Pictures are there, price negotiable.

My 2000 xc300 uses the same plastic as the older bikes.
