FRP has black fenders http://www.frpoffroad.com/Fredette-Raci ... Id=-156167 and http://www.frpoffroad.com/Fredette-Raci ... Id=-156239. Headlight bucket - either remove and go with a black plate # plate or get an aftermarket headlight assembly in black like the Polisport MMX. Clarke offers a fuel tank in black.
The two things that I don't know where you can find them are the shrouds and side panels. Good luck!

Dye them. There was a good thread on either thumper talk's kawasaki two stroke section or maybe it was kxriders.com about using RIT rye to dye plastics. A guy dyed a KX tank black.

The problem with the dye is that it turns to an ash color after a while. You have to re-dye it periodically to keep it looking black. Not really a big deal on everything except the tank.

For the side panels I think I'd try the dye and then cover them with black # backgrounds
