Smashed number plate

Post by KarlP »

I hit a stump and then a tree. (The sun was in my eyes :grin:)
What is a good source for a replacement number plate/headlamp surround? The OEM part is ~$90. I saw some plastic from Acerbis and UFO but wonder how they fit. My headlight is O.K., one small crack, will it fit in aftermarket plastic?

The UFO is almost identical to the stocker and it only costs about $30 if I remember correctly. Comes with new light assembly. I believe its called the Explorer. The best thing is that it mounts with two rubber straps per each side so it will never break again.

Couple of things....

Any twin light headlight shell is likely going to cause you some problems if you still have the OEM lighting coil.

Some of the strap-on types have straps that are designed to fit USD forks. You can make-up a spacer of some type (I've used dense foam blocks) if you use the larger strap on the smaller conventional KDX forks.

You're OEM bulb will not fit in any aftermarket shell that I know of.
...doesn't mean it doesn't exist. :wink:

You will need to do some rewiring.
