Hi there ! I own a 2006 (the real Kawasaki green ones) and since I own a new garage I tought that it would be a good idea to spend some time bringing some youth to my beloved machine. Here https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/DSN_KLR650/photos/photostream/lightbox/1216279942?orderBy=mtime&sortOrder=desc&photoFilter=ALL# you can see how it is possible to bring back the original color to the plastic body parts. (Ok, I am not quite sure how to insert photos in this message, sorry for that.) By the end of winter I should have a brand new old 2006 ready for summer JL

What method did you use to restore the plastic? Mine are faded red, not as bad as some, but red doesn't hold up well.

I wrote up the process of using the heat gun to restore plastic on my KLRs a few years ago.  It should be in the archives.
