This might be worth inquiring about, especially with the ISDTRR travellers from California this week:

You might try the "KTM Talk" website. It was mentioned a while back on a thread I just looked up regarding tring to track down replacement blue plastic for the 97 LE200 Jackpiner.
Jon "big Mac" also had this to say about it on the same thread last year:
Dealers may tell you the blue plastic is not available, or never heard of it, but usually only due to them not having parts numbers for blue and being lazy...Front fndr-502.11.401.100/68; Rear fndr- 503.08.013.100/68; Headlight mask-502.11.401.100/68. Green for th Six Day versions are same, just /51.
KTM still had blue plastic for special order as recent as a year or two ago, very spendy, like $600 for complete set. The owner of KTM Gresham //www.ktmnorthwest.com restored an LE Jackpiner for his showroom a couple years ago and had the graphics made for the fairings etc. Said at the time he could get same done for anyone needing...but not sure the latest, the dealership fell on a bit of rough times I hear.

P.S. I think I have ALL the leftover green plastics and graphics, as they were about to get pitched when KTM built the new parts dept.
