Hey all, Im looking for the chrome speaker covers and the gas tank top trim off a 2010 to 2013 voyager. Want to put them on my vaquero way to much money from kawasaki know of a place cheaper. Tried the salvage yards but no responce. Thanks

Not neccessarily, Ive had higher than buying new parts quoted to replate old ones.

I have 2 cans of spray paint on mine and it looks great,really smoothed it out.semi gloss blends perfectly with the seat.

What colour ?

Some ebay seller was selling the trim with built in turn signal lights, not sure of the price though.

2 cans of paint? Is the paint 1/4" thick?

Here's an interesting fact.....Kawasaki changed the finish on the gas tank trim panel on the 2013 Vaquero. It's now a smooth matt black finish...however I think I could have mine taken to an auto body shop and have it refinished for less than Kawasaki wants for that new 2013 part :(

I did the Voyager stuff on my Vaquero, including the chrome headlite trim. The chrome looks great against that red.
I also bought some 1/2" stick-on chrome trim from an auto parts store and put it on my bags, brakes up the red and shows off the lines of the bike...

I like the affect chrome doo dads have on this skoot. Chrome don't make it fast, but makes the skoot look real purty!!
