Thanks James, we could probably hunt up a Barnett kit..I used Barnett plates in my RM's years ago and they were okay..nothing special but they worked.
This is the problem..a quote from a local kwak dealer for genuine '85 KX plates was around $250. Accessory plates were priced at $220. I then mentioned to my friend ( incidently his name is DJ but not the DJ on this forum) that I had seen plate kits on Ebay US delivered to my door for about $75. BIG DIFFERENCE!! This is why I am wondering if the later model plates will fit as there is a stack of them available where-as very little for the '85 specifically. Differing part numbers with no substitutions tells me they are a special deal that doesn't interchange but I was just wondering if someone had actually tried. It's all about cost as the parts aren't rare but genuine are expensive.
