Howdy,
My name is Choppastyle. I've been a forum member on sites for every bike I've ever owned and am looking forward to being a part of this forum.
I bought a 2007 Kymco 500cc with 2,192 miles today after selling my 2nd Honda Helix. I got it up to 100MPH on the way home (with room to spare)! I couldn't believe it. The reviews say a top speed of 87MPH!!?!?? I guess I got a "Special" one.
So I got a stellar deal on the bike because the rear right body panel had a crack in it. I went looking for new panels when I got home but all I could find were unpainted ones.
My Question: Where can I find pre-painted Kymco body panels? Is it possible or do I have to get them painted myself? Any Honda panels I've bought in the past have been pre-painted. I'd really appreciate any feedback.
Thank you,
Choppastyle

Stadium Yamaha for one: http://www.stadiumyamaha.com/pages/OemParts?aribrand=KYM#/Kymco_USA/Xciting_500/Body_Cover_%26_Luggage_Box/2K03110005/2K03110087 (http://www.stadiumyamaha.com/pages/OemParts?aribrand=KYM#/Kymco_USA/Xciting_500/Body_Cover_%26_Luggage_Box/2K03110005/2K03110087)
There are 5 painted panels listed and one unpainted. Look at these color codes, pick your color. The panel you want will have part of the code suffix in the part #. For instance, a RIGHT side Orange body panel would be 83500-LBA2-E00-YFP A left of the same color is 83600-LBA2-E00-YFP
Orange-----YR168 YF ORANGE MANTOVA M
Gray-------NH045 N8 ARGENTO METAL MF
Blue--------PB107 BA BLU BENACO MF
Dark blue---PB244 C6 BLU VERBANIA MF
Black-------NH124 NF NERO SMOKE MF
Thanks to veniamy for the codes! Also there's Kymcoparts123. Also TNT Cycles. All have the same online ordering system but prices vary a little. check the shipping by hitting "update shipping" when you add parts to the shopping cart.

This is why I love forums! Thank you very much. Your response was way quicker than I expected! I'm ordering it now. As I gain knowledge on this scoot I plan to do the same.

Ok....just to make sure.....
If I have the Dark Blue......would this be the code I would buy? 83500-LBA2-E00-C6P
The codes look a little different from what I see posted from you. I just want to make sure. Also mine is a 2007 (I'm not sure if that matters).
Thank you,

You're welcome. I hope I got that right. I don't see the chrome Xciting 500 emblem letters shown so don't know if it will have those on it already?? Maybe not.
Yes, as far as I can tell, that's the right part number. If in doubt, call them during business hours. A woman named Shea is very helpful there and what she doesn't know, she'll find out.
And sorry, there are only 3 colored panels and one unpainted. Sorry I miscounted earlier. :-)

Welcome. ;D Nice bike with low miles. There's a few of us on here with that year model. And yeah, I hear they can go fast. ;)
It's funny, the seller advertised it as an 08' but it ended up being an 07' when I saw the title. Difference was that it was Carburated as opposed to Fuel Injected. I didn't mind as I'm familiar working with Carbs and am very comfortable with them (plus I got a great price). Thank you for the welcome! I'm glad to now be a part of the Forum.

Thanks Hoolander! I'm going to take your advice and wait until tomorrow to order. The seller could have probably got $600 more if he would have bought this $90 part! I'm going to have to make sure to keep your username in case I have an un-answerable question.
Thank you,
