Have you looked in the Dennis Kirk or Chaparral catalogs? I'm surprized UFO
doesn't make blue. Usually they offer 3 or 4 different colors.

You can make your 93 YZ250 look a lot like the new ones. The blue front fender
will fit 92-99 YZ's, the front number plate fits 1992-1999 YZ's, and I'm
positive you can still get blue radiator shrouds for your YZ. Graphics could
be a problem though. Yamaha made blue graphics for that year YZ back in 1995
but I doubt they are still available. I think Ceet makes blue graphics for
that year YZ though...they make the new Ecco series graphics that have all blue
in them and includes a seat cover. You can also go one step further and strip
the bike down to just it's frame, sandblast it, primer it, and paint it a newer
YZ blue. You cannot get the sidepanels in blue, but they aren't even blue on
the new ones so why get blue ones for your bike? You also can't get the rear
fender in blue...thats ok though...remember the 1997 YZ's came with white rear
fenders. If you search long enough and want to update your bike badly enough,
you can do it. Good Luck!!!!

I'm looking at the same thing for a 95 YZ.
www.mxsouth.com is the place to go for everything mx and he will undercut
everyone else.
Shrouds are only avail in white but fenders etc in black/white (check
www.acerbis.com)
Ceet do graphics for early YZ's' (check out mxsouth.. online he has pics of the
bikes with these kits www.mxsouth.com/ceetpg6.htm has it on. also
www.mxsouth.com/ceetpg10.htm)
N-Stylewww.mxsouth.com/nstpg05.htm

They seem to only offer other colors when the same plastic mold was used on a
different year bike that was a different color.
