Here i go again...Looks like i just bought a 250 H
My questions are :
Where did you get the shiny plastics from for your 250
Are they reliable, quick and answer the phone
Thanks Champ
I will get the tank painted , so give me a call RE : your tanks
-
Ring Les at Mainly Maico....he's in Newcastle.
-
I`ve had his XYZ stuff...its crap
-
i believe Ted asked for "shiny" plastics Davey.
remember them?
knowing our Mr Barsby, he found some rare exotic NOS sidepanels as his are squeaky clean.
-
The only "shiney" plastic you will get are XYZ, they own the moulds and Maier make them for them....unless you want to unload meggar dollars for NOS.....shit, I have a set of them....you can have them for a grand.....DC dont shine because of the type of plastic they use.

Geez, I leave the computer for two friggin minutes and I miss my chance to shine ;D ;D
My Side covers are XYZ .... yes I said XYZ ::). If you can get him to talk you the side covers are very good. You can still buy the front and rear guards new from Yamaha as far as I know (that's what I've got on mine. XYZ do them as well - you should expect a decent finish on them as well. Pretty sure they make the G/H style duck bill front guard too. Front number plate I got from DC plastics. I was disapointed by the finish, but once you put the graphics on it isn't too bad.
Paint the tank like you did on the 125 and you are flash as a rat with a gold tooth. Then all you need is a CHROMED GMC pipe and ...... 8)
Well you know the rest. Maiers are shiney, but the fit is crapola. I stand to be corrected, but i think that is what Les sells. The moulds for MAiers are different from XYZ. Alopogies to all those I have undoubtedly offended, just my experience. I have a set of Maiers, DC Plastics and XYZ. XYZ are by far the best fit and finish, they even have 2 cool little filtered inlets where Yamaha put theirs. Service is the hard part... I was going to buy a heap of sets off him and become an Australian agent, but he is a REALLY bad communicator.
When I get some patience back I may try again :-\.
