Does any make side number plates for 75 RM125 besides DC?
I assume that genuine suzuki ones are impossible to find now?
-
They come up leith but be prepared to pay a premium $500 +
-
Yeah that is out of my price range. I think i will use universal ovals.

Hi Leith
Don't go with the DC yellow, it's not a good match. I used the DC opaque covers on my 125S to purposely make it look a bit different.
-
I have very good molds for S panels , you are welcome to use them if you have someone who can lay some up for you.

I have two sets, One set of dc plastics (Maybe seconds) & one set of originals, but these were sun fade and painted at some stage.
I brought a full set of DC plastic's for my S model.
Are you building a Show bike or play bike?
Open to offers!

Are DC plastics and east coast vintage the same plastics??????????, i bought plastics from east coast vintage which were alright but postage makes them expensive
-
I would not even put DC stuff on a 'play bike'. I bought some of their RM fork guards and some oval plates but they were crap. Their yellow colour is not good either.

I have a nos set still in wrappers $AU750.00 inc postage
I know ridiculous price Blah blah blah ::)
TBH i don't give a F&*K ;D i have them for a one day resto , took me a long time to find them and i paid a lot for them .
Down side of originals is you really need to paint the guards and front board ( as they were ex factory ) to match the side panels.
As nice as the Vintage Suzuki plastics are the gloss finish would look wrong with the NOS panels , DC plastics colour is closer but still no substitute for painted originals .
Up side is you don't have to buy new plastics so save money there just refurbish and paint the originals .
Would be a waste on a racer but great for a 9 point resto
So putting them out there if someones keen so be it if not they stay on the shelf till i do the resto :)

Suzuki still produce these I Got a set from Partzilla in the US the other day. US $100 a set plus post.

slightly off track - I have a second hand set of RMB 370 side number plates that need to go to a good home - don't have the bike anymore. Will be honest - not sure if original or repro - hence they will be cheap.

Are you sure they are not 76-78 panels? 75 are unique to that model and have been discontinued years ago. Maybe they are remaking them? I would definitely order some if they are really 75 panels so please confirm when you receive them that they are not superceeded by the 76-78 ones or something.
I just checked partzilla for '75 panels and got this

NLA so i dont know what you have ordered?????
75 panels are flat and dont have the buldge for the shocks or the air vents like the later covers.

Try CMS in Holland, their web page says in stock for 39 Euros each. I just bought some for my 87 from them. Ordered Monday night and delivered in Perth Friday lunch.
-
87 is a much newer model. These 1975 covers were discontinued years ago but i did check CMSNL just now just to make sure. Its the same deal with PE fenders and headlight plastics. Suzuki has not made this stuff for years.
