Plenty of bikes came with fibreglass pieces originally, and plenty more are now fitted with 'glass replicas of unobtainable original plastics - the safety aspect is basically a non-issue.
The fibreglass does break more easily, which is a pain, but not enough of a pain to spend $400++ on NOS plastics...

I must say that so far I haven't experienced any great dramas in finding parts for my 250G resto. Tons of stuff on eBay, some for quite reasonable prices, and a few easily had from Yamaha. Not sure about plastics yet but my experience with aftermarket is that they always need some work to fit properly so I am not that much worried, especially given mine is to be a racer not a garage queen.  Last week I got a full set of cables, gaskets and an inlet manifold through Yamaha, so it's not looking like much of a challenge as yet.

You should still be able to get front and rear guards from Yamaha, I bought a second back up set for my 465H  early this year.

The guard you get from Yamaha aren't 100% right - they're the later type, with the full 'flare' on the side of the front guard (rather than the short flare of the original G/H guards).
There's a similar difference with the rear ones.

Still a truck-load better looking than the generic UFO guards on my 250G, though...

I have several of the new ones. Old new ones & new new ones & an original still on the bike. Same part number, 3r4-21611-10-00, the colour is slightly different but as for the shape I thought is was the same. I have an original and will compare the 3 and report back.

I'll see if I can find my old original rear guard which is like porcelain and compare it with the new one.

Gidday
I'm almost finished my YZ250H to what I call a race ready tidy bike and I agree with all the other replies buy one restored. I paid $1500 for a very tired bike that had been restored with a couple of cans of enamel spray paint and have since spent about ( I shudder when I type this)
- Recondition forks, Shock, rebuid engine big end and top end, Clutch, bearings and bushes all round, sprockets and chain, new repro plastics/stickers, seat cover about $3 500 and countless hours stripping and sanding.
But I can tick the box and say that I've done one up now. (I had a ball)
I'll be looking for original restored bikes from now on to add to my collection.
Have fun

Bought me a NOS YZ250G rear guard from Yamaha today. They have some still in stock in the warehouse it seems. Took two days to get it in. Correct number and as far as I can tell comparing it to the original I have on the bike, it is identical.

So far I am doing pretty well buying parts for both the IT175G and YZ250G straight from Yamaha...

Well done Graeme.  Any luck with the front guard for the G/H.  I got J/K from yamaha.  I personally think they look better anyway.  Looking forward to seeing a few progress photos - where are you up to ??

The 250G will take a long time. Very limited time and money... I am just slowly accumulating parts right now. I have managed to come up with all NOS cables, gaskets, inlet manifold, rear fender, fuel tank petcock and so on. Wheel bearings and swingarm bearings through eBay, got an order for a few more odds and sods coming from motoduro.co.uk. I have a front guard that looks like some sort of aftermarket YZ250F part that came off my HL500 that I will clean up and polish for the front. I have some good second hand rims, just needing some spokes for those.

So, a few more bits and pieces to source yet. The plan is to have a rolling chassis by maybe April next year, and with luck have it done late next year. It's gonna be a dirt tracker rather than a motocrosser, although that doesn't mean anything about how I'll build it beyond the fact it'll have a trials tyre on the back...

Ta Darren. Still not sure if I am coming over for the Show and Shine but hope to. Hopefully I will make it and we can catch up there.
