Geez, I leave the computer for two friggin minutes and I miss my chance to shine
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 ......
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
