Hey caps999,
It depends what bike you have as to what choice there is! Also it comes down to if you want a show bike or race bike. As for my YZ250C, the DC Plastics are the only manufacturer for this model. I agree with Cyclegod's reply.

Cyclegod is only right because he is satisfied with the product. However I am not impressed. If you are going to do 'reproduction' then it should be a valid reproduction and you can't get more basic than getting the colours right. It just cannot be that hard.

It all comes down to cost Luke...DC use a cheaper type of plastic to mould compared to Maier and only have to buy minimum quantities where Maier have to buy large quantities to get the "good" stuff and at the end of the day it comes down to business and profit's....you cant afford to have tens of thousands of dollars laying around for years to get your money back. I'm sure those blokes havent got money falling out of their pockets so really we should be tankfull for what we can get and from the rummur mills going around at the moment there may be no more Maier products soon so if you want any you better stock up now ...It's easy to criticise peoples products but you have ago yourself and see how hard it is (and expensive) and how long it takes to get a product to market. After all this and then your dealing with a very small market and 90% of the customers are tightarses...so why would you bother?...be greatfull fellas...theres alot of people out there making stuff for the love of the sport.

Davey you forgot to mention they use different processes    vacum as appose to injection.

[Davey Crocket]

They both use vacum Stu....injection is too expensive...injection costs about $30.000 for a guard mould...thats ONE guard shape, to do a bike say front guard, rear guard, 2 side panels-L/H R/H, front number plate theres probably $100,000 in tooling and then theres the tank, which are "spun" in a machine to give that factory finish....thats why you get what you get.

I have DC guards on my RM125C and yes the colour is out compared to the tank and NOS side covers but i'm happy that i can get guards.
I ordered the DC PE250T plastics kit yesterday because of the oz dollar and the rear guards and headlight/n plate are unobtanium and those that do have them better look after them like gold
I just wanna ride the damn thing and if i damage them,at least i know Tom can supply a replacement.
Yellow turns to crap on my bikes because i spend more time on the ground than on the bike
NOS plastics would be worth more than my bike
