I've dealt with them and they are fast and efficient, no probs 8).

Tell me how good the guard is for shape and size when you get it  ;) :).

I was hoping someone else had dipped their toes in the water and bought one as I too am wondering what the quality is like.. :)

I wrote to this guys about some guards and it is a bit hit and miss on what they have.  I asked for both front and rear so I could then colour match the side panels and tank but they didn't have rear guards etc.  Comms were real good though.

Hey Viper79,
May 2010 I bought a yellow front guard from this seller for my 1976 YZ, and the colour Q314Y is way off, not even close. The photo in the ebay add looks the right colour but is more like dull lemon colour. I onsold it here in Australia, and Aust Post broke it in transit, before it got to the buyer, so I'm thinking the type of plastic could be a bit brittle. The shape looks as close to original, and the finish ( smooth & glossy ) is way better than D.C Plastics, but if only they can get the colour right. I contacted them about the colour and their response was that they were manufactured in Thailand, sent to distributor in England, and the colour pigment is somewhat close to original but can't guarantee an identical colour match.
Not worth it if you are restoring your bike, ok if you just want a front guard that looks something like yellow.
I thought I was wrong once, but I was mistaken.

Don't know about the guard in question, but the guard he has listed for the yz1252 is too small, must be for a dt? The it400 guard listed is the right size though, just a bit 'too' white. Much better than dc stuff though

I've dealt with him a fair bit, and as others have mentioned, his service and communication is excellent.

I've also found his guards excellent too - I use the Q338W on my IT's (bought white and had them painted IT Blue).

Forget what he lists for the C model YZ's - the Q338 is a perfect match in shape and size for the standard IT400C/YZ250C/YZ400C front guard.  They even accept a NOS guard extender perfectly...
