UFO plastics for 87 model.
« on: October 20, 2014, 01:40:07 pm »
Pasts numbers suggest that they only supply 88/89 blood red colour.

Does anyone know if this is correct?

If so, if there a source of the correct orangey-red colour plastics? I bought genuine guards, but they're the wrong colour too - they're sort of halfway between the 84-87 colour and the 88-89 colour.

IIRC, the 87 Honda OEM plastics are NLA and are supersceeded with '88/'89 gear.
This bike has '87, '88/'89 and UFO on it, you can't really tell the difference once it's all stickered up...

I just bought a UFO front plate in the correct orange red. Not sure if the other parts are available though.There are definately two different colours available from UFO, most places seem to list the 88/89 colour though. I bought the front guard from Honda for $60.

The genuine honda colour is flash red .Genuine new honda guards are available from the USA via rmatv .However they will not ship to Aus.
There are ways around this though.See my bike in my avatar pic.

You can still get ufo guards to suit in the orange red, I had a local dealer order me a front not that long ago.

You can still get the OEM 'Flash Red' guards from Japan look up "JP parts" send in a quote, easy as but they don't look as good as the originals plastics  for some reason? too glossy.
I kept my original guards and just cleaned them up. They match the tank better.
I got a set of UFO Flash Red '87 side covers for my 500, 250 are the same and they are as good as OEM ( I have both plastics).
'87 side covers were made for one year only so they are hard to find now.
UFO leave that maier crap far behind.
If you can't tell the difference between Fighting red and flash red your colour blind and they look tacky when mismatched on a bike IMHO.
