Dc plastics
« on: August 28, 2014, 10:00:29 pm »
I'm looking for a inner rear guard fo a tm125 and I see dc plastics make one. Has any body bought any tm plastics from them lately, is the colour close to the tm's. I bought some suzuki pe guards from them a few years ago and they were a putrid Fluro yellow nothing like the original guards.

Don't say that, I just ordered a full PE set. I have heard they fixed a lot of their colour problems.

The plastics i got from DC for our PE 250 were fantastic. They needed very minor adjustments to fit them up.

Good products at reasonable prices

As with Shoey , My PE plastics were great , very slight adjusting with heat gun and fitted a treat . Very reasonably priced and  always great service from DC plastics direct  :)

Of course they are not genuine , but if you want to watch ebay and wait till your arse heals over then pay mega $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ if your lucky enough to actually find a complete set then that's always an option .

Yes their plastics are not the same as factory colour and neither are any of the other suppliers.
I have a DCP  Tm inner on my ride bike,  it works and looks the part.

Thanks for the feed back guys. I've bought plastics from vintage suzuki which look great on my other tm but they don't seem to make an inner rear guard and I was going to buy a complete plastic kit. You couldn't complain about the service from dc plastics they are good to deal with and it was few years ago I dealt with them. pecrazy keep us posted how the pe plastics are now, the ones I got were a great fit and if they have got the colour a bit closer you will be stoked with them.

I bought mine from Maxwell Motorsports, couldn't be more helpful, packed well and posted quickly. I am happy with the colour and the fit is quite good just wish they came with holes pre drilled but I guess that is reflected in the price, and it is not a hard job. Overall quite happy with them for the price but don't think they would suit a concourse restoration.

Just a comparision between DC plastics and a genuine Suzuki front guard. DC guard missing the edge and does not have the smooth shiny finish.

Same price believe it or not and the genuine has the holes in it.

But can you buy all the other plastics genuine ? otherwise you end up with a miss match of shades and finishes  :-\
