I think Vintage Iron sell Maiers (sp?).  For Yamaha plastics I think I can quote a forum member as saying that Maiers are "Shiny but shite".  Come on Mr VMXPlastics start pumping out those G/H plastics mate ;).  I have NOS front and rear fender on the 250.  I bought a DC plastics front number plate and the colour is way off.  I know  ::) - its not supposed to be for restos, but it was $39 US plus postage (which is about $1000 Australian at the moment).  Full respect to DCplastics guy as he makes stuff other people don't and I understand the manufacturing problems.  I know VMX plastics are heading down this track, so I won't bother but surely if you made good quality plastics for G/H Yamahas you could make money.  Nobody makes a decent RHS side cover.  I agree with Leith that people will pay good money for good stuff.  My 2 cents worth.  Probably only worth 1 cent, but there you go.
Looking for YZ250C parts NOS if possible

Check out the YZ250G RHS cover from DC - he claims these are improved and pre-drilled. Hmmm... might be the way to go for my 250G?

i bought what i was told was a reproduction M'robert front fender from vintage iron but when i got it it looked to be NOS m'robert and not a repro. i also read some where that vintage iron has got all the old preston petty moulds?? im not sure if thats right because as far as i know strickly hodaka are the only authorized remaker of preston petty parts and they have preston pettys permission and are selling them as genuine preston petty products and not reproductions or copies

http://www.strictlyhodaka.com/prestonpetty.html - by the looks of it they have had to stop production to re asses things. they were even making the headlight shells and red tail light lenses

Our G/H 250/465 side panels should work fine. I had a 1981 YZ 465 and fitted all of our plastic on the bike. Never broke a piece in two seasons of 10 races or more.

VMX PLastics from Australia

Got my plastics from the above supplier today. We purchased a yellow front fender and yellow rear fender

No difference between NOS and the products supplied.

This product is a perfect reproduction.

Great job and its a credit to the maker for turning out such great product. Best of all , its Aussie made.

Pleased to read that you have amend  fitment of Rm 250 -400 side covers and that they are NOT moulded with frame rail tabs,   BUT they are still a BAD FIT and there is room for improvement .
