Just an update regarding my recent DC plastics purchases. I bought a set of sidecovers and an airbox cover via ebay. When they turned up the larger sidecover just would not fit, the mounting recesses were off by enough that you couldn't physically get a bolt head inside them.

The airbox cover looked like someone had "tidied" it up with an angle grinder.

I sent an email telling them I wasn't happy and the parts were unusable, and after a bit of back and forth via email, they re-did the mould for the sidecover and sent me a new one plus a new airbox cover. All within a week and a half.

As others have stated the parts are not like NOS, and wouldn't suit a concourse resto, but now they all fit anyway.

I suppose my main point is that the service offered could not have been better.

my last set of YZ C plastics were mint, color was off but a can of Holts fixed that and they warn you at the time of purchase. Hell of a lot better than the ratted plastics that were on it.

I have been pretty pleased, got some plastics from Vintage Suzuki one time and they were appalling.

I recently got some opaque side covers for a yz250 79 from mainly maico (I think they do DC), I agree that its not like the original items, but for approx $120 for the three pieces its great value and the service was first class...

Bonehead,
Have you tried Vintage Iron?
I got some yz "j" plastics a few years ago from them and it was first class, needed drilling but fit, colour and finish was almost n.o.s.
Not sure but I think they do a complete kit including tank for g/h model

I'm prettty sure they do a white one as well, although the front guard has more of a "J" bend to it.

Have you tried n.o.s?  I have managed to get some genuine stuff over the years.
