an option for better plastics

[LWC82PE]

for those who are looking for better quality plastics then there is another option. i have the latest Maier MFG catalogue and they have a page on some of the vintage plastics they make for honda, suzuki, kawasaki and yamaha

at the bottom of the page it says

Maier magic- let us put your idea in plastic
we specialize in producing custom work for our customers who need items produced on an exclusive basis. You do not need to order large quanities, and the tooling costs are minimal. if you have ideas or suggestions, please give us a call

i think this is a much more realistic option than trying to get the original bike manufacturers to do a re run of plastics that havent been made for 25 years.

Pitty they cant get the XR75 plastic colour right. Fitment was great. Colour way off.

[LWC82PE]

they do several reds ( i assume your XR is that colour) you can choose which red you want.

Maier are crap, (for yz250/465) they dont fit properly, they arent even the same shape, but if you are happy with that, then go for it.

[Mick22]

VMX Racing are a poor quality repo for the CR250M not even as good as DC! Shape is all out of wack, they crease if you look at them sideways and the color is all wrong.
He claims he makes them himself??

[LWC82PE]

i think you will find VMX racing does not get ALL his plastics from Maier, only some

I bought my plastics through Les at Mainly Maico, he supplied me with vmx racing plastics. The 74 cr125 colour is wrong as they were originally painted from the factory so the colour in plastic is not made. I had a set of white plastics done for my '77 cr125 which were well made also. No issues here.

 I bought some fenders from these guys, no problems so far.
