The only triple jumps he would have been doing are the hop, skip & jump.

I have seen these guys before. I had the impression they were supplying Maier plastics? They do *look* good, anyway.

Do you think they are Maiers Graham.  Talk about bursting a blokes bubble   :'(  :'( ;D ;D
I had Maiers on the 465 and they are rubbish.  $185 for the set seems cheap, but I would not pay that for Maiers.

Wonder what the go is ??  Come on all you experts what do you say ??

I'm sure young Woody told me the other day that they are Maier. But I may be mistaken. Anyone know for sure? I've decided to go with the DC stuff for my 250G - they have a new mould that seems to be turning out a good looking set of plastics for this model and I actually don't mind the matte finish on a race bike.

The look like maiers to me or at least not much better.
No air intake/vents on the airfilter sidecover.

hey boys i dont think they are maier as the maier sets did not come with the holes cut for the seat bolt access , the moulding looks different to as maier had real shallow mounting points, for 185 bucks these look the goods for a racer and i am looking at possibly purchasing these as im not happy with the new dc stuff ive fitted, but then again its a racer. ;D good find 250 H

I am 99.9% sure that XYZ are not selling Maiers.  I have a set on the way, so I should be able to confirm soon.  I have Maiers on the 465 and DC in the cupboard, so should be an easy comparison.
Stay tuned.

Still waiting on a PayPal invoice from XYZ so he can send them.

Darren,

You don't have another set of those in white do you ??  IF so they would be sold ;).  Unfortunately all my other YZ's are white, so yellow would look out of place  :(
