Anybody got tank shrouds from an 84 250r? Or even just the right side? Thanks Ivan

DC plastics makes super scoops. That's what I'm gonna be buying for mine. They sell red and black but I heard their red isn't spot on if your going for a show bike. I'm missing the left side myself.

There was some NOS maier white super scoops on eBay I missed out on by a couple bids. You just gotta keep an eye out.

Iam I Australia and my brother brought me the super scoops, I haven't put them on yet but they are very different colour and don't seem to fit real good and look rough! I have an ok left side one so I want an original one of I can find one. The DC arnt too great, that's what I think.

I'd say I'd give you my right side once I get my super scoops but I won't be home for two months because of work. Post up a picture of how bad they fit and look. Maybe I'll hold out for a set of maiers instead of DC plastics'. My buddy got a number plate from them on his 84 and the colors noticeably different. I mean it's close enough that I can put it on my rider and not care since it's not gonna be on display anyways and it already has old darkened maier plastics on it. But if fitments that bad I'll wait.

Hey if you could with the right side I'll pay for postage, that would be awesome! I haven't drilled the holes yet, but what I can do is put them up next to the tank to show you the colour difference, I think if you drill the holes in the centre of the DC new holes they still won't line up so might be tricky to make them nice and close to the tank! I'll get a pic of them next to the tank hopefully tomorrow for you! Also the lengths that go above the tank are different lengths! I'll try post a pic of what I mean.

But I guess they are ok, as you can just cut them down to size,

My buddy sent me this pic of their number plate on his 2nd gen. DC's color is closer to a cagiva than Honda passion red lol. As for the different lengths they are suppose to be like that. Even the maiers are like that. But I don't think maier makes the super scoops anymore for 83/84. That's why I was trying to buy some NOS white ones on eBay. I wonder how much maier would want to get a group buy. A run of 10 sets of scoops would be cheaper than getting a group buy for a fender set going.

Who made the old scoops for 200x's that use to extend low down to the motor almost like it was a scoop for a radiator. They use to look super trick. I use to have a picture on my old phone.

Several years ago 2nd gen owners were trying to find tank scoops period. All the OEM stuff was busted up. The DC super scoops were copied from nos Maier scoops. They fit just as bad as the maiers do. At least there's an option other than sheet metal. With a little trimming and some patience they'll work just fine. DC uses the dull finish just like what Maier used to...n

Yes the front plate looks like a much better colour! I didn't know that they were meant to be different lengths, so I learnt something! I've been searching for shrouds for a while and can't find any, I had a guy on here say that he had a pair for 450$ plus delivery! Iam in Australia so that's crazy money! Id be keen if maier could do a run of the shrouds
