replacing plastics.

**Jim mac** · 02-10-2021, 09:39 PM

my new to me 350x has a rear fender missing chunks. So I need to order a new one. So my question, is it worth the extra cost to just order the front, rear fender and scoops?
I'm thinking it all matches. There's a new seat cover coming tomorrow.
I'm probably going to just order it, but thought I'd see what others do when ordering plastics. jim

It seems you've got one of your dream machines. Wouldn't you feel better if it's all fresh and matches?

If I'm spending the money for new plastics I always replace everything. If I don't I always regret it and end up having to pay for shipping twice. I replaced the plastic and tank on my 350x and never looked back.

I'm taking it out Saturday and see how my knee handles starting it. if it works out, I'll just buy the kit less headlight shell. jim

Jim if you end up deciding your knee can't handle the 350X, I will trade you a couple 185s and 200 projects and bikes, plus maybe some cash on my end for it. Lol

Maybe it's time someone repopped the Goki kit....

Get the whole set! It's a 350x!! If you have a super model you don't mind buying her a new dress! lol

**Jim mac** · 02-10-2021, 11:45 PM

thanks, but I've got 3 running 185s trikes. funny thing, I was originally hoping to find someone looking to unload a 200x I wanted to build a auto x. If the kick start messes my knee too bad, I'll try to trade it for a car or truck project, who knows, another chevelle or tri 5 chevy truck body? jim.

Keep it and if you can’t kick it just have a couple people push start for you. When I had my tri-z 250 I had to roll it down the slope in my yard when I wanted to ride it because the clutch didn’t work for a couple weeks and then when the kick starter broke I did the same thing. That thing was fun but always something wrong with it. 2 morons stole it from my shed one night and didn’t realize I had the head off while fixing the head studs and pushed it into an irrigation ditch when they realized it wouldn’t start and left it there about 200yds from my house and a cop found it that morning lol.

I kept my eye out on Maier's website and ebay to find a closeout or blems. Finally a set of front/rear fenders popped up that were blems so I bought those. Didn't save a ton of $$ but it was cheaper than normal price.
Can't be as picky on colors doing it this way though.

**Jim mac** · 02-11-2021, 05:22 PM

400 bucks isn't too bad, buy it once and be done with it. I could trim the cracked fender back but it just looks so horrible. jim

**Jim mac** · 02-11-2021, 05:46 PM

forgot, I still need the hi flite seat kit for my 185s. jim

Great advice!

Another vote for replacing the whole set. In addition to difference in condition and color fade, it also helps prevent color mis-match, Maier red being different than Honda red for example.

hardest part is deciding on a color, ended up ordering the white fenders with the decal kit. Seat cover is blue, going to leave the stock scoops for now. jim

Maier had a good deal on a set of whites for a 350x today.
