Maybe you could get a heat-gun and warm up the plastics. You could then form the plastics the way you want them.
Just an idea, i have no idea if it will work.
I let mine sit out in the Texas August sun for about 6 hours then reformed them. At this time of year a heat gun would be a better alternative. I am curious though why the 87 200x plastics love to droop on the corners?

Does that year of 200x have a fender bracket? If not it would be easy to slip in a piece of say 3/16"x5/8" or so alum. flatstock. I added a piece of roundstock to my Tecate, look closely below the seat at the grabber green round stock tucked under the fender. It extends out under the fenders over the tires. Plus when I store my bike after riding I prop the fenders up with extra footpegs (chunk of 2x4, whatever), this trains them to keep their shape.

take off your fenders and turn the upside down, put support under the area where they start to bend then add weights to the outside until they are where you want them let this sit for about a week and it will b fixed... did this to my 86z, or get a rod and wedge from the tire to the fender in the spot you want lifted and just let it sit i have actually used both ways with great success
