    UFO plastics - Everyone reply!

    I think they are the best quality & color of all plastics. If they would make them I'm sure they would easily out do Maier. Would you buy if they made?

    Get enough positive replies and I'll send this to UFO.

    How about you do a thing for OEM plastic and send it to them? Screw aftermarket plastic. If you want sombody to start making plastic have it be OEM.

    Every UFO I have ever bought matches perfect as far as motocross bikes are concerned. OEM would be quite I bit more expensive.
    Actually on my one bike the UFO fit better then the original! The rear OEM had a slight tweak to one side. Just the way it was molded I guess? The UFO did not!

    I'm all for every bit of aftermarket support we can get. The odds of the OEM's reproducing anything is pretty slim.

    Question if anyone know. Does UFO use injection molding like OEM or vacum molding like maier?

    Thats a good ? All that I know is it looks every bit like OEM. The Maier has a "harder" look to it and the molds don't seem exactly right sometimes.

    If UFO uses injection molding I'd be completely in favor of petitioning them heavily to make some trike parts. It would be the closest we'll probably ever get to OEM again.

    Well not all aftermarket, I like aftermarket parts that don't exist in OEM, like fork gaurds and other add ons. Just saying If it is available in OEM then I'd rather have it in OEM.

    If the price is not to outragous I would definitaly buy the UFO over Maier

    The oem plastic is way cheaper than maier for the tri-z.
