    Just got back from the salvage yard!

    Well I just couldn't pass up getting some plastic for the 200x project. I know they are 250R fenders but they will fit with a little modification . I was going to buy new fenders for it but I like the light blue that these are (they are not painted). They are a little dirty and have some light scratches so they will get some finishing sanding before they are installed. The big bummer is that there are 2 exhaust burns . Anyone have a creative way to fix them?

    The only thing that would cover that up would be some kind of stainless steel plate, It might look a little out of place but so would trying to melt some blue plastic back in there and it would still be noticable. By the way that is a nice shade of blue you got there.

    i would try to sand it down first then try to melt some more plastice over the rough spots and sand it over agian. I think its going to be tricky to do and even more tricky to find plastic of matching collor. But if all that dosnt work i think what Ryah said would be my next route.

    One of my friends tried the welding thing and it didn't work very well. I plan on giving it another try this summer though.

    That is what I was thinking but it is going to be hard to find the same color.

    I think I will be able to reform the 200x seat pan and use that. If it works then yes the seat will be for sale but unfortunatly there are a couple quarter inch rips in it.

    The salvage yard is called Cycle Recyclers, they are in Rochester, PA 15074. It is about 20 minutes from where I go to college. I head back home to NY on Monday.

    If you want to match the color, just shave pieces off of the underside of the plastic with a razerblade in a bunch of differant spots. You'll have the exact same color and probaly wouldnt be able to notice where it came from

    Right now they are not for sale. I still have to try them on the 200x and as long as it doesn't take too much to make them work then I am keeping them.
