I bought this 250SX rear fender on ebay and am going to resell it when I'm done.
Just thought I'd show how nasty this thing was (well 1/2 still is) and the amount of weathered sun blasted plastic I had to scrape off with razor blade and then sand to get it to look respectable again.
I figure I'll get (I hope) a good buck for it because nice SX rear fenders are extremly rare.

I'd say about 3 hours. The tool box is in great shape too but lid is same way.Originally Posted by badasskfx
That pile there is over a foot long, sort of hard to tell in pic.

Thanks buddy.
I'm really anxious to put it back on ebay but can't decide if I should put that on my SX which will make it nicer to sell or let the stiched one on (it's still solid, just one corner stiched) and sell this one seperate, just don't know which way to go
HELLO, my name is stickers!
Catch me if you can
Ebay it. Everyone and their mothers are looking for OEMs in nice shape. I'd even go a step further and get the decals for it. if you can find cheap ones.
Lookin good!

Man, you've got more patience than me! Especially to resell. I would have to make a $400 profit to do all of that. Looks real good.

Well if you could still buy them they are over 300 new if you add all the parts up, so you guys think I could get 200 for it possibly ? maybe more,
less?

Well it really isn't hard work at all and if I could get 150-200, that's fine by me.
I can't recall EVER seeing a nice SX rear fender on ebay, so maybe it will surprize me and I'll get enough to buy another trike!
You can get brand new maiers yet but they don't have the tool box and certainly are not as nice.
You really think decals will make that much difference Chris, I mean they can just buy them themselves and slap them on ?

Last set I seen in nice shape went for $160 or so... depends on who wants them. shipping charges is what hurts the final price. mucho dinero to ship rear fenders...Well it really isn't hard work at all and if I could get 150-200, that's fine by me.

never know about the decals... wouldn't hurt (if you get them for a few bucks) and people like things that are easy. if they already have decals... that's one less thing a potential buyer has to worry about.
When you list them (if you do) be sure to take good closeup pics.. are there alot of deep scratches? also gotta remeber that it seems ebay is a buyers market lately.. must be with the upcoming holidays and gas prices. folks are just sitting on their money.

No, they are not that much to ship, I shipped one already quite a ways and it was only 22 bucks or so BUT YES, I have seen some ask 30, 40 even 50 bucks for shipping.
Come to think of it, I have another set yet, that was on the 250 I gave you, dang, I forgot all about that. I think just one corner is rivited a few inches and thats it, have to go check that out.
BTW ........a couple year ago there was a guy that posted yellow yamaha fenders that he did, spent 10 hours on them and did a excellent job, they looked like brand new if I remember correct, I did a search but can't find it, can't recall which model either, maybe a 200 ?

Nope, will have no deep scratches, the fender certainly isn't a a perfect 10 but will look darn nice when done. There are a few minor surface cracks but not all the way through.
I think the other side will be easier to do, it's not quite as bad and the mold on that side (side of fender) will let me razor blade the crap off easier.
For sure on the close ups, I always do that.
I could call it a OEM custom one now because it will be a light weight one with all the shavings I took off
One thing that blows is once those mud flap screws rust, forget trying to get them out, just FORGET IT! If you try to drill them out, the heat will melt the plastic, been there/ done that a few years ago.
I was darn lucky to get the three bolts out for tool box, I was praying that they turn and of course the last one was the toughest (aren't they always?) but I did get it out.

Will do. under the "Ebay Discussion and Linkage" that is.
I hope to put the whole SX on in about a week or so .
I'd put items on here in the classifieds but it seems I have no luck selling stuff on here.
