    Exclamation yamaha plastic/ please read

    I was in touch with Maier, they said if they had enough feed back about the need for Yamaha plastic ( I was asking for 225 ) they would consider making some, so, if you guys out there with Yamaha's e-mail them with your needs for Yamaha stuff, we may get lucky !

    If they have the mold (or you pay for one to be made, at which point it is your property...), MAIER will make them but usually with a minimum order of 10 or 25 pieces, I'm not sure.

    So, you'll have to start a thread and see how many people are willing to prepay for an order. You'll get excited, get close to the amount you need and then half the guys will back out and you'll end up stitching Rubbermaid trash can lids to your existing fenders

    Thats how it seems to go half the time anyhow Just calling it like I see it......

    I was told the rear fenders are no longer available by a dealer here in NY, another dealer told me no plastic was available , I don't know, but it would be nice to be able to buy nice new stuff, instead of dealing with older plastic.

    I just ordered and received a new front fender and new rear plastic from Yamaha of Troy. I do not think they make the tank plastic or the headlight plastic anymore. At least Yamaha of Troy told me that. Hey, if they wanna make them again, I'd buy a whole set for the heck of it...It would be better than what I have now with two companies making the rear and front fender. They are quiet the same color. Count me in.

    plastic

    well if enough people e-mail them and ask for the Yamaha plastic, maybe that will do it, they said they wanted to know if there was enough demand out there.

    I got the sky blue fenders for my 225DR. Feel really well made, too. Here is a pic. I am still needing to get a pic with them installed. I am having to "freshen" up the tank skins before I show the finished product.

    Yamaha of Troy. They are located in Ohio. Google them and they'll pop up. Someone else on this site mentioned them and during my hunt for some new plastic, they had them.

    Bike Bandit also had some. FYI
