Alternative plastic for GasGas?

 This clear coat sealed graphics stuff is too nice to keep smashing to
smithereens.
I'll poke around and see if there's any aftermarket stuff. Any hints are
appreciated.

 
I seem to remember hearing that some year GGs used KX plastic? Am I
nuts? Don't answer that.

The only plastic that you need from GasGas are the radiator shrouds.
The rear fender, side plates and mud flap from the '95 KX250 work just
fine.  Up front, choose any fender you want, but you will need to
drill the proper mounting holes.  Headlights from the aftermarket are
superior, but I rarely need my light.

 Dean,
On trials bikes, (least in the past) you could buy fenders from gas, without
the decals, which means without clearcoat, and of course we could buy decals
ALA Carte, but not anymore.  This was a trick because for some reason the
clear coat was making the plastic brittle (oh 98-02 ish) in cold weather.
We trials riders ride when it is below/close to freezing.

 

Thanks. I thought it was just me, but it seems like I used to be able to
twist a fender pretty severely and get away with it on my other bikes. I had
UFO stuff on My trusty old DT175e and that stuff took repeated beatings with
aplomb.

Yes, we ride in the cold too. It's often better than the summer. Spring is
nice.

Thanks again.
