Bargain plastics
 

I have just bought replacement body panels from my local dealer in black, they cost less because apparently they come out of the mould in this colour (they do seem to scratch easily though). The rear tail unit was just under �7 and the tank sides were under �8 each. Bargain!

Sounds like normal dealer prices to me...lucky my X is black eh? :D

fae yamaha....tail piece is �21...tank side panels are �26 each front headlight surround is �23....try buying the correct sticker kit,,,,then ye`l get a fright..Adam...ye got a bargain mate....

Interestng....I got my tank side panel for 11 squid from the dealer. I also know how much stickers are...and how there's no chance I'll even consider getting any!

Thought I'd check out the prices from my local Yam dealer, emailed them this afternoon and this is their response !!!! .............

The prices for the parts you require are as follows,

Tank Side panels with all the decals = �147.35 + VAT for both
Headlight Assy = �65.42 + VAT
Taillight Assy = �27.75 + VAT

All parts take aroung 3-4 working days.

Decals must be bloody expensive! Which dealers are doing them cheaper? :help:

they are crooks this is the quotaiton I had

see attached

ignore the last item that was a quotation for a whole red/black seat assembly. Throw this quotation in their face and let them explain to you how can their prices be so high?

So did anyone work out where is the cheapest place to buy replacement plastics (Black or otherwise)?

Must be Adam26, I assume this is Carrick yamaha in edinburgh. First time they have been cheap for anything. :055:

You could have tried painting them with Clear coat to help stop then scratch. But the Plain Plastics all scratch. That is why the MX bikes tend to have stickers on them.

Re the black panels
 

I'm in Australia where those panels are quite pricey. would you mind letting me know your dealer so I could see if he will ship to Australia. Thanks Grffith

Dear Griffith,

What year and model and I will ask my Local :068:Stealer for a price. If can or won't post to you I will get a price for this when I know the weight of them. :crowded:

Grffith has a 2004 XTX.:o

Thanks Colin, I have a 04 Xt660x. to give you an idea. here in Sydney Aust a full set would sting me AUSD$460 thats about 160-170 pound
thanks Rob

Not got the dealer yet, had some work to do, and everytime |i get a chance they are on the phone. Just to say the prices people are banding about are for Bare plastics with NO graphics on them. :)

As usual I just post and then I get them on the phone.

What they call a set in either Blue of metalic Grey? Both fenders, radscoops, and headlight surround �95 inc vat. Not sure If they could export without VAT. (I would need to check with my Accountant to see if I can)
