uk421Shee Posted July 21, 2011 Report Posted July 21, 2011 Just got my new black plastics from Yamaha and im thinking of cutting them down as i like the trimmed look!! Not so sure about it though.........dont know if the retro look with front mud gaurds suites the banshee better??? What do you guys think? Quote
Dicklez Posted July 21, 2011 Report Posted July 21, 2011 I would have a hard time cutting into a brand new fender. Quote
uk421Shee Posted July 21, 2011 Author Report Posted July 21, 2011 Yes tahts my point exactly, seems a little harsh even if i do love the trimmed look!!! The full set was quite expensive from Yamaha UK Quote
DallasGDub Posted July 21, 2011 Report Posted July 21, 2011 I have a brand new set of white plastic that I did not want to cut, so I painted an old set white that was already cut. I could not bring myself to do it. Quote

Zwiser Posted July 22, 2011 Report Posted July 22, 2011 why didnt you just buy the maier ones that are pre cut for like $90 Quote
toytech Posted July 22, 2011 Report Posted July 22, 2011 why didnt you just buy the maier ones that are pre cut for like $90 yamaha plasic has a better finish Quote
Glenyboy Posted July 22, 2011 Report Posted July 22, 2011 why didnt you just buy the maier ones that are pre cut for like $90 I also live in the uk and enquired about a race cut fender from maier, and they wanted $90 + $500 delivery! I've gone with a voltric which was under half of that delivered! By chance how much was the fender off of yamaha? I'm after buying a rear one. Quote
uk421Shee Posted July 22, 2011 Author Report Posted July 22, 2011 yamaha plasic has a better finish Plus only the Yam black plastics have the metalic finish too, ive gone black front fender, black rear, white tank covers and red radiator cover. The Yam ones just look better if you ask me, want it to look as factory as possible in places Quote

Ill get the exact price i have it at home on my paperwork, they were pretty expensive but well worth it if you ask me Quote
Glenyboy Posted July 22, 2011 Report Posted July 22, 2011 I'm currently converting mine for the road, i never realised it would be such a pain the ass!! I may do a few enduro's soon as I do have off road tyres as well as road tyres, I'm from essex and have 2 tracks nearby to ride but haven't had a lot if time to get to either of them. Just looked up your town is there many places to ride up derby way? Quote

Hey dude i can help you out with that if you need any pointers they are a bit of a pain to get road legal but its so worth it when you blast past a 4 banger!!! So many shit quads on our roads these days Banshee's are true old school beasts!! On the road they dominate. Derbyshires good mate, lots of good roads to ride on and Matlock Bath is very popular with bikers of all kinds. Im pretty lucky in that aspect. I love the country lanes and open roads where you can let rip!!! Just sold my mx bike for banshee funds but i plan to build another 450 after christmas once the banshee is back up and running as i do love the jumps and stuff with mx and miss my PEP shocks bigtime!!!!
