Where to Get Plastic Body Pieces??
 

I have a 94 xt600, it needs some plastic replaced..is it offered in the aftermarket? What other years is the plastic interchangeable?

1990-1994

no aftermarket, but you can find on ebay sometimes, original plastic parts should be available but with high prices.

thing I did was sand the plastic with 360 grit and painted it with Duplicolor spray on truck bed liner in a can. Comes out flat black with texture and doesn't come off like paint. worked great and since I was looking for black plastic it saved me a lot of money. I had maybe 15 bucks into it.

my problem is that the ferrings under the gas tank are all cracked...essentially those are the only pieces I need, but i have considered painting them...are they hard to clean with the truck bed liner?

JB Weld will fix those cracks.:wink3:

I'd be interested in some new plastics too, but not at OEM prices! The trouble with s/h stuff is that it has all suffered the same damage as the bits you are trying to replace - in my case, the mounting lugs snapped off. If any came up on eBay in perfect condition, my guess is that they would fetch very good money indeed.

I'm interested in the truck-bed liner idea, but am also concerned that cleaning would be an issue.

As to the air scoops, 90fiveoh, leave 'em off - it looks fine without! (Well, mine does, anyway, I think.) They serve no useful purpose apart from 'styling'.

yeah ive seen the oem prices and if i put new plastic on from them it would equal more then i paid for the bike! I'll try taking the air scoops of this weekend and see how i like it. wasnt sure if it would expose wiring ect..
thanks for the info guys!

Nothing exposed except the little brackets welded onto the tank for the mountings. To be honest, I took them off a few weeks ago and I hardly notice they're missing now. I've promised myself an Acerbis tank one day, in which case it won't be an issue.

I took mine off----cut out a template ,with thin cardboard/thick paper.Transfered that to some dense 5mm foam i had laying round. bought some "Leopard skin" material,conned "she who rules" :helpsmilie:to sew it round the edges.& stuck that on. Looks cool!!!!.:clap:
Did it in one piece,wrapping it in front of the seat,held @ the sides by the bolts for the scoops & a little contact glue.:D------AL
