February 9, 200818 yr just got a new rear gaurd for me 06 beta 55 quid? why so bloody pricey? anyone know anywhere you can get plastics cheap? surely cant be 55 quid for a rear mudgaurd?
February 9, 200818 yr Yeh - that's about right. Down under they're $130.00 incl gst !!! Try buying a genuine Montesa - $280.00 incl gst!!!! Kal
February 9, 200818 yr Get a spare one free with Gas Gas!!! But I can't break mine !! it just bends...and I do try hard
February 9, 200818 yr it,s a right scam, I have noticed plastics prices have shot up over last three years, are the manufacturers operating some sort of cartel ? it,s about time someone (I wish I had the funds and the knowhow) set up moulding spurious plastics for all the trials bikes, sure it could be done cheaper and still make a healthy profit ! (they do it for MX bikes so cant be a copyright issue)
February 9, 200818 yr i heard dealers were being asked to put them up 10%, but may just be speculation. Lots of people seem to be snappin em at the minute. I guess it means your tryin i suppose.lol
February 9, 200818 yr I did look into manufacturing replacement plastics a while ago but you'd need to shift bloody loads of them to recoup the initial setup costs (moulds etc.) - either that or set an SP not far off the OEM price in which case what's the point? Guess that's why there's no-one doing it
February 10, 200818 yr Author you would think when they can manufacture mx plastic for a lot less than oem,someone in the far east could come up with trials plastics,after all its just 2 pieces really on each bike,not 4 or 5! and one front mudgaurd could do all!
