kal Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 Yeh - that's about right. Down under they're $130.00 incl gst !!! Try buying a genuine Montesa - $280.00 incl gst!!!! Kal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ausy300pro Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 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) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sectiononecleaner Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neonsurge Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickstart101 Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 I got a brand new one for my gasser last week, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastandyc Posted February 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 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!
