marky g Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 I've got a yellow front guard off a 03 rev3, brand new, still got the cover on the sticker..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
essex rider Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 what i did with an old mudguard was cut the ridge where it curves round off then put a flick in the end, its still brittle but can flex backwards and scrape on the ground without snapping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neonsurge Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 A while ago I looked into the possibility of manufacturing aftermarket plastics for trials bikes. I'm sure most of us break either the front or rear mudguards at least once a year and OEM replacements are very expensive. I also thought that it'd be nice to provide colour alternatives - how about a white Beta for example (or maybe pink for Essex Rider ) However, some preliminary enquiries suggested that the initial expense of having moulds made etc. to cover all the different models and years of bikes would be prohibitively expensive given the relatively small market and probable short-term returns. Still, I'm surprised none of the larger aftermarket manufacturers (Acerbis or Polisport for example) haven't picked up on the trials market. Maybe it's because (most) trials riders replace plastics through neccessity, not vanity and fashion as seems to be the case in MX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
