Maier-421-535 dollars
Fullbore-635 dollars
Laker Custom-395, and it looks like it needs a gas tank cover so thats another 35-100 dollars.

Fullbores are my favorite, but they are just so expensive. I am not too big on the laker custom front fenders, but they are the cheepest, and the maiers there are so many things u can get it's confusing. I like that with maier I can have a hood that has ether no light or a light, so I can switch between the 2, but the race cut 2 piece fenders look terrible. Or I could spend about another 70 dollars on 2 piece full fenders and cut them. What is everyones oppinions?

I find fullbore to be a waste of money. Plastic gets scratched up if you really ride why would you pay so much for it?

Fullbores or maiers, I've seen lakers and they are VERY thin, they turn white (where you happen to bend and flex them) really fast, and the fronts a weird design, I dont like them too much.

I would say O.E.M or Maier is your best bet. I've been extreamly happy with all the sets we had on my minis and other quads we have owned.

OEM's are out of the question. I need the plastic to be black, and if I'm not mistaken it will be more for OEM than it would be for fullbores.

Maier are much cheaper than that...

Chaparral has them... close estimates of course :)

$330 = Regular Fronts, Rear Fenders, Gas Tank Cover, & Side Panels

$285 = Race Fronts, Rear Fenders, & Gas Tanks Cover

I had some Maiers and loved them. They started out incredibly shiney, got a little less shiney but stayed shiney none-the-less. Very thick and sturdy. I really liked the race fronts... made taking off the front and side panels mucho easier. And if I needed the lights for night riding.. I just taped them on.. lol ... jerry rigged... I know. One more thing... make sure you put some heat tape stuff on the inside of the right rear fender to keep them from melting from the heat of your pipe.

With that said... I think they are a pretty killer deal and are the way to go!

I looded on the maier site and those were the prices I came up with. I had maiers on my 300ex, and I know they are good. Do you have a link for Chaparral?

These are my Lakers, they fit very nice (much better to work with than stockers).
They are about twice as thick as stokers and look SOOOOO much better!!! This pic was fresh off the stand, before I even got all my sponsers and number plated on.
