Your opinions on Maier

[mat1977]

I ordered new plastics the other day.I wanted to go red this time and had a he11 of a time finding oem,so I went with Maier race cut fronts and rear fenders as well.Anyhow after doing some onsite research I found alot of negative comments about they're products.I know the rear fender bracket is a concern with the mounting and such,so before i get into this any insight would be appreciated.Any pics would be cool too.Thanks again fellas,Mat

almost everything aftermarket. theres always fitting problems. lol so you might need to do some fitting work.

I just bought a new full set of maier plastics for my 250r and they seem pretty nice. The mounting wasnt that hard, didnt have to mod the fronts at all, came with the right brackets. There might be an issue with the nose piece and the left/right front fenders all aligning perfectly. But its not a big deal.

I'm happy with mine. If that helps you at all.

Where can i get OEM plastics? I just using my 440ex for driving around the streets.. no trail riding really. Here in South Dakota.. We can drive atv's on the streets like regular cars and motorcycles..!

ebay is always an option

This place has some of the best OEM Honda prices I have ever found. Their customer service is not the best as far as communication, but the parts usually arrive in a timely manner.

I priced all of the plastic body parts for an 05 including the decals and it was only $250ish plus shipping;

I always buy oem plastic off of ebay. either honda of troy or yamaha of troy sell kits.

[mat1977]

:mad: something got screwed up with the fronts,So as of now just the rears are coming.So I was wondering do they work with stock fronts?

[tman12345]

my maiers

[mat1977]

Nice! Couple questions.. Whats up with the rear fender bracket,and as of now all I have is rears being shipped to me do you know if they mount up to oem fronts?I would imagine they would have to but I want to be sure.

[tman12345]

i don't know about the rear fender brackets because mine is not from maier it's from K&K but the rears definitely work with oem fronts, you should have no problems with that.

[mat1977]

Allright cool,Hows the K&K fender bracket?less flop?or is it just a replacement?

[tman12345]

pretty much the same as stock, still flops.

[j450rking]

well the bracket on the maier ones isn't vary good. atleast on the older ones that i have. they have the bar and these little l brackets and the bar slides in the l brackets so they flop alot

[BSchorr]

Why doesn't Maier fix their $hit and make stuff directly bolt in on instead of altering a product for a specific machine? Ask me, its bad!

[j450rking]

you know why they make you use the new mounts and stuff! it's easyer to make the plastic without the mounts like oem and give a brackets and the chepest bolts i have ever seen i might add

I was about to order 1 srew from there for $0.57, and they were going to charge me $16 shipping. I dont think i will ever do business there. Sorry I wasn't trying to hi-jack your thread. I just thought i would share my experience on that site.:(

[TRXRacer1]

No issues with my Maier plastic. I like them better then my stockers. The fit was good and no problem with brackets.
