Is there anything I can buy to help my fenders look better?

[roger86200x]

is there anything I can buy and apply to my fenders that are kind of faded and other plastics that will make them look better?

[PowerTrike]

There is plastic restore products. I'm not sure exactly how well they work. I've seen them in Dennis Kirk and shade Tree Pwrsports to name a couple. Or you could just buy a shiny pair of new maiers... :)

[TeCaTe_MaN]

600 and 1200 grit sandpaper..get down to that unfaded plastic and it will look good as new, and the 1200 is so fine that it will look glossy as hell ;)

[AirManCam]

True dat lol. But the fade may be too far down :D

[roger86200x]

lol.... i never woulda thought to sand it, thanx.... and new plastics r 2 expensive! I am goin 2 buy some used ones from some1 here prolly

[AirManCam]

LOL After market arent too bad. But stock are!

[roger86200x]

you call $134 for Maier ones cheap?? I dont have $134 to piss away on fenders, lol :( but I hopefully will buy this used set from this guy

[AirManCam]

Actually I do call $134 cheap! Its $97 for my front fender! Stock that is. So yes I would call that cheap. ;)

[roger86200x]

thats STOCK... for a stock rear for my 86 200x its $268.26!! and sure $134 is a lot better but it still aint cheap!

[AirManCam]

The stock rear fenders for my 350x are over $350 So yes lol thats cheap. I would rather pay $134 then $268 ;)

Wet sand it up to 2000 grit then buff it and itll get close. Aint factory shine, but better that that white glaze. I was able to get a better shine by using a heat gun to melt the surface but thats also a good way to ruin a fender!

[roger86200x]

I dont care if the fenders are $1000.... 134 still ISNT cheap.... unless you can pull 100's outta yer ass or you just have cash 2 piss away!

[AirManCam]

I can pull $100s outta my ass but thats besides the point lol. ;) So did you try sanding it yet or no?

[roger86200x]

nope... no time!! BUSY! lol and send me a few $100's

[350x'inNY]

Last I knew stock OEM fenders for a 350X were discontinued! You have a front '86 hiding somewhere? :?

[AirManCam]

Nope oem fenders for a 350x are still in production :D I had to buy some about 4 months ago :-D

[350x'inNY]

Dang.... you must have gotten the last sets because I tried to purchase through Bike Bandit and Service Honda and both said discontinued.

[AirManCam]

I can go down right now any buy them from service honda :? Hmm.... This is weird. Maby they just have left overs?

[350x'inNY]

Well... there site says they have a bunch of items, but when you actually call them, they are discontinued. The guy at Service Honda said their website listing is updated 2x a year. They just went discontinued late May/Early June.

If you think $134.00 is a lot of money,you better hope you never have any major problems with your ride.

[ANTI-QUAD]

Hey roger 86200X, did you try restoring your fenders yet?I just did the head lite bezzel on a 225 i bought,this thing had a nasty glaze on it. first I used a new utility knife blade to scrape the glaze down. That alone made a huge diff. and saved a lot of sanding, then i used 400,600 and 1000 grit paper,didn't go too crazy but did a fair job. then i put my buffing wheel in the vise so i could hold the piece in my hand(note: don't use rubbing compound,I found that it causes too much friction and can do more harm than good) just lightly buff to a shine,then i put a little compound on with a rag and wiped it back off and rebuffed ,looks pretty damn good.p.s. when you sand...wet sand! ....think i'll try to find some of that plastic restorer....good luck!!!

[mkramm]

Check on ebay for plastic polish, there is tons of it for sale. I have the exact same problem on my warrior, very very thick & nasty glaze, however, I found some 400 grit sand paper for my palm sander, Im gonna go over it with that first :). :shock:
