I was gonna ask where you got the black side covers, but then i saw "paint" and then the green underside of the front fender...

So i'm assuming you just painted everything. What kinda paint did you use? that Krylon fusion?

sintax,it?s only frontfender painted black and the frame,other black parts can you buy. 8-)
(I like just that frontfender because it?s very wide and protect very well from dirt,and it was green as you see before) :wink:

That bike looks great!  Doordie how good is the maier plastics?  I had used them on my 87 CR250 back in the very early 90's and they were junk back then.  Very thin and cheap plastic.  Is the quality of the plastic comparable to UFO or Acerbis now?  I am not in the market for plastics right now but would like to know how good the maier stuff is now.

No where near the quality of UFO plast. Tuckerocky has UFO plast black plastics for your bike.

Use search funktion if you want the whole story. :wink:
It?s a Yellow bike (will not say the words)DRZ-400 combo from Rekluse. :-D
BUT it fits not right on.... :wink:

I can tell you that thing working awesome,did my first real test yesterday and after 2 hours riding i think to myself,WHY have?t I done this before,perfect for trail and enduro,for MX you have to get use with a little time before it get engaged when you rev up,otherwise working just fine. 8-)
