Yeah he was saying he was going to do race and full fenders since they're the same mould apparently. The mounts is what he said he didn't really have access too for the full fenders if I remember right. They're pretty simple looking, I'm sure people could make them

What makes the full bore better than Maier plastic? I know the older maier stuff was dull and the fit wasn't the greatest, but the newer stuff is better. Just asking cuz I have no firsthand experience with full bore plastic.

I personally think Fullbores are the best looking and one of the stronger plastics out there for the race cut look, I'd probably still go Maier for a full front fender. Having a few Maier sets myself, the Fullbore I have are just a lot stronger/thicker, they've taken some pretty hard power rolls and have never discolored from bending or show any cracks. That fighting red set I just bought did fit great and the red looks so good compared to the old Maier red so can't complain either way really.

Fullbore is stronger and thicker I believe than maier, less flex, IMO the rear maiers get floppy. I bought a set of silvers 2 yrs ago or so, I believe it was the last run they did. Also paid less than the $650. But it is what it is. I think it is worth it, hope they continue to make more runs for our 250R's.

Let's face it, this is exactly how the laws of economics works, supply and demand.

You're a fool if you believe the final selling price is your cost plus some small profit margin. If it costs you $20 to make something, and people are willing to buy it for $1000, do you know what the final cost is? Here's a hint, it's not $30.

Regardless of the price history, or what you guys know of manufacturing costs, the proof is very clear, and irrefutable. Whatever they USED to be making in profit wasn't enough, or that profit no longer exists because of changing manufacturing costs. And why do we know this, why can we state this as an absolute, indisputable fact? Because they stopped.

They're willing to make them again, in a limited run, for $650. I am willing to buy at $650.

Um, there are clearly two sides of the fence here....... food for thought..... (or just my 2 cents worth)

What did Hinson clutch baskets used to sell for? ......... and how about now $$$$$$

All of the complaining about price and availability but I don't see anyone on here ponying up to buy hundreds of thousands of dollars of equipment and materials to make us some fenders.

At some point there just isn't going to be fenders available....ever.....at any cost...... then what will we do with our 25-29 year old quads?

OK, I'm done. :lemo:

P.S. I'm also still looking for someone to sponsor me a set.:ride:

I have been counting down the weeks. We are on week 4 as I ordered 9-23. I am wondering how many sets Carlos:hyp: has ordered for those who can't afford them at this point in time. With a 30% mark up they should be at $900 a set shipped
