Im buying the ufo plastics for my yz85, but I don’t know if I should buy them from the official website or eBay ? Can you maybe give your opinion where to buy ?
@@assia5138 I disagree. UFO plastics were closer to OEM plastics when I compared them to the OEM plastics. UFO flexes similarly to Honda's, and Honda plastics were extremely robust.
I run ALL Acerbis plastics on my YZ125 and YZ250 hold up good, very good fitting, no movement, flex is just enough for it too bend in with impact as I race and haven't had 1 acerbic plastic snap get warped or anything they do get the fade color when bent so many times in crashes but I think acerbic is one of the better companies don't get me wrong UFO is amazing too
I'm trying to find Plastics for a CRF that aren't as pointed like a typical Plastic on dirtbikes..i want some that are kind of rounded to eventually buy some super moto wheels and rims for a conversion
I see UFO universal fender kits ( Orange ) and other colors on amazon and bike bandit web sites just today . I just ordered the UFO Yamaha Blue fender kit for my dr 350 . If your still looking check these sites out ....
you want plastics to have flex like that especially dirt bikes , there constantly hitting shit , and when u wheelie and ur back fender hits it wont break if u got flex in them like the acerbis plastics.
Ray Eh I'd prefer to buy OEM because they are the best quality by far in my opinion. However, I wouldn't spend that kind of money for plastics, hence being happy with the plastics that feel closest to the OEM flex and quality. I'm not debating we need flex, but too much flex from being flimsy and thin leaves you with ugly discoloration where you can see creases, maybe not ugly, I'm sure some riders might like the pink crease marks from where the fender folded over. UFO's haven't cracked or snapped but have scuffs as normal and hold shape pretty well after a fall. Thanks for your comment.
Blake Vella I agree. I feel the OEM plastics are probably the best, and IMO the UFO's feel closer to OEM in regards to stiffness and flex. I'm not trying to demonstrate the UFO plastics as being hard, and brittle. but I think the Acerbis would crease easily in a fall, where I think the UFO's would recover their shape better after the same fall. Thanks for the comment.
Steve Ringer I'll clear it up for you, since your genius self can't figure it out. www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=m.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3D5XU4C6yZlzw&ved=0ahUKEwj2ov-J0eDPAhXhv1QKHTUMC9wQtwIIGzAA&usg=AFQjCNEsgREVpMPH6Zp_jk3hd0h0JX3s3A
TheDragorin They are both flexible enough for dirt. I see the UFO's holding up better in a crash. Just showing the differences for those looking at purchasing plastics and aren't sure which to choose. Also, the UFO's feel more similar to the Honda OEM plastics as far as flex goes vs. the Acerbis.
+USA Outdoorsman The way your flexing the fenders does not happen when its on the bike, The sole purpose of a fender to to block the dirt flying off the wheel. The softer fender is not as loud when riding through rocks and hard packed dirt either! UFO is known for making junk products, Acerbis is not!
SlammedBeretta When a fender flexes at 65+ mph it's annoying to feel it vibrate and shake through the front end, also if you compare to oem, UFO's are a closer match to feel, and flexing the fender the way I did, is the same direction the wind flexes my fender when riding. I can't say I've noticed a difference in sound of dirt and rocks lol, post a video up on that one and compare. Maybe look into a decent exhaust if the sound of hard pack dirt is making a lot of noise on your fender lol. Glad you shared your opinion on what you prefer. UFO is quite superior to the Acerbis as shown in my video IMO.
USA Outdoorsman I race hare scrambles and motocross. The exhaust note is behind you when your riding so its not that loud when having your bike pinned in 3rd gear as it is to bustanders.
