Polisport is now the OEM plastic supplier for GasGas. We tried bringing in Polisport plastic for a while but the colors did not match very well. At the time most of the colors were slighlty off exact OEM matches.
I have two theories of why the colors may be off:
1) they produce the "aftermarket" product while their finishing up production for either Suzuki (yellow), Honda (red) and Yamaha (blue) and they have left over colored plastic that needs to be mold injected or thrown away.
and/or
2)Some of the plastic pieces may be seconds and the factory rejects them.
In all cases the fit is identical just be prepared for some possible color discrepencies that may arrise.
The ratio of slighlty off colored plastic was maybe 1 in 3 and was more prominent in '06 and older Polisport plastic where some of it wasn't even close.
Please note we had the problem I discribed above over a year ago and they may have worked through the problem.
