Default Who makes plastics for 2018-2020 bikes

All the 18-19 plastics are unique to those years (except pieces forward of the handle bars) and since every bike that will use those plastics has already been built I doubt that any more of the plastics will ever be produced. I want to stock up. I love this bike and want to keep it forever.
Only GASGAS pl?stics...

Maybe, JOTAGAS in The future.

I searched for over a week, so the answer is: no one (except GasGas)

POLISPORT makes the plastic but you can't buy it in the US, only from a Gas gas Dealer in US. You used to be able to buy it overseas and ship it here but GG put a stop to that.

That embargo may be lifted, since GGNA doesn't exist anymore.

That's what I'm thinking. About 10-12 years ago there were 5 polisport importers here in the U.S. and you could order direct from some of them. I got a full set of plastics for my 07 gasser for $107 total mailed to my door from the one in California.
I understand GG pushing polisport to stop that to help GG dealers but that situation no longer exists. GG dealers still exist and need to be supported but I bet KTM ,while supportive of their GG dealers, will welcome declining supplies of specific older GG parts to force buyers into buying new bikes that KTM makes.

Maybe we could get one of the polisport importers to place a special order for us if we did a large group order. It wouldn't have to be specific to the newer bikes we could open it up to all year models. I would be in for 2 sets.

FWIW, I "upated" my 2002 EC300 with a GG transformation kit, which uses a mix of specific plastic and 2011 plastics. The plastic was made by Polisport. Motocenter in AZ was able to order plastics i needed to fit the showa damper to my bike. Parts were here in a week. The Polisport headlight shell had a manuf. date of 39/2011 (39'th month) and it was REALLY dusty, but it fit great, and works just as well.
