2012 plastics ??

[Watty]

Morning chaps , I've been searching for a plastics kit in white for my 2012 ec with no luck at all , I wonder if any of you kind people know of a uk supplier for this kit or even just some of the kit such as rad shrouds , I've emailed polisport but I'm still awaiting a reply , they have the parts on their website but nobody in the uk seems to stock it :0(

Try motorcrosscentre.com

This guy has Polisport plastics listed on his website, but not for 12s, may be worth an email though.

For that you should be glad. Both the top and bottom attachments were push-pins into grommets. When the rads got hot, the grommets got soft, and the pins popped out allowing the rad shrouds to flap in the breeze - but you already knew that. Alternatively the poorly molded lower post simply broke off.

The 13 design is much better - while the top still uses a push-pin, the lower bolts to a special plastic-encased brass nut at the lower point. Additionally, ribbing was molded into the shroud to limit the flex when clenched by the riders knees, another reason the 12s were prone to pop out.

We've got 13 plastic in stock.

Thanks Two wheels , yep I'm aware if the problems with the plugs popping out hence why mine have a cable tie through the plug to stop them from popping out , I'm not fussed if I get the 12 or 13 plastics either will do , I'm afraid with shipping costs it would be rather expensive to get some sent from yourself although I may call my cousin who is a gasser dealer in Canada and see what he can do regards costs to ship over here , just seems strange that they are as rare as hens teeth over here in the uk and polisport can't even be arsed to get back to me with an answer as to who has any in the uk ..

Just wondering if anyone has purchased the plastics with decals already on them as a kit from motocrosscentre.com and if so, what were they like?
Did the decals stay stuck properly or were they like the ones that came with the bike?
Cheers Mark

Same quality as oem. I haven't had a problem with the stock or replacement kit decals peeling.

No worries,
Thanks Mark
