Default $90 replacement rear fender? Really?

Wanting to replace the rear fender on my '03 EC250. Ordered one from motorcycle superstore (polisport) and it is too bright a red and does not match the OEM color. It also would not come close to fitting without major surgery.

So, I look up a rear OEM fender on Gofaster and it is listed at over $90

So, any ideas on where to find one? May be interested in side panels too, but afraid to look

I believe GoFasters oem plastic includes stickers.

Try MotoPlasticsUS they don't have your year listed but may still have it. They have the 04-05 listed at $36.00. I would also call GoFasters and see if the price is correct.

GoFasters web prices are NEVER right.
Gas Gas is getting a lot of bad press because of this.

Just call Mark, many things that are listed very high are actually fair.

I've lost track of the number of times people cite the outrageous prices listed on GoFasters.com as a reason not to buy the bike.

Yup. You get tired of "arguing" when it's right there in print.

Yeah we got all new white plastics for my 2010 EC300 from GoFasters and the prices were in line with other brands. I do agree they should do a complete price check on their stuff if nothing else to help ensure they don't lose sales just by being priced wrong.
