I am getting really annoyed with the cheap paint job on the 300ex's (sport quads) why couldn't they powder coat them like the utility machines it really bugs me
i think i am going to have to get a full undercarrage skid
also i take really good care of my machine but everytime i look at it, it makes me sad because my plastic isn't in very good shape (should i replace it or renuw it) if i do get new stuff is there a better kind of plastics to buy that won't look like **** so quickly?

Guys I know what you mean. I have found that a good coat of tire wet on the plastic works great. Spray it on, and rub it in. Its like a sore peter, you just can't beat her.

That's what I have always used. Also helps keep mud from sticking to it. (WD-40)
