Dissapointed in the quality of Honda plastic!

believe it or not the soft plastics are a must if you expect them to hold up with any hard impact or cold weather driving....i have a 99 450 and had a 86 trx 350...the 350 plastic would crack much easier,but it was harder....i have found that a good coat of amorall covers a lot of sins....i believe in the dennis kirk cat you will find plastic scratch remover

Me too! After the maiden ride on my new green Rubicon, I gave it a bath and towel dried it. After pulling it into the garage, I saw the scratches from the towel, plus lots of scratches & smudges from the easy going ride. I talked to the dealer and they said that they never dry ATVs with anything except compressed air. Hmmm, the owners manual says to "wipe it dry". Oh well, I understand that the plastic has to be soft to withstand cracking and breaking but it's a shame that the finish is so delicate.
BTW, Polaris is just as bad and Yamaha plastic seems a bit more durable.

I checked out the James Greene fender kit and it's certainly an option. Thanks a lot. I just wonder if the cover itself will scratch the plastic. I had a nylon bag tied to my front rack and the friction caused the plastic underneath to turn cloudy, after a couple of hours.
I'm sure that I'll chill out about the scratches after I recover from writing that big check for the Ruby. This might be one of those things that I shouldn't worry about since I don't have any control over it!
