After 7 years of rolling my Raptor numerous times, its time to replace my stress marked, scratched up, cracked and stitched up fenders. Other than stress marks, they did fine for 6 years and then last year they started cracking (both rear fenders).

I'm looking for opinions (& I know there are plenty of those on this great forum!).

I really like the factory blue fenders, but they get stress marks really easy.
I hate the nose piece on Maier plastics, but Fullbore doesn't look too bad.

Do any of you have an opinion on Fullbore plastic?
Would blue Fullbore plastic hold up better (less stress marks)?

Also, if I stick with factory plastic and went with Gray - do these get stress marks as bad?

I know white is the ticket for hiding stress marks - but I don't really like white.

 

i know you need new plastics, but you can pretty much fix stress marks with a heat gun. maybe consider this in your new set when picking a color? good luck!

 

Yeah. I have a heat gun for electronics work (shrink tube). It works pretty good at getting out the smaller stress marks. The bigger ones (where the mounting flages are) don't come out as easy.

I think I'm leaning toward staying blue - I can get front/rear fender for ~$369.

 

If its a 660r you could probably go with the red/white stock plastic off of an 05, it prolly wiuldn't be to hard to find nor expensive and white will not show stress marks. Just an idea..............
