dude, on plastic, go stock, it costs, but takes a better beating, cleans up better and just looks great, i have an 87 banshee, looks like new and has been through 5 motors and 3 sets of plastic!!!! the maier stuff looks like crap and decals dont stick to it, i dont know who this full bore is, but if it is even close to maier, steer clear, maier is good if you dont have the green, but if you want to look clean, stay stock

Fullbore has the same fit and finish of stock plastic but different styling. It cost a little more than stock too. I would never get maier i think it looks like crap also. The fullbore plastic is supposed to have rounded edges etc and the front peice that i have seen looks real trick only diff is they dont have the front fenders its like they are shaved off.

Trinity racing sells full bore, it is higher quality than stock, new yamaha plastic sucks especially blue, i know cause i have it, it whites out and dulls easily, full bore has a 10 times more shiny look than maier, which unfortunately sucks, because they specialize in more than one thing, full bore on the other hand is much smaller than maier. It is a nice product

You can take that white out of your blue plastic with a heat gun. Be careful though. As the plastic get hotter you will see the white start to disappear. It may dull the finish just a bit, but that may not matter if it's scratched anyway.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong...But I have the full race mair plastic in purple for my 96 Banshee....where was the complaint?

It looks good...It is not dull..and my stickers stick....Oh yeh..I ride my ATV too.

Some people complain about dulling and sagging rear fenders. I took a good deal of time measuring and fitting the plastic about a year ago....It still holds a shine and the fit is quite nice...though it is different than stock. that I will agree....But with the proper effort and preparation, I feel it works just fine.
I will send you pictures if your interested.
Soon I will have a web page up and running..when I have the time.
Good luck...and I would like to see this so called full bore plastic also.

I have a set of Full Bore plastic on my 250R. It is extremely glossy and looks great...but, it can't handle stress like stock plastic. The rear fenders flop around so much they are almost broken off (cracked on both sides). The stock plastic has supports on it to keep it from bouncing too bad. The Full Bore plastic is much harder and more likely to crack rather than flex like the stock stuff. I don't recomend their rear fenders at all. The fronts have held up well and still look good but that's only because they are race cut and can't flop around like the back ones.
