03 CR250 plastic

[kjjz28]

Does anyone know if fenders and radiator shrouds from a 2005 CR250 will fit on a 2003 CR250? Also, what's the best aftermarket plastic company to purchase from that looks as close to stock as possible? What about OEM graphics? I'm sure American Honda is very proud of their stock parts. Thanks!

I replaced all the plastics on my 03 CR250 with Acerbis and bought the OEM replica graphics from Factory Effex. They look great.

Yes they will fit. There isnt ANY aftermarket plastic thats as "clean" as oem, but fit is usually fine. Go with UFO, acerbis has wayyyyyy too much left-over flash from the molds.Im not saying ufo doesnt have any but acerbis is covered with it. Ill never buy acerbis again, NEVER.

I always go over the edges of my aftermarket stuff with some 120grit emery cloth to clean off any leftover flash, then follow up with some 2000grit & rub swiftly with a clean rag to bring back the polished look. I wouldnt do much if any sanding on white plastics though. The whites show dirt very easy on sanded parts. Of course most dont do this but im pretty particular with my bikes

As reean said , the factory FX oem replicas are great. I think N-style makes them as well. Not too long ago i saw a set of fxf oem's sell for 7 dollars on ebay, def worth a look

Thanks for the help folks! I will certainly look into the OEM Factory Effex graphics. In looking at the UFO and Acerbis plastic, the red doesn't look as dark as the OEM plastic...it looks a little brighter or does it match?

Thanks again.

The OEM stuff on my CR was a tad faded so when i got all of my red UFO plastic it was actually a bit darker. I just walked out to the shop and the insides of the oem shrouds (un-faded spot lol) looked to be a perfect match.

This is all UFO advertised as 00-08' CR RED... I wouldnt use the pics on motosport & BTO etc as good color examples, the plastic will look alot better when its sitting in front of you
