Does any one know where the molds are for early fenders and other body parts for the ATV's. Also who owns the molds for our current body-work. Robert

Weren't the original plastics made by Cycra?

If I remember correctly the original molds were destroyed or broken after the bankruptcy.

Sadly the 2004 prototype plastics never made it into production, so I don't believe there were ever any molds made. Maybe I am wrong though.

That's too bad, looks like they copied Kawasaki's idea for the removable front fenders for the race cut

Those look pretty nice, for sure.

You're not serious are you? LOL

I personally think the prototype fenders are awful...unless you're a huge robocop fan.

Im sure that is sarcasm, I would hope so anyways haha.

I think they would look great if they had smoothed out the sharp edges by the tank and left the lower air scoop off the front. I just love how the side plastics show more of the frame.

I don't know. The headlights look too far apart because they are so narrow. And they look like they would be worse than the sick lights.

Jess, I think they did copy Kawasaki.

I don't think it looks like robocop,,,,,,,,,maybe his dog????? really the only part I don't like is the hood/airfilter cover. but I would imagin if they had come out with it someone would have made a better one, probably with a scoop. also don't know why they think the quad guys need them knee knocker ridges on the side.

Personally for me the lights look ok. I'd prefer not to have lights at all on a quad since I don't ride at night and they look better without them anyways.
