Where to buy plastics?

Post by bikerbrewer »

As noted in the who's crashed thread, our beloved Buddy met the Earth with some force a week ago. It will need some work on the front end (not sure yet but will be taking a look this weekend). However, it also needs several of the plastic bits replaced. Is there anywhere to buy these cheap? I'm not willing to spend on a ton on aesthetic pieces at the moment but I also figure it's not a great idea to ride around with no panels at all, though I have already removed the front fender and don't know if I miss it.

well ebay is always an option

but usually they will be random pieces, so the color may not match

also, there is the classified section on this board

Thanks! Looks like they don't have 170i parts though, or will that be the same as the 150?

i had to replace all my plastics, and i used pieces from every size scooter pretty much

We also had a "incident" that resulted in baby blue panel chunks getting tossed on the ground. The front fender of the 50cc Buddy is different, but all the other panels from 50cc to 170i are the same. We ordered new panels from the dealership, and it was around $160 total for the lesson she (wife) learned.
