Honda 250R plastics on an LT?

[Everhunter]

I am in the process of rebuilding a 91 LT250 that a friend of mine gave me. The plastics are trashed, unrepariable and can no longer be used. I am running out of budget to purchase new Suzuki plastics. I have a set of red Honda 250R plastics that I could use, and I think would turn out sharp. I was thinking of doing the red plastics on a red powdercoated frame.

I want to get some opinions on it before I get to sanding, fiberglassing etc. Am I crossing some sacred line that forbids one from crosspollenating fenders? I do not want to post pics a month from now and get fucked with over it..

Let me know what you guys think and if anyone has any suggestions that would help to..

Thanks in advance!

If im not mistaking they should bolt right up with some custom bracketry in the front. I could swear ive seen one like your talking about on here. As far as being a bad thing as long as you like it no one else should try to change that.

Thanks for the replies fellas.. I believe the one you are thinking of is:





That's where I got the idea from, instead of ordering new plastics. I think it looks pretty sharp. It looks like he has a 250R seat on there as well, which runs up a little higher on the tank. I might try and use the LT seat because it is a little wider in the back, but that leaves the tank more exposed. I may fiberglass a tank cover and see how it looks with the LT seat.

Man Those Plastic's Look Good On There. The Only Thing That Would Bother Me Is The Opening Were The Stem Clamp Is, I Personally Would Try To Cover It Up.

i personally think the fender look a rather tall on it..... but stock LT250R plastic isn't exactly the prettiest thing anyway...

Hadn't thought about the TRX tank, I might have to look in to that.. It might make things a little easier fitment wise.. I'll get out in to the the garage tonight and brainstorm hehe..

i think that looks 100x better than lt plastics.
