As for plastics...sadly, probably ain't gonna happen without some creativity, and a little money to burn. A good friend of mine is the distributor for UFO plastics here in the USA, and we have already gone through this, sadly. Alot of theses companies buy up, old, non profit turning molds from bikes gone by. Then, hack them up, reform them into desired shapes and what not, therefore, eliminating any chance of an actual aftermarket copy. However, some of these "molds", we will refer to them as that, have products "cloned" from them by other China bike outfits. Essentially, China companies are now cloning themselves. Cheaper, Yes!!! Lame, and sad, that's obvious. Chase the dollar......
