Plastics for Qlink xf200

09Fx200Q · 07-20-2014, 02:30 PM

Anyone know what plastics are comparable with the XF 200?
The acerbis universal front fender seems to be the exact fender that comes on the bike, and the headlight seems pretty universal, but I can't find any other plastics that look like they will fit. I know I can order through Qlinks site, but it's ridiculously expensive. All my plastics are cracked and broke from the previous owner.. So I was just going to replace them with black, if I can find them cheap enough. Thanks

Buy from China via agent ?

The cylinder kit "specialist" had some goodies:

Fraction plate: http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=39176366379

Order 2 "kit" still cheaper than "Genuine"

I appreciate the links! Exactly what I'm looking for, but I'm not sure how to order from them? Mostly because I can't read Chinese...lol tried to convert yen to US dollar but I'm pretty sure it was wrong.. Any help please

Oh Oh I know this one! Install Google Chrome and it will translate most of it pretty well. The Agent referenced is someone who gathers all of your stuff and then makes the order, then ships it to you.

The agent website is here at taobaotrends. Other way more experienced peeps here have made orders very successfully here. I am sure they will chime in with more info.

Good luck!
Jim

PS I need plastics too so I'm watching closely too.

You've been given good guidance about Taobao, and tankme's response was hilarious!

I have a lower rear fender with LED tail light I believe is for your bike, that I bought on Taobao. Interested?

09Fx200Q · 07-21-2014, 10:38 AM

Yeah I'm defiantly going to get my plastics through taobao.
No thank you on the tail light weld, I'm actually going to do the mod that Ostap34 did to his tail light, he sent me a link to where he got his on ebay. I couldn't stand the look of all that plastic and reflectors hanging down, so I took a pair of snips to it for now until I get the tail light..lol

X2.

I just received my third shipment from my TaobaoTrends agent this morning!

09Fx200Q · 07-23-2014, 10:28 AM

Looking at getting a complete plastics package, gas tank, rear breake shoes, front break lever, and new tires for $210 usd from taobao. I haven't paid for them yet. Is this too good to be true? Are the prices really this good on there or is there a catch when I go to check out through my agent?

SpudRider · 07-23-2014, 10:47 AM

The prices are not too good to be true. You are merely learning your first lessons regarding corporate greed in the West, and the slave wages of China.

However, you might be shocked at the shipping charges.

I always expect to add about 50 percent to the total cost after the shipping charges are added.

You pay a very high shipping cost for the first 500 grams (1.1 pounds). After that, the shipping cost for each, additional 500 grams drops dramatically. Therefore, I try to order everything I want for each shipment, so as to reduce additional orders, and the associated shipping costs.

Weldangrind · 07-23-2014, 11:15 AM

X2 on everything Spud says.

I've found some amazing deals on Taobao, and I've yet to be disappointed.

Weldangrind · 07-23-2014, 11:18 AM

To be clear, the shipping prices you see with specific items are only within China. Once the agent receives your parts, they will add a fee (10% IIRC) and then calculate the shipping cost to your door. Still worth it.

tankme · 07-23-2014, 03:20 PM

It's exciting to know the answer to a question.

I can't go to taobao without my wish list bulging, and I am still stumbling around with difficulty in part because I am still learning what to call this bike and what's generic and what's not. Either way taobao is so much eye candy I can't spend much time on it for fear of spending away the family farm.

Ask quotation of different shipping option.
SAL http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_Air_Lifted is per kg based. Good for something that's "high volume" but weights little (exhaust/ tank …) / delivery date is NOT ur major concern.
===
http://www.sfcservice.com/ had the REAL shipping rate
Fedex Economical seems the best rate of "heavy BUT low volume" to states, ask the agent for quotation .
===
Small packet is good for <2kg [total length of 3 sides <90cm, neither side >60cm] shipment (piston/ rings / clutch plates ... etc) | China Post is per 100g based / HK post is per 10g based

Thanks for everyone's help on this.

I probably would have never figured this out on my own.
