Best Quality Aftermarket Fenders for a 1980 390WR?

[390wr Jon]

Any thoughts or past experience on the best aftermarket white plastic fenders for a 1980 390 WR?

Husqvarna-parts.com?
RTR-MOTO?
DC Plastics?

Thanks.

It depends on the plastic quality you really want. If you want OEM quality then Phillip at Husqvarna-parts.com is the only source of that level of plastic. DC Plastics does vacuum bagging rather than injection mold and you also get a lower level of plastic as well. I use DC Plastics for offroad use as I consider it for rider restoration only. I am not familiar with RTR-Moto, but if they do not have their own plastics, they likely carry DC.

Since I am looking for OEM quality, Philip at Husqvarna-parts it is. Thanks.

Vinskord, I'll revisit the RTR Moto products before making a final decision. Thanks.

An interesting option you found. I prefer Philip at Husqvarna parts. It makes a one stop shipping cost
for his plastic. It's great looking stuff. First class looks. And note the rear fender style looks like the original.

Of all things saved. The one bike I have here has original 83 to 86 rear fender stamped underside a
Husqvarna symbol. A true stock fender to compare. It looks new, not yellow.

Still have my original fenders, but there are no Husky logos underneath. Perhaps there were no logos for fenders in the 1980 model year.

The 1980 fenders did not have the Husky Logo on them. I don't think Husky started that until about 1983.

Yes it was that year. Just talking about true husky style. Some have a lip around edge.

John at Vintage Husky has nice plastic, see the link below. I have used the plastic he sell and it is good.

We had many (maybe it was most?) 81/82's come through with a glossy front fender and a matte finish rear fender. Always thought that was weird, but perhaps they had different suppliers from time to time. Anybody else have that?

Edit: Oops. I see you're asking about WR. I'm talking about CR/XC matte rears.

Yes the 81/82 WR's originally had a matte finish on the rear fender and glossy on the front.

Does anybody make good matte finish rears?

I bought the RTR fender kit for my 78WR. The repro Falk enduro rear was absolutely brilliant. Better than the original, great gloss finish and it fitted perfectly. It came with a standard copy front which I have not used (yet) as I already had a DC one on there. The front RTR is much better quality than the DC.
