Getting motorbike and scooter parts remade

Fairing clips, side-panel tabs, covers, caps and small brackets for bikes whose dealer parts have gone. Anything that keeps the bike on the road stays original.

Motorbikes and scooters lose small plastic parts to vibration, weather and minor drops: the tab on a side panel snaps, a fairing clip disappears, the cover over a fuse box cracks. On older and imported bikes, dealers often cannot supply them.

These are good jobs for a maker with a printer for ASA or nylon. Vibration and sunlight are the enemies, so material choice and fixings matter as much as the shape.

Parts makers commonly remake

Fairing and side-panel clips, grommets and tabs
Fuse-box, battery and toolkit covers
Number-plate light covers and plate holder parts (check local rules)
Switch caps and blanking plugs
Small brackets for accessories (phone mounts, cable guides)
Chain-guard and splash-guard clips
Seat-lock covers and storage-box catches on scooters

Materials and processes

ASA

UV- and heat-resistant for panels and covers in the sun (Prusa: up to 93 °C).

Nylon

Tough and abrasion-resistant for clips and catches that flex with vibration.

TPU

Flexible grommets and rubber-like spacers that are not seals for fuel or oil.

Machined aluminium

Accessory brackets that need to be stiff.

Don't have these remade

Brakes, levers, footrests, steering and suspension parts
Wheels, axles and chain sprockets
Fuel tank, fuel lines and caps
Exhaust-side parts and heat shields
Lights, reflectors and mirrors that must meet road-legal standards
E-scooter battery cases, mounts and chargers

Buy certified originals for these and have them fitted by a qualified person. The safety page explains why.

Try these first

Ask a dealer or the importer for the part number using the frame number.
Search breakers and used-parts listings for your model.
Check model forums for existing files and fitment notes.

If nobody sells the part at a sensible price, a maker is the next step.

Good to know

Say which parts of the bike get hot. A cover near the engine sees far more heat than one under the seat.

If a clip broke because it was over-tightened, tell the maker; they may thicken it or add a metal insert.

What to put in your post

Make, model, year and frame number.
Photos of the part and of the mounting points, with a ruler in shot.
Colour and finish, and whether it is visible from outside the bike.
Photos from every side with a ruler in shot, and the measurements that matter. The measuring guide shows how.

Step by step: find the model number, measure the part and photograph it for a quote.
