UFO Plast — Italian Styling, Restyle Innovation & Factory Bodywork

### Brand Heritage & Tuscan Craftsmanship Founded in 1977 by Vito Consoloni in Pontedera, Italy, UFO Plast was born in the heart of Tuscany's storied motorsport and design corridor. Over the past five decades, UFO Plast has grown into a world-renowned manufacturer of high-performance off-road plastics, protective gear, and styling components. UFO Plast has equipped world championship teams across MXGP, EnduroGP, and Supercross, serving as a trusted partner to factory racing programs worldwide.

UFO Plast's design philosophy combines Italian styling elegance with rigorous technical engineering. Operating from modern manufacturing plants in Italy, UFO Plast utilizes 3D CAD modeling, high-pressure polymer injection molding, and automated robotic trimming to produce replacement bodywork and innovative restyle kits that match or exceed original equipment manufacturer standards.

  • Complete Restyled Plastic Kits: Complete modern transformation kits for classic two-stroke machines (such as Yamaha YZ125/YZ250) that update vintage bodywork with modern factory lines.
  • Vented Front Fenders: Aerodynamic replacement front fenders featuring integrated cooling louvers that direct high-velocity airflow into radiator fins.
  • Full OEM-Color Replica Plastic Kits: Direct replacement fenders, shrouds, side number plates, and fork guards matching factory colors and contours.
  • Frame & Swingarm Guards: Heavy-duty molded protective covers that prevent boot wear and rock gouging on frame spars and swingarms.
  • Handguards & Disc Covers: High-impact polymer roost deflectors and front brake rotor shields engineered for extreme off-road conditions.
  • Radiator Louvers & Mud Flaps: Direct-fit high-airflow louvers and flexible rear shock splash guards.

### How UFO Plast Bodywork Elevates Stock Motorcycles 1. Ergonomic Restyling: Older two-stroke machines feature wide, bulbous radiator shrouds that trap the rider's knees and hinder forward weight transfer. UFO Restyled kits slim down the shroud profile, allowing riders to slide forward seamlessly when carving inside ruts. 2. Vented Radiator Cooling: Stock front fenders block cooling air from reaching the radiators at speed. UFO Vented front fenders feature aerodynamic rear louvers that direct cooling air into the core while deflecting mud and roost downward. 3. High-Impact Polymer Resilience: UFO Plast uses premium polypropylene resins that resist impact fractures and stress whitening, allowing panels to flex under hard crashes without shattering. 4. Precision Pre-Drilled Mounting: Every UFO Plast body panel is manufactured with precision robotic tooling to ensure all mounting holes match factory chassis locations with zero trimming required.

### Italian Injection Molding Technology UFO Plast utilizes high-pressure hydraulic injection molding presses with high-precision steel tooling. Their polymer formulations incorporate elastomeric plasticizers and UV inhibitors that ensure brilliant color saturation, high surface gloss, and exceptional elasticity across extreme temperature fluctuations from winter enduros to summer motocross.

  • Bolt-On Installation: UFO Restyled kits bolt directly onto factory subframes and airboxes using standard mounting locations without requiring subframe modifications.
  • Plastic Maintenance: Clean with mild automotive wash soap and treat with silicone detailer spray to maintain gloss and prevent clay from sticking.
  • Fastener Torques: Tighten bodywork bolts evenly to 6-8 Nm, ensuring collar washers and rubber grommets are properly seated.
  • Pre-Decal Degreasing: Always clean new plastic surfaces with contact cleaner or isopropyl alcohol before applying graphics to eliminate residual mold-release oils.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do I need to modify my motorcycle to install a UFO Restyled plastic kit?

A: No. UFO Restyled kits are engineered to bolt directly onto the original factory subframe, airbox, and fuel tank using stock mounting points.

Q: Are graphics pre-applied to UFO plastic kits?

A: No. UFO plastic kits are supplied clean and glossy, ready for custom race graphics or factory sponsor decal kits.

Q: How does the vented front fender help lower engine temperatures?

A: The aerodynamic louvers on the rear half of the fender direct oncoming airflow straight into the radiator cooling fins, lowering operating temperatures during high-load motos.

Q: Can I buy individual replacement pieces from a UFO plastic kit?

A: Yes. UFO Plast manufactures individual front fenders, rear fenders, radiator shrouds, fork guards, and number plates so you can replace only damaged panels.

Q: What graphics template should be used with a UFO Restyled kit?

A: Always request graphics templates designed specifically for the UFO Restyled kit shape, as standard OEM graphic patterns will not fit the restyled shroud contours.
