[QUOTE="audiowize, post: 1284164, member: 86750"] Plastic pieces aren't necessarily the best guide for the age of a bike. If you went to an injection molder to have something like a fender made, the cost per part gets lower and lower as you buy more, so a three year run of bikes +10% may be ordered up front to keep costs low. I was working on either an 08 or an 09 and found one plastic part that had been modified by hand to fit a little differently than it had been cast, which would tend to support the notion of big batches being produced.
