So my question is can you install plastics from a newer Yamaha Yz450f or Yz250f (let's say from 2013 or 2014) on a 2008 Yz 450f?
I am aware that you can make the front numberplate and front fender work, but is it possible for other plastics?

It won't work. the 2010-current YZ450 uses a backwards cylinder design that has both the fuel tank and airbox located in the front. Plus it uses a delta-box frame instead of a single tube backbone. The 14-current YZ250F is the same. The 2010-13 YZ250F still has a traditional engine, fuel tank, and airbox layout, but uses the delta box frame and a different subframe. I'm sorry, but it isn't possible. The parts you named will not mount to your model.

I had the 2009 model and I just updated the front fender. It gave it a fresher look and I got more compliments than I was expecting on such a minor change.

I am about to update the front fender and the front numberplate. Which year fender did you use? Did you update the numberplate too? Did the fender holes for the srews align properly?

I only updated my front fender. Do not by the OEM because it will not fit. I believe I purchased acerbis restyled front fender that is designed to fit that year model.

Thanks for the heads up! Wink
