Ok so lately i've been doin alot of jumpin and i looked at my plastics and i have stress marks on top of where the brackets are! and these marks were not there before the ride and i didn't have any real hard landings. does anybody kno how to get these marks out of there or do i need to get new fullbore's like i was plannin on doin this summer anyways. Any help would be appreciated.

You might be able to hide the stress marks buy heating the area with a heat gun. It worked for me on the wifes 250ex.

If you don't hold the heat gun in one area for a long time you'll be fine.You would have to hold the heat gun in one area for more than a minute before the plastic would start to melt.
