Attn: 86 ATC250R owners....NEW headlight shells now available.

[Mrs.Mosh]

I got a call today that Maier has taken the advise of all the people who have requested they make an 86 headlight shell over the years, and now have one available.

I have not seen one yet, but I would like to order one to check out.

In the meantime, they are suppose to take some pictures of the new product and email them to me so I can post pics to all of you.

Price of the new shell will be the same as the 85 headlight shells.

F'n sweet. Hopefully its available in Fighting Red. Thanks Tammy that is good news.

[MyMistress86R]

I'd be thrilled too if I didn't have one of the last OEM '86 shells ever produced complete with lens, bulb and mounting gear chilling in a bag, never have been mounted to a bike...

Guess where I got that?!? :w00t:

That's awesome though...about time they show some love. Hope they look great!

[bkm]

I've got a complete NOS setup also, but would rather not trash a $500 headlight. It can go in the basment with the rest of the NOS plastic for my bike. I was going to run just a number plate, but now I can run both.

With ya right there bkm...except last I checked, a full rig was worth $600...

[JasonB]

Hell yes! In for pics!

[Brockey]

Yes by!!! I need one aswell. Well actually I think I need everything... hmm. Gonna have to check my parts pile

[tmhcycle]

Is that the same shell for the 86-87 200x

[bkm]

Is that the same shell for the 86-87 200xThe glass and guts are the same, but the bezel is different.

[JasonB]

ya im running an 86-87 200x glass light and bulb in mine after I smashed the back of a dune buggy in Baldwin last last year. Cant wait to see the quality of these, I need to replace the expoxied shell I have now

[Mrs.Mosh]

F'n sweet. Hopefully its available in Fighting Red. Thanks Tammy that is good news.

I talked to them today. They hope to have some made in a week or so. Once they have them made, they will send me pics to post.

And yes, they will be offering it the traditional white black and red...but they are adding Fighting Red to the list. They are adding Fighting Red to ALL the 85-86 ATC 250R body parts they offer!! I think a lot of people will happy to hear that.

[captainweezy]

Wow way to go maier. They have really stepped up and done some cool things for us trikers.

[Howdy]

There is Great, Good and bad news in this.
Great: Maier is making a discontinued Part.

Good: NOS OEM ones will retain their value because I am sure Maier's won't look 100% like OEM. And some people only want NOS.

Bad news: Those of use who reproduce parts just lost a possible new product. LOL

[Rigaman]

I need an 86 headlight. My 86 had an 85 headlight in it. Will the 85 light fit in the 86 bezel? Or will I have to buy everything else to go with the bezel?

[bkm]

You need an 86 250r, 86-87 200x, or 86-87 250sx, lense and guts to work with the 86 250r shell.

[oldskool83]

Id like to see fighting red pics over red. If it looks good I prob will sell my nice red shell and buy some fighting red R plastic.

My crystal ball is seeing ALOT of 87 Clones in our future... HH

[Jason125m]

This is GREAT news! Thanks so much to everyone involved in making this happen. Maier sure has been stepping it up!

[atc007]

Business is simple. When the MONEY is there,,industry attracts. Have we noticed how almost EVERY motorcycle/atv/quad part on Ebay has a tag,,ATC in it lately? Not TRX,or vintage MX,,,, ATC,,, :) Used to be I would search ebay by Honda ATC,,,,2000 hits,,maybe this was longer ago then I realize lol. But now,,it's 59000 hits. Our generation is finally catching up slowly enough to buy what they wanted/loved in their youth. And of course the all together newcomers also. Great to watch :)

[Rigaman]

I noticed that too. Everything is tagged atc. Prices for mint machines has never been higher. Parts are more available now than ever. Parts have been somewhat cheaper too. Not NOS parts, or mint plastics, and stuff like that.. But There have been so many people parting out tri-z's, the prices for z parts has gone down alot. I remember a year ago I couldnt find a tri-z caliper. ONly ones were on ebay, beat to crud, for $100.

[honda200x1987]

Great news! I would still like to see the 86-87 200X shell reproduced someday.

[yamaha225dr]

Looks like I got back into the trike world right in time! Now I need to pick up a 350x and another R before people really go crazy!

[honda200x1987]

When will these be available?

[Super350]

I picked up a complete kit from ZMPerformance in the "fighting red." They said maier made it for them special. Not exact color as the oem stuff ( its close) but WAYYYYY better than the regular maier red! Great news all around :beer

That is who I bought my white plastics and tank from. Really good people and they are only a few hours up the road from me.

[honda200x1987]

Be nice if the rubber mounting straps were made available too... or an entire light for that fact.. but this is a good start! :)
