Aftermarket Honda ATC blue tail light lens, anyone remember them?

[onformula1]

Does anyone remember the Honda ATC blue tail light lens, the were just a flat plate of blue lexan, I seem to recall others colors as well (purple, green, amber???)

I never saw them in shops, but they did sell them at- The World Famous Glamis Beach Store. I loved/miss that look and I am thinking about reproducing them.

I have searched Google images to no avail which is why I am turning to you guys/gals.

They looked cool and different and I think they may have added a few horsepower. :lol:

Also, does anyone have a 350X working rear taillight they want to part with, I am missing one and no spares. (Also, need it to spec off of)

I need to check, I think the 200X/350X/250r housings are all the same, if not I can build brackets.

They may have had them for Tecate's and Tri-Z's too, my memory was cloudy on those lens.

Thank You

When I got the Danny's bike from Loren Duncan he wanted to move all of their 90-110 stuff. I ended up with a 81 ATC 110. It had one fo the "Blue" lens in the back. I said to myself that must have been a "Dune" thing. It was as you described just a smooth blue lens. I sold the bike and it was still on the bike. Something told me to remove it before I let it go....

That's a great story, thanks for sharing.

I remember it like it was yesterday, they were in a clear plastic bag with a head card stapled to the top, hanging on a pegboard hook in that shanty, dusty store.

The ole' lady that owned the store was constantly yelling at everyone and rude, but she loved me because I always bought Martinelli's apple juice, which seem to love. :lol: I would buy her one, open it and slide across the counter like the guys in the movie- Cocktail.... Seems kinda lame now.

Ahh, the memories, IMHO a much better time in history or maybe it wasn't, but I was too young to know?

Anyway, 1 or 2 Cibie lights on the front, my killer blue tail light and a blue light on my Pop-It whip, cruising the dunes at night looking for magnesium parties or racing up Comp. or Olds. Fun times, singing classic rock tunes in my helmet.

Trying to rack my brain, remember the name of the speed/repair shop on the other side of the freeway just north of the store in the old wooden barn?

Believe that "Clean Gene's" was the name that moved into the old original rock/stone store. Another business behind Glamis Store was "Dirty Bob's".

I've got a few of them. one blue lens for the sport trikes (83-87 200x, 83-86 250r, 85-86 350x) and a couple different colors for 90/110 (yellow, blue, green)

seem easy enough to make. just a piece of colored transparent plastic cut to shape

i think you may run into issues running them in the dunes (at least at night in CA) as i believe the law states that after dark every machine must have at least one functioning headlight and one functioning red tail light

Hey Jacob you can keep it.... I appreciate you offering to let me have it back.
Can you post a pic of what it looks like. I thought I had a pic but can not find it.

[83ATC185]

Sure, when i get home tonight ill ride by the shop and get one for ya.

[BOB MARLIN]

I had one on a 200x back in the day. Manbear is right , they are now "Illeagal" in California at night. Blue is for law enforcement here. I have talked to people who have been harassed-but not ticketed.

I can't wait to see what these look like!

Sorry guys i didnt get home till late last night i was helping a buddy out with a truck and forgot to swing by the shop on my way in. I'll get a better picture tonight as well as some dimensions for anyone interested in reproducing the 110 one, at least. In the meantime heres a teaser for you. userj 224743

Went out to the shop to take those pictures, only to find this(and the bulb blown out as well):( If i had known anything about that lens i would've pulled it off before i ever rode it. It is 4 1/4" long in the middle, with a slight taper, bottom is smaller than the top. It is 1 1/2" tall with holes centered vertically, 1/4" from the edge, made from 3/16 lexan or such. Should be easy enough to make. 224756224757

Anything come of this?

[Red Rider]

I remember those well. The bikes looked very cool cruising around the dunes with all the different colors.

[Mike33]

Are these it?
