My experience over the years with Maier has been great. It goes without saying their aftermarket plastics are not exactly like OEM, but they're not intended to be, and they are just as strong as factory plastics. I see no reason why these won't be great.

ZMPERFORMANCE on ebay has them listed with pic. I assume they have the actual pic of bezel.

That was difficult. I saw they sell black and white but I don't know if they sell any other colors.

Found it! But $100 Australian to get shipped! Shipping always kills me!

Must be sold out of red. They had 3 or 4 this morning listed

[oldskool83]

last 10 years they came along way from the mid 90's stuff. Most things now days have pre-drilled holes. All comes down to how good your mold and doaner piece is. Most guys might just run with with no headlights for the look or place LED pods in.

I recreated a BookFace account just to get in on the group order on Honda Hoarders that has custom colors too.
Getting a black and an electric blue......we will see.

[Blown 331]

I have white on the way.

Is this a limited time thing or they always gonna make them?

[devilman]

Maier has the 3 colors listed on their site as in stock.

I have a black one coming for my blackout build that I will probably get around to sometime in the next 25 years.

All of my hobby forums keep costing me money :cool: :naughty: ;) :beer

I bought one cuz I ain't takin' any chances!

Listen guys, if you have contact with Maier on the headlight shells...Thank them for running them and PUSH them to continue to create needed items, 1986 200X shells could be next??? Voice your opinion upon orders as many of us have more than one machine. If the 250R and 350x shells are selling off the shelves, they only want a direction from the consumers to what's the next seller. I'm off topic, but a push from buyers could prompt a New item.

We do have a member making 200X shells already, but I cannot speak for him about how he'd feel if Maier started making them as well.

I will say this, I have a Shep shell sitting on my shelf right now, and it's definitely stronger than anything Maier is going to put out. The quality is very high. I could probably put it face up on the ground and stand on it.

I'm looking forward to seeing someone repop SX shells, regardless of who does it.

[Shep1970]

Thanks Fabio, but yes there would be no problem here if maier made the 86/87 200x or someday the 250sx shell.
I could never compete with them, there system probably pumps out im guessing a couple hundred a day?(guessing)
I just really want to see the back side of the new 350x shells, mounting area for straps just to see how they did it.
More of a hobby, but hopefully sell some in the very near future....
Ok its a really nice day here in mass I gotta get my azz outside and do some “prepping” for trikefest!!! Its coming fast

Not taking away from Shep, I'm just suggesting the idea to inform them of desired items. I was under the impression Shep is in the final stage of profecting the 200x shells. If I missed the sale post for the shells post up a link.

No sale post yet you’ll know when there is, you’ve all been on this ride with me on making them (if that makes sense).

Got mine today! Looks pretty good. Came with some hardware. I believe they provided bolts and clip nuts to replace the plastic pins that hold straps to bezel. Not going to open package just yet. No need to at the moment.

They're strong as HELL, Shep's just working on his colors...


Well, with used 350X headlights bringing in about 500$, I should probably sell my NOS HL and ALL my spare headlights ASAP!!

I saw someone pay 27$ BIN for ONE HEADLIGHT STRAP!! I guess I read someones mind as I just made up a dozen headlight guards this week!!

Yes of course, I think it's definitely a good idea. I should have said that in my last post.

[jeswinehart]

If you google
Acerbis headlight straps you will see what a pears to be 350x, 250r headlight straps. Your welcome :)
Not sure if the Mrs. Has anymore made up or not,,,, we got parts all over the place. Parts we've made that we yet to even market yet.

[dirtwheels]

Got mine today also. I bought it just to see what the quality was like. Opened it to get a better look at the back side and I also I wanted to peel the Maier decal off the top so it does not leave a mark later on. They glued a piece of ABS plastic in there for the top mounting points. It's on there pretty good and it also makes it more stiff which is nice. Overall quality is very nice.

[fabiodriven]

Glue always makes me nervous.

Overall quality is very nice.I expected the headlight mount to be riveted on, just like the Maier 250R headlight shells. Thanks for the detailed pics.

Fabio you should move to a well ventilated area. The glue might be getting to ya....lol!!!

[schlepp29]

Yeah I definitely need to order a couple just in case. I will definitely tell them how much the 3 wheeler guys are appreciative of this. Either way this is cool

Has anyone got a red shroud yet? How close would it be to the red maier plastics?

I contacted Jesse like 3 days ago about not getting a invoice. He said he would take care of it, but I haven't got a invoice yet.

Agreed, it can make for a sticky situation.........

Rivets are strong but somewhat unsightly. Not sure how I feel about glue/epoxy. I ordered three custom colors to match the blem fenders I’ve accumulated over the years. I was curious about the strap design and headlight mounting as well but no details were available prior to invoice and probably not a deal breaker.

Any feedback on how they look and the quality of the headlight shells so far from people who have purchased? Thanks

At first handling of one of these my thoughts was like too thin, too flexable.
But now feel that is a plus because it ain't so stiff and unfogiving as too crack or break easly.
This coming from a guy who has made them in the past (me),,, beautiful peice.
This isn't mine,,, it was shipped to me to forward on to owner next time we meet up.
