Atc 125m trunk lid remake

[Mike33]

Hi, does anyone have a 125m trunk lid that they could send pictures and measurements of? With these, I would be able to recreate the lid and 3d print it. From here, I could send out test models and then possibly put a reasonably cheap lid on the market.

[gimmeamidget]

Will these be for the impossible to find 86-87 125m?

[Mike33]

84-85, but I could make the 86-87 also if given pictures/measurements

[gimmeamidget]

I am interested in the 86-87 trunk lid if you are able to make one.

[Jim mac]

that's the same as the 84 110 correct? jim

[Mike33]

To my knowledge, 84-85 are different from 86-87. And yes, the 110 and 125s lids are the same

[ATC King]

If this materializes, send one my way and I'll check it out and post pics. If it works out, I'll pay you something for it regardless. Your materials and time at least need compensated.

[captainweezy]

no doubt about the interest on these. while I dont need one myself, there are plenty of folks that need them.

[ATC King]

How do these fall off anyway?

It's clear how many models loose the seats while being hauled down the highway, and how a 250ES looses the right side cover, or both.

200S and 200E/ES trunk lids being broken is somewhat common, but they stay attached.



How about if some of these get made, they get modernized. You know, with some speaker mounts. :lol:

[Mike33]

Good news! I have recently found a person in my area that has a lid on his 125 and he has let me borrow it. Since then, I have designed it and am currently printing it. I will then fit it to the machine and tweak it, but soon these will be for sale.

Here it is! Designed and printed the lid and works perfectly. All I need to do is tweak my print settings to make the top smoother and it will be ready to sell

[Jim mac]

I've looked for awhile when I had my 84 110, now that I sold it 2 weeks ago, these become available. glad that you were able to make them. jim

[ATC King]

Nice. Post a link up when they're ready to buy.

[patriot1]

I'll take one for sure!

[Mike33]

I am trying to determine the prices right now. Does $75 + free shipping, sound fair. Compared to prices i have seen, this price seems good.

[ATC King]

Seems about right.

Maybe post some more detailed pics, and possibly next to a OEM one.

Here is my second prototype. I am almost to the finished product. I just have to increase the line width to get rid of the line marks on the top and then sand for a smooth finish. I dont think people would buy this if they could see lines. Dont have pictures of the oem one, I gave it back to the owner two days ago.

[MrConcdid]

Hey mike33,
I gave you a plug for your 3d printed headlight in my latest video.
I sent them here and ebay. Good luck
Now when are you going print up me a 185s rear. fender?
J/k

[sledcrazyinCT]

Are you also offering the rubber latch and the two hinges as well?

I bought two of these when they were offered many years ago. Not sure if there would ever be a run of these repops again.

[ATC King]

Ha! I thought the lines were intentional, like on a 200ES trunk lid that has a similar pattern.

I haven't looked at a 125 trunk lid in a while and didn't realize they're smooth.

[big specht]

You try a heat gun on it yet ? To see it that smooths it out ?

[Mike33]

I dont have a heat gun but have used a hair drier and it tends to warp the plastic before smoothing.

[big specht]

Ok I’ve tried on on some parts but from what I found it depends on layer thickness if you see the infill lines or not. But yea it might warp that big of a area. The harbor freight heat guns work good for the price.

[Baba Yaga]

What material is it made from? Original is a bit rubbery. Are you sure the printed part will hold up, withstand UV, etc.?

[Mike33]

It is printed with pla, is clear coated in plastic coating that this uv resistant, and is very sturdy.

[Mike33]

AtcKing and Patriot1, I sent you guys a dm about the lid.

[patriot1]

Got your message. Thanks Mike!

[badasskfx]

Great job man looks great,

[ATC King]

The mail lady delivered it today and I've already installed it. I've got a new rubber strap ordered, but it hasn't arrived yet.

It fit great and now there isn't a gaping hole on the rear of the 110. That was all it needed to have a finished look.


Here's a pic of the 110 it went on:

Overall, a pretty clean and complete 110, if not wholly OEM. That missing trunk lid was really bugging me, and it's not even my trike.

That was a pic from earlier, and it's been sitting a while, so the rest of these show it dusty.

The biggest thing I want to point out is the crappy way the metal seat pan is designed. The very rear of it is just thin, flat, sheet metal, so it bends easily, and this one was bent. When I first put the lid on, it was obvious. I removed the seat from the fender to straighten it, but that wasn't really necessary, because the metal is so thin. Just an FYI for anyone with one of the 110/125 trikes. That's probably why so many of the lids end up broken and missing. The seat back gets bent, and someone tries to force the lid open.

Yes, there is the provision for the rubber strap. I have one on the way, but it wasn't here in time for the install.


A shout out to Mike33 for printing these up. He got it shipped pronto and it installed and fit like it should. Mike33, maybe you could do custom ones with patterns or even logos/words on them? That would be trick.

[patriot1]

I also got mine today. Very impressed! I feel that I got a great deal on a great product. I even got a 3WW special gift as a bonus!!! I again agree with King on the custom/trick lids! Thanks Mike!! It's going on my blue one (Jake of Jake and Elrod)

[Mike33]

I sent you a DM about the lid Latty

Hi Mike. Do you have these to sell? I’ve been looking for one for my 1984 Honda ATC 125M.
