z side covers...talk to ufo today..again..30th nov..

[HEAD09]

well do you know if maier or ufo will make these again with enough orders....

[Bryan Raffa]

dont think they have the mold still... I know maire dont

[03 ORANGE SHEE]

dont think they have the mold still... I know maire dont

they do have it, (or they just say that to others) because some member here is/was thinking of buying it for $500 from jeff maier..:eek:

[Bryan Raffa]

Hummm you shure?Maire? didn't think they ever made them! Is there a picture of a confirmed set?

[Mrs.Mosh]

they do have it, (or they just say that to others) because some member here is/was thinking of buying it for $500 from jeff maier..:eek:I highly doubt they would tell me they do not have the molds,since I am a dealer for them and offered to purchase 15 sets of tri-z plastic if they had them.



Hummm you shure?Maire? didn't think they ever made them! Is there a picture of a confirmed set?
I agree,and we have contacted Maier.There are no molds, and he wants at least 1000 bucks to reproduce the molds,and 25 sets ordered at my cost.
That comes to a grand total of 2500 bucks at the very least for rad shrouds.

[HEAD09]

mrs. m have you dealt with ufo at all...i would think it worth a try...

[Mrs.Mosh]

It is something I would check into.But I wonder if they will be the dull type plastic like the old Maier.
However,I am not a dealer for UFO.
I will look into it if you and more would like to buy.
You know he will want a minumum order.
I will reply back as soon as I get a answer.

[HEAD09]

well i just went on there web site and looked for a number....the had a contact by email only.... so i sent them a email ill post something back as soon as i get something back from them...

[HEAD09]

well i just talked to ufo and there gone until moday....he said that he thinks they still have the molds :w00t: but he has to contact italy monday and get back to me....just wanted to know if it happens how many here would be intrested in a set he said it would be alot..... 50...he thinks.......steve

[chris200x]

Have you seen the shrouds Derrick Adams is running on his TriZ 450? If noone is willing to make the stockers this may be an alternative for you tri z guys.

Or.. you can see if DC plastics on ebay is willing to give it a shot. The only problem there is finding someone thats willing to give up their shrouds for a few months.

[Louis Mielke]

$2500? Thats it to end all this tri-z shroud business? shiznit, who's up for a business investment? I'll pony up half of that, I'm young dumb, and just paid down all but a lil' bit of any debt I had.

[Bryan Raffa]

Ill take multiple sets if there gonna make them for $50 see about color choices also

[Mrs.Mosh]

We were going to do the TRI-Z shrouds,headlights and airbox covers in Febuary.All colors,including Carbon Fiber.All From Maier.
Anyone want in on this?
I will try to finalize the pricing.

I have to order,25 sets of shrouds,broke into groups of 5 for different colors
same with the airbox covers and headlights.

[Mrs.Mosh]

I am working to get the 86 250R headlights reproduced too.In Carbon Fiber.Right Now.That is why I am waiting til Febuary for the z stuff.

If you want the z Shrouds now,lets get a list and prepay order for them.We need at least 25 shroud orders to start.I will send in all the plastics to copy from.

:beer :beer YES MAM! Yamaha Blue?:D

[Mrs.Mosh]

:beer :beer YES MAM! Yamaha Blue?:DYes we will need to order 5 blue sets to get them done.
Also keep in mind,If you want matched front and rear fenders,those will have to be ordered in sets of 10 in a seperate deal.I will see if they will make an exception with a huge order.

cool see what a whole set of blue would be for meeeeee:p

[chris200x]

This certainly is exciting news! The minimum order deal sucks.. but I think you'll have no problem finding tri z guys to climb aboard.

I wonder if we could get guys intrested in diffrent color 350x plastics,, headlight shells in particuliar.

Why do you HAVE to order the blue? or is this just something everyone is intrested in?

[Louis Mielke]

I'm all over the yamaha blue, we could use rear banshee fenders for the rear that would leave the front fender.

[Mrs.Mosh]

I'm all over the yamaha blue, we could use rear banshee fenders for the rear that would leave the front fender.
Good thinkin.I think Derrick said he had to modify his TRI-Z seat pan to fit those banshee new style fenders.So some would have to take that into consideration.
And it would not be that costly to run 250R blue fronts(again) or TRI-Z blue fronts also.
We can get the ball rolling anytime guys.IF you want me to handle it,I am all for it.

[Mrs.Mosh]

Why do you HAVE to order the blue? or is this just something everyone is intrested in?We do not have to order blue.I wanted them to do at least yellow black and red stuff,for the original look.Then we can come up with some custom colors too.Like Blue,Green,Carbon fiber.Etc.

Here is the deal with Maier.
Anything currently in production,ie:250r 350x front and rear fenders,etc,Has to be ordered in sets of 10 to get a new color.
They will not break up a set of 10 custom colors into 5 purple,5 green Etc.
They have to be ordered 10 at a time.

Any molds they do not have,They charge a set-up fee for the mold,require a good copy to use and a minium of 25 sets have to be run from a new mold.Or any order thereafter.
But in that first 25 order run on a new mold,You have to get 10 of 1 color,and then they will split into groups of 5 on custom colors.This is what I have been told by Them while inquiring about the Z plastic.
Always remeber that custom colors are subject to a higher rate of cost,like the carbon fiber for example will cost more than just plain black or yellow.

[honda250sx]

I would be up for a set of red and a set of black shrouds for the Z. Lets start a list and see!

[mywifeknowseverything]

I have dealt with Jeff of at MAIER Several Times and they Sponsor our Rampage....He is a Great guy to deal with....A few yrs back I asked about the molds....He told me that they still have the mold but wouldnt run them because of lack of interest.....He also told me he would sell me the molds for 900 and needed a minimum of 25 orders just like Mrs. M mentioned......If you would like......When I go pick up the Z front fender for the raffle Z they are Sponsoring I can ask more.....Kinda nice having them in my back yard:w00t:

[Mrs.Mosh]

Well,someone is lying to me then.I have spent over 3 grand with Maier this year alone,and he tells me he does not have the molds.I am gonna call Monday and raise hell.Another major trike supporter has also called and was told the same thing as me.

[mywifeknowseverything]

Dont Fly off the handle yet!!!!!! I might have Misunderstood him!!!!! But I do remember that it would be 900 to purchase his mold and then whatever else they told you was correct.....I dont remember him saying that I would have to furnish the plastic to make a mold though.....So that is why I think they have it.....Just doesnt make sense that they have all the other molds and not the headlight and Shrouds.....Maier is only a 30 min. drive from me.....Let me call him on Monday and ask.....

[Mrs.Mosh]

I asked A LOT of questions while inquiring about the Z plastic. Not just the shrouds. He told me I would have to send in good peices of what I wanted to have the mold/s made for.
It probably was a mis-understanding, but I will find out. We primarily talked about the shrouds, but the rest of the plastic was also non-existant except the front and rear molds.

I'm not flying off the handle, just don't want to have to dish out MORE than what I was already told.

[mywifeknowseverything]

Let me try to SHMOOSE him......:lol: Maybe we can work something out.....However,,,,,,I will need some HARD numbers to work with.....If he DOES infact have the mold (At least for the Shrouds) and we have the numbers for him to run....Maybe we can get away from BUYING the mold.....That would SAVE TONS of money.......

I dont want to step on any toes here......Just tryin to help....

Oh and if you do get a hold of him before I do.....dont mention my name in the RANT.....I still need that Front Fender.....LMAO!!!!:welcome: :lol: :w00t:

[Mrs.Mosh]

Well it is what it is I guess.
I wont mention you and I dont have any rant.
I just dont like being misinformed on any matter.

Edit,I did not speak to Jeff.I spoke with Mark.
Maybe they dont have their ducks in a row.

[HEAD09]

well i just got the phone with mark from ufo and he said they dont have the molds anymore in italy...sorry guys i tryied.........

[Mrs.Mosh]

Dont worry,The plastic airbox and headlights and scoops are on the way to Maier.
They never had any molds,so they have to make them.

I sent them in mint Oem peices to copy.
Once they get them and look them over,they will give me a final price.
He was worried about the headlight mold,He has to see if he can get the headlight lense retainers molded in properly.
We will see what he says.
The molds should be completed by January.
I am looking to have the peices out by March.

[honda250sx]

Sweet that ROCKS! Cant wait. Do we have any idea what colors we might be interested in as a group? I would be interested in Red and black in both.

[Mrs.Mosh]

We are gonna have him run all the oem colors.
And I was thinking about Carbon Fiber,silver and blue.
Basically,we can take a vote for what you guys want and do them first,then always go back and run another batch later.

[torker]

All this is great :w00t: :w00t: :w00t:

I'll have a set of red scoops and a red airbox cover, please :naughty:

I hope the prices come out good for us (I guess for them too).

TORKER.

[ceaserthethird]

Count me in , thinking 2 set's of Shrouds

[Mrs.Mosh]

Excellent.
We really need a headcount here.Because,we have to get at least 25 sets of each item.So the more the interested, the better.
I will start a offical order list/post when the time nears.
So I guess chime in here if your definately down for some Z plastic.
You dont have to pay now,we just need a solid headcount.

[Louis Mielke]

I'm down for 2 sets of reflex blue whatever you have made. lol

[3Razors]

well i just got the phone with mark from ufo and he said they dont have the molds anymore in italy...sorry guys i tryied.........

Too bad...The UFO stuff is night and day better than maier. There plastic is all injection molded just like the OEM stuff. But Maier is better than nothing.

[HEAD09]

well im in for two sets of sides and 2 of the headlights.........blk blue whatever let me know what colors later...

[GoodKarma]

I'm not too sure I like the UFO shrouds for the Tri-Z. I'm interested in hearing Bryan's take on how he likes his set. I would prefer a smooth surface myself. They are nice and pliable, but the surface looks like they were done in a wooden mold, or something.:wondering

You can count me in for anything made for the Z!:beer

[HEAD09]

well its not goting to be that sky blue right:eek:

[Mrs.Mosh]

No, it will be just like Seadoo's blue 250r.

Come to think about it...a black and blue Tri-Z with a silver or blue frame would look slick. Especially with some blue annodized bling here and there:naughty:

[Tri-ZNate]

Put me down for 2 sets of shrouds and 1 headlight shell. Shrouds i want yellow and headlight shell i wan in black, if that color is done

I'm pretty sure UFO plastic from the 80's was vacum formed, but in the 90's they switched over to injection molding.

[GoodKarma]

You might be right. I only know what Bryan and I purchased off Ebay. Maybe he'll grace us with some killer photos of how these UFO versions look?:w00t: Bryan, show 'em what we got!:beer

[Bryan Raffa]

still waiting on mine,,Ill post pics ASAP;)

and ill be going with the older plastic,, so there no need to modify the pan.. these come in blue also. Witch will be my next set

[VenomRS4]

Im down for a set of yellow shrouds!

[clutchcargo]

Count me in on a set of yellow shrouds and a headlight shell. If the price is right, maybe black and blue also, if available.

[Mrs.Mosh]

So far we are up to 14 sets of shrouds,Mosh will take 2-3 sets,That makes 17 all together.
We need 8 more shroud orders to make it happen.
Raffa?You still in?

Right now looks like 5-6 headlights and airbox covers.

[RID3R]

Im up for the airbox cover, shrouds, and headlight shell. Black or blue is what I would want.

[steven 250sx]

i would take one of each i'll figure out colors later but yea this is sweet

[chris200x]

sure.... just when I get rid of my tri z.... :rolleyes: Owell... this may end up working out good for you Yami guys. :TrikesOwn

[Bryan Raffa]

yes yes yes

[tri-Z ripper]

im in for everything! blue, yellow whatever lets do it?

[torker]

Mrs.moshman:
Add me to the list.
I'm up for a set of red shrouds and a red airbox cover (then I'll need a seat cover to match from you). Of course pricing is important, but I'm up for it. Let's do this!!!
Thanks.
