    Cool 185s front windshield fairing and Speedo

    Hello to all and happy new year! I have my original ATC 185s. I bought it when I was 11 with my hard earned summer cash. I’m now 52 and am looking to complete some odd items that were options from Honaline. I am looking for the front windshield hand guard fairing and a speedo. I have the frame for the fairing and all but the speedo. I have been looking on eBay for a long time and either way too expensive or completely trash. Wondering if there is a better place or maybe one of you might have a spare laying around. Thanks in advance to any direction or help you may be able to give.

    ATCs were sold all over the world. You should expand your search to other countries.

    It's not likely going to save you any money, but it will open up more options.

    Have you looked at the Australian, European, South American, Asian, Canadian, and other Ebay websites?

    Find a list of Ebay international sites and go straight to them. If you use a VPN and have a translator add-on, even better, then you can look for local parts in each country from various sources.

    I like looking at the Japanese websites. There's all kinds of cool parts you can get that aren't available in North America. You may be surprised at what's available from Eastern Europe too. There's lots of industry there that gets overlooked.


    Sometimes shipping is slow and sometimes it's gets here quicker than if I ordered it from three states away, especially if it's transferred to the USPS. You may get a notice about possible import fees from the shipper, but I guess that's not an issue unless it's something licensed, like a vehicle or over a certain price. I've never incurred any extra shipping costs. Now, shipping out of the US, yes, those people often get slammed with extra VAT and whatnot.

    I'm thinking Shipping from Australia to the US is probably some of the highest priced. Sometimes the prices are through the roo...f, even for a box (of) jelly.
