It doesn't say if it is nos or not, but coming from a dealer and being a clearance item, I think it is.

ya it makes you wonder whats piled in there back room.... the guy on the phone said "isn't that for one of those three wheeler things? i cant believe anyone would even want it" then i told him i would have gave him 100 for it and im sure it would have prob gone for a couple if they let it run... there was just an uneasy silence and i hung up the phone....

funny thing is i debated calling about it for atleast 10 min before i did.....

oh well.....

I wonder that about all dealers that have been open for decades.... what is hiding in their parts inventory that they don't even know about?

This is what I just sent him through ebay messaging

"Hello, Sorry to see this auction ended. This part is considered one of the holy grails for the 1986 1987 Tecate. The left shroud is still available but the right is not. It has been discontinued since at least 2004. I paid 433.00 for mine for my restoration in 2005. I hope you got good money for it and didnt give it away. You wouldnt believe what some of these parts go for. Bill (collector)"

We would probably be suprised to know just how many long discontinued ATC parts are in dealers old stock stuffed away. For instance a dealer was selling a 1986-87 200X NOS rear fender on ebay a few months back, he found it in the rafters, listed wronge and it sold for 400 bucks, could have got alot more. NOS plastic for the Kawi/Honda ATC models are out there and all it takes is alot of searching and phone calls. The best bet is to find the older dealers who have been in business since the 70's-80's but any one of them could be a good prospect.

Somebody got a steal I bet on that. I got lucky and ordered 5 of them before the were discontinued long ago, the new price was only like $14 each!

Hi bigballs, No "haters" here. I have purchased more $$ in parts and machines than my house cost since 2004. I have purchased them in everyway you can imagine. You got a great deal. I have driven to a dealer when I have seen them list parts like this so no bad on your part. I do know the other end very well of wanting to see an auction run out so there is a fair chance or shot at it before a stealth buyer rides in. I have also sold many of my parts. I get the cheap offers to end auction or what "what would I sell it for". Unless a get a "real" offer based on what I have sold or seen things go for I always let the auction run.
