Bought a '85 250ES yesterday and it needs some parts and have not been able to find peoples opinion. I need new rear fenders, have people bought the Maier brand I see on ebay and liked the color? Is it a pretty good match to the honda passion red?
Exhaust - I need a stock exhause, this trike came with a custom header / pipe and I'd like it to be original, anyone know where I can find one? I just purchased the stock header online but need the 2nd part of the exhaust setup.

I'm just getting into this machine so I'm sure there will be more bits I need, thought I would look here before buying more stuff online elsewhere.

Cheers

Maierplastics is very nice, I recommend it. Unless you're going for an all original restoration.

Are they pretty close to oem looking or are they quite a bit different?

How much are you asking for it, what shape is it in? Is it the header and the muffler?

Whoops, yeah color is slightly different and the side pieces are built in instead of the separate side pieces

Shoot, I already bought a header pipe online and it shipped out today, any chance you want to sell just the back end of the exhaust? Maybe I'll just buy the whole package from you and try reselling the header. Can you PM me a pic?

Another question for you guys, the guy I bought this from said you didnt need to do the parking brake to get into reverse, something about a spring on the lower right hand side inside the engine case?

The Maier plastics go pink after some time in the sun, but it is a perfect fit.
