Orders for 1986-87 atc200x headlight shells. UPDATE HEADCOUNT needed.

[honda200x1987]

I have decided to go with MAIER plastics to have the 1986-87 ATC200X headlight shell reproduced. They seem to have proven to be a good quality and they will not be painted. FIRST off the colors will be FIGHTING RED not the dark red that MAIER normally uses so they will be much brighter in color so they will be very nice and they will also come WHITE. Now.. this is going to cost me a few hundred dollars plus just for the mold and i have to give them the oem honda shell to go by and they will be sold exclusively to me. This has never been done for this model and I think it is very sought after. HOW MANY OF YOU ARE WILLING TO BUY?? I NEED A HEAD COUNT HERE ON 3WW. The price will be $75.00 shipping is free anywhere. All I need right now is a head count on this, all I want to do is break even . LET ME KNOW GUYS!!!! Below is a sample of the "fighting red" color that the shells will come in ,, much better than the darker red that other Maier atc plastics have now and I think this color is much closer to OEM. These shells should look very much like the originals maybe better, I specifically ask Maier if they would make them as close as they can.

Let me know if you are interested guy's, just post a yes. I'm just curious of how many of you are interested in these Bezels. I am having them made regardless, I am sure to sell atleast 20 here and eBay and that should pay for the mold not to mention I have to order 50 units. When they are complete I will post them in the Classifides section. I think this will be a great acomplishment. One other thing , it is possible that I might start out at a lower price if I get enough interest...

These will also fit the 1986 ATC250R , the headlight units have the same part number as the 86-87 200X and they will strap right on.

That is one tough piece to vac form, can Maier do it for sure?

Brad can express how much a mold costs, and then how difficult it is to recoup your investment.

I have to wait till next week to speak with jeff lewis at maier about this. I do know they have made the 1985 ATC250R headlight bezels so I think they can.

PM me when your ready to go...color?? either is fine.

Mark me down for a white one as long as the quality is as good as the 205r shell they sell.

thanks for doing this

They will be as good or better than the 1985 ATC250R shell that maier has produced thus it will also be in fighting red! White, carbon fiber etc.

Ok guy's, here is the latest, I bought a good 86 200X headlight Bezel that is in good shape from Pete . I should get it within a week and then I will clean and polish it and immediately ship it out for reproduction. Now here is the kicker, instead of having Maier to produce it, I am going with Fullbore Inovations to reproduce this shell because they will do it for free and we can buy directly from them. Initially Maier wanted me to pay for the Mold and buy atleast 50 shells which total costs would be in the thousands for me. This way It costs me nothing and I think they can make a very nice repro. I am sure that some of you are familiar with them but here is a link to their site to show what they can do. http://www.fullboreinnovations.com/page4/

Does FULLBORE have any intentions of possibly doing fenders for trikes? Were they hesitant to agree to do the shells? They used to have a ATC250R rear fender listed but it's not mentioned on their site anymore.

Sounds good. Fullbore makes some nice plastics for the TRX's. Hopefully these headlight shells will be as good. I would be down for one if they came out decent. Any idea on colors? Are they going to do red for now? White would be cool too.

[honda200x1987]

If fullbore made ATC250R rear fenders before, they must be made to order. If you read the description on their fenders some are made to order like the TRX250R. They will come in all colors but to order i am sure, I should have some more info in 2-3 weeks after they get my donor shell. The 200x shell will be an easy one to mold with the exception on the headlight brackets. I am sure they will find a solution other than using ribbets. I f you look at Maier's new 1985 ATC350X shell it has ribbets on the side of the case for the headlight brackets. There is a way to work around that. " The bezels will ALSO strap right on to the 1986 ATC250R because the headlight assembly/lense is exactly the same with the same Honda part numbers. The original shells/bezels are very similar on the two models"

if they are that good ans all plastic ill take a white

[dksix]

If everything goes a planned with the rest of the rebuild, I'd take one in red or white but would prefer black if that was one of the color options. 2 to 3 weeks would be about the time I would get to order the plastic. I'm going to get it running and back together to make sure everything else is good before I spend allot on cosmetics.

I just want to keep everyone updated . I will receive the 1986-87 ATC200X DONOR headlight case/bezel that I ordered from Pete any day now. I just got a another responce from FULLBORE asking if I had shipped out the shell to them yet. They are eager to reproduce it and I do not have to pay for tooling which is GREAT!. Once they get the shell, I will get a price per shell and lead time of when it will be available for purchase. I do know they will come in red,white but will be made to order for special colors.
