Hello forum members!!
I'm new on this forum and I'm hoping someone can help me find what I'm looking for. I recently picked up two 1984 3 Wheelers I found on a local classifieds website here in Utah. I paid $200 bones each and they both run very well. I plan to restore both machines. I'm very particular and I want them to be identical. One of them came with this really nice looking headlight guard, the other one does not have one. It obviously could have used one because the current headlight is broken and the brackets are bent (I'm sure it's been rolled over more than once). I have bought a new headlight and some new brackets but I cannot find a headlight guard like the one shown in this picture. I have searched EVERYWHERE online!!! I was able to find 1 just like it on Ebay but it looks beyond repair, it has severe rust and pitting problems. I want one just like the one in this picture with 3 posts for attachment and in good condition. (does not have to be perfect) Let me know if any of you have one or know where I can find one for a decent price. thanks!

Thanks a lot for the suggestions! I have sent dirtcrasher an email to see what it might cost. If it's reasonable I may go that route. I was hoping to find someone that had one of these sitting on their broken down machine out back that would sell it for a fair price. I'm surprised there aren't any out there available. Since I bought these I have been doing a lot of searching online for misc. parts and it's usually pretty easy to find what you need, just not this guard.

Is there a different section on this forum where this post might get more hits from guys that might potentially have what I'm looking for?
