** New to 3WW - need help restoring atc 70

[apsantell]

Hi all,
I am new to 3WW. What a great site about three wheelers! I have a 1985 Honda ATC 70 and I am looking
to restore for my 4 year old son. Everything on the machine is great except for the plastics/fenders. I am sure
it is hard to find original oem plastics but was hoping to get some help if anybody knows of some for sale.
I seen the NOS plastic out there, but since I want to restore, I am only looking for oem plastic in great shape.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Tony

NOS is oem isn't it? Nos is just oem fenders that never got used. thats why they call the "New Old Stock". They would be exactly what your looking for? right?

OEM is original equipment, NOS is original equipment lying on a shelf for 25 years... AFTERMARKET is what he doesn't want, it looks like... no Maier for this guy!

[Mr_RPM]

but NOS would mean OEM. unless hes finding Old maier fenders on ebay. he said he found some NOS fenders but wants OEM, well the NOS IS oem. so therefore he found what he needs

OEM or NOS...will not increase or decrease the value more or less than the other...even if you go Maier(if it does it's not by much). Unless that little 70 is BLUE: Then your into an Original only type search(good luck with that). I bet if someone wipped out some spanking NEW blue plastic with stickers never used on ebay...it would pull in the $800 range easy....them blue ones are a collectors dream score. If you don't have a manual...search these forms for a downloadable 100+ page one for free. Keep us posted on the restore, and WELCOME to the boards.

If you decide that something custom might be the way to go, Maier does make a bunch of different colors

If you are going to ride it , put on the Maier fenders, they are pretty nice and alot cheaper then NOS.

There are plenty of OEM Honda 1985 atc70 fenders on ebay that are in real good shape for around 6 bucks. They could easily be polished to new and here is a nice rear to start. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Honda-Atc70-Rear-Fender-1978-1985-70-Atc-new-decal-oem-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQitemZ330457322528QQptZMotorsQ5f ATVQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories

Sorry, I saw Maier plastics that advertised as NOS so I assumed NOS was aftermarket. I will keep the search on. Thanks,
