The day begins with 3WW
When I contacted UFO about the Tecate air box. They said they are a different company and know nothing about those days.. I was just wondering if they knew which air filter worked in the UFO Tecate air box. They were less than cordial..Originally Posted by Mosh
I also contacted DC Plastics to repop the Tecate UFO airbox, and he said he couldn't do it, and he would have to take it apart to try.

Well if that is the case that is a bummer. I noticed they pulled their ATV plastics from the line-up as well probably due to lack of sales. I still think that contacting them is still a good idea even if they disregard the order, but at least the more interest they get for trikes may eventually open their minds up to new projects if they continually get interest for items.
Also there is still other options out there for these to be repoped, although it may cost a little more, I think there are companies that can handle that airbox with ease, it is just gonna take some time to find the right people. Keep searching for sure guys.
Here is where my long useless list of stuff nobody cares about should go...

I heard that Hagen (greenboy) is doing some top mount tanks or mock ups anyway. You may want to contact Lucas1 on here he knows quite abit about it, as he is waiting for one. Similar to the one for the Trikefest Raffle Trike (although that one was built by Mosh's buddy Flyin Brian). There are some pics in the Build thread, but I have no idea how much they cost. Being the manager of an Aluminum Fabrication shop I can tell you that making that tank would be timely and tough. So I am sure any cost associated is probably justifiable. A Plastic top mount tank would be awesome though.

A bit off topic, but would someone happen to have pictures from that auction they could repost. I thought I saved the ones of the fenders, tank and airbox, but I can't find them.

Hey Raffa, Some good news on the UFO shrouds... I got a email back from DC Plastics: OK, we may be interested but there would need to be an initial order of 10 or so to cover it. So who's interested in getting a set of UFO shrouds???

How do the UFO Shrouds compaire to the readily available ones made by Maire?
Do they allow more airflow into the rads, thicker, less expensive,, what's the main difference if any?

I am in for a set of Shrouds in red and an underseat airbox
Loves Corn.
Catch me if you can
the originals are thiner than stock and maire
Two hole design was for more air flow.... does it work? probley NOT...?
less expensive... from DC ..probley and probley be a flat finnish like the originals.
main difference is the two hole design and if redone will be thicker than stock..
the main thing is people like to be Different.. and have a different look.

I remember when those UFO's hit ebay a few years back. Pretty sure people were paying around 175-200 per set on Ebay. That was back before anyone was even offering new shrouds and all that was left was polishing out old dull OEM's. Never got a set myself. I bought the 10$ OEM sets on ebay and polished them out.

Making or should I say re-making anything for 3 wheelers is a good thing! After all variety is the spice of life.

DC said that they would be in the same ballpark as the stock shrouds, $59.95 plus shipping and available in yellow or black. Still interested?
