Price of 85/86 250R ATC nos fenders??

[harleysled]

I'd like to grab a set of these fenders. Even piece by piece. Anyone have any to sell? What is market price for each piece these days? Thx

I saw a full NOS plastic set on eBay sell for $4500 last year

That was rear fender, front fender, rad covers, those 2 little frame covers, and headlight shell all of it NOS in package.

Last NOS headlight shell by itself I saw on eBay was $850+/- and it might still be up.

Last NOS rear fender alone got $2000+ I would expect the front fender to get $1000

NOS rad covers are still available from Honda distributors. They are about $100 for a pair.

This is the highest I have personally seen those things sell for in the last year. That's not to say better or even worse deals couldn't be had, but the market is hot right now. There's a growing restoration market for shops restoring trikes and some SERIOUS collectors with huge buildings filled large collections numbering over 100 machines in a number of cases. These are all the people you're competing with to score NOS fenders and the asking prices have reflected this.

Thanks Ironchop. Good information much appreciated

Honda could make so much money if they would just produce ATC and TRX fenders again. I wonder if they have ever un-discontinued a part due to high demand? It would be great if someone knew an insider in the company that could advocate on our behalf.

I wonder what would happen to machine prices if they did produce those fenders again. Would they go up or down? Mint fendered bikes are worth a lot. Every polished turd of a bike out there would now have nice fenders.

Honda is the main company who pushed legislation through Congress that they didn’t have to produce parts for vehicles after they were discontinued (model changes ) after 10 years from final production date. That being said, molds are destroyed shortly after that end date. So even if you had an insider those molds are long gone.

Way to crush our hopes and dreams Shawn lol.

No manufacturer ever produces parts for old machines (ten years or more). Make parts hard to find and force the average person to buy a newer model. If people kept their old stuff running, who would buy new ones?

Didn't Kawalski do a run of T3 fenders a year or so ago? Or did i dream that up?

Even if Honda did, and they would sell every fender they made, i cant imagine them putting themselves back in the spotlight like that.

Yes, i bought one from Kawasaki. Seems like they could sell them because they fit a four wheeler some company was making. Not 100% sure on that.

[Dirtcrasher]

^^ Ben Meyer, Joe Swatland and MIK6 all got brand new rear fenders last year; And I too recall it as a "new run", but I could be wrong...


^ I believe I saw OEM Kawasaki bags.

Kawasaki used the 86-87 T3 rear fender on a GNCC factory quad in the 2000's and the part # was still good. Guys started ordering them and since they still had the mold, they started making them again. I have one with a 2015 manufacturing date.

Wow. I did not know that. And this whole time I thought all Tecate information was lost with the departure of the great Barnett465389

FACT, Barn probably told Kawasaki to keep that part # alive.

I'm sure that barn probably knew this info and I'm just regurgitating his knowledge.
