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

I don't think it's the 30 year old ones they would be worried about. It would be new ones being filed. It sounds far fetched, but I can see how the risk is just not worth the reward.

Silly to cause if you look at the percentages of sells vs injuries side by sides are way more dangerous than atcs were. Issue was people letting there 10 year old ride a 250r and going 70mpg or a big red that weighed almost 500lbs when it flipped over on them. Plus the political fire from the Kennedy’s. But I’ll leave that to another post.

I always thought that was the real problem too Shawn. Parents thought it was cool to let there kids go from a 70 to a 250r.

The side x side market fights back also. I don't remember much fighting back when the whole ATC thing was going on. Plus the side x side companies have made some concesions along the way to satisfy some of the law suits that they had. Doors and limiting engine size come to mind.

Even if Honda charged outrageous eBay prices for them, I don't see how it would even be a drop in the bucket for them. They would not hire anyone just to make a run of these which would be limited and I doubt manufacturing jobs there leave anyone with down time to make a run of these. If they did it would be a public relations thing out of the kindness of their hearts.

If $ is an issue then Maier is your cheapest route. WIKID Fabrication is on BookFace and his look good and the color selection is impressive but I have no idea how much $ those cost.
If you want NOS, good luck! It can be done with patience, persistence, money, and luck.

Yep, I started on a 1982 Honda 110 when I was 10 (you cold still get hurt on that thing). We always wanted a go cart but got this instead.....and I was thankful for that.
Graduated to a 1985 Big Red......badly wanted a 4 wheeler but they were "too expensive" so we had to "settle" for this instead......and I was thankful for that.
At 15, my brother and I bought a 1985 350X. I remember seeing one of these in a magazine when they came out and my buddies and I were asking, "why would anyone need something that big?" I had no idea of 2 stroke vs 4 stroke at the time and thought cc was the only measurement of how fast a machine was. The 250R had been out for years but our Big Red had as many cc's as those Needless to say, bought it and still own it today......and I am thankful for that.
