    Another sticker question...and a tough one at that!!!!!!!!!!!

    Who makes this sticker??????????...and why is it on the headlight of my '86 R?

    This looks like one I got in the mail sometime in 1987. It was a safety program that they sent to everyone who bought an ATV at the time.

    One thing that is odd is that there is an air bubble in under this sticker. The factory does not normally do this.

    So where can I get another without a frayed edge?

    looks liek an old Honda warning label. I've found stickers like that on ebay evrey now and then. you gotta search hard, and may not find one in 10 minets, but eventualy, someone will have one and know someone is clickin on ebay just waiting for it. I found some OEM labels for my old 73' XR75 on there. If you really need one, and dont want to wait, probably any vinyl decal maker could make you something that looks 99% like that one if you could show it to them, but it would probably cost a bunch of loot. I always take the warning labels off of things, i hate them

    I thought I read somewhere where it was discontinued but don't quote me on that. I would definatly try to get OEM for it but if you plan to ride it save your new oem for when or if you decide to restore it. I don't have that one, never been asked for it.

    If you order the plastic it will NOT have the decal on it. (separate part numbers)

    That is factory HONDA... see the code bottom right side? (HA2-670)
    HA2 = ATC250R 670 = 1986
    I have a couple things I need to send to Harlan, could you place your headlight on a scanner and send that to me in an email? I'll then forward it to Harlan with some other things I got for him!

    Hmmm... looks like it's embossed in the plastic below his decals in the pics. I wonder if that was deemed not legible enough for the CPSC so they sent out these decals later like was said earlier in the post??? Anyone know/remember??


    Thanks!

    The 85 R had warning label stickers. In 86 they switched to embossed labels with some stickers and now 20 years later they are back to stickers on a plastic plate that is then riveted onto the fenders, etc. Now that's progress!

    About eighteen months ago, I ordered and received an oem 86 R headlight shell and it had the warning decal on it. I always remove those stickers on my new CR's, but let this one stay on my ATC for restore reasons. I do not know if you can still get the headlight shell from honda anymore.

    The sticker you got in the mail in the late '80s from buying a trike was a long sticker with all the CPSC safety rules, much like the sticker thats on the front fender of a new quad (300ex, 400ex, etc). It was too big for the headlight. And from the new '86 headlight shells I've seen, the warning is embossed but it doesn't come the sticker.

    The 86 R in the original Honda Brochure did not have the decal but did have the embossed warning on the headlight.

    Hi Darius,

    I think what you'll find is that if you order the headlight shell from Honda now, it will actually come with the decal on it, but will no longer have the warning embossed into the plastic, so the label is where the original shell has the embossing.

    It's the same with the rear fenders. The tyre warning on the left side of the rear fender on the new OEM stuff is now actually a decal rather than an embossing. I think they must have damaged the moulds at some point, so just left the embossing out and replaced it with a decal.

    Cheers,
    Jez

    Jez,

    You are a smart man. Finally someone explained it. I was wondering about this. So the original headlight and fenders are unique because you can buy any with the embossing anymore.

    Something to consider if I sell them on ebay.

    Thanks!
