Greetings ladies and gentlemen of the three wheelin world. My name is Jonathan and I just joined the site.
I havent had a 3 wheeler since I was 16 and now I own the one I really wanted at 16. When I was younger I had a honda big red 200 but my mom made me sell it when it flipped it a few times on a gravel road fishtailing...I was ok just a couple scrapes...Anyway I am 41 now so I can decide what toys I want. I am interested in performance modifications and I WILL PAY TOP PRICE FOR A SET OF RADIATOR SHROUDS IN GOOD SHAPE ( MUST SEE PHOTOS ) any help would be thankful and thanks for letting me join the site.

Vehicles :
1986 Kawasaki Tecate KXT 250 / 2005 Kawasaki KDX 200 / 2007 Buell 1200 cc

Welcome Jonathan! Those Tecate shrouds can be illusive, I hear. I'm on the lookout for a RH side myself. I'm kind of hoping someone around here will start making them. *hint, hint, cough cough* :)

Anyway, post up some pics of your rides. :beer

I'm kind of hoping someone around here will start making them. *hint, hint, cough cough* :) hornet powersports has been making them a while along with the headlight bezel . hornetpowerspor. is his user name.

Swinehart makes intake boots, overflow bottles, chain sliders and 87 bar clamp covers. Sprock has bigbores and billet cool heads. Hagen has fender beaces, sprocket covers, swinger extenders, boltkits and more. I know more members make other parts keep your eyes open..
good luck w the T3

I've got a set of brand-new Hornet Powersports shrouds, never mounted. They look top notch. Quality is second to none.

I sent him a private message telling him you are looking for a set of shrouds. The ball is in his court now as to when and if he gets in touch with you.

http://www.kawieriders.com/ IDK if there's much help on this site but its at least something to check out. I had a local place here do a 200x metal tank for me you could call them and see if they think plastic tanks are something they would do.http://www.pickartsradiator.com/

I'll think about it. I wanted to sell my 86 soon as a basket case but I kinda wanted to sell it all at once.

LMAO! Not for sale!
Even though the 86 and the 87 are blown up rite now! My new sprock 300 will be here soon for the 87. I have the 86motor apart as we speak, top end locked up yesterday, but it was a junkyard build was waiting for it to blow. Got to order connecting rod, crank bearings, piston, gaskets and seals..... ohh well.. i rode it after owning it for 10 years.. lol

My plan is to go thru the 87 300cc motor, it will have the higher comp dome and highly ported w all the hight rev tricks in the base. Keep that in the 87 chassis w the +6 swinger and +6 axle w the works shock.
Then a stock base w a pump gas dome on a non ported 300 for the 86 chassis. Stock or +2 swinger w axle spacers. Stock shock and a headlight. Same colors, twins sort of.. lol
We will see what happens w 86 #2... LOL

I promise I'll drag my 86 out once it warms up Mik. I totally have been dragging my arse on this one man.
