All this Tecate stuff going on lately has really rekindled my interest in getting mine together and rolling. Had to have the swingarm x-ray'd and welded as it was cracked in a ton of places. Got that all squared away now. Also had to find a rear axle carrier that was not demolished like mine. My original had been welded way to many times. I finally found a mint one. Thought I had two mint ones but a member who will go un-named screwed me over on it. They are hard to find!

Got the shock polished by GKing, got the o-ring and piston whiper from Shawn here on the boards. Installed a new bumper and allballs seal head as well as a NOS HOT PINK progressive suspension rear spring!

Powdercoated the front hub and loaded with new allballs as well. Sporting one of the first stainless front axles Ronnie ever made. Thanks to Ed tecate-z for sending them to Ronnie to have them made. This was the last thing Ronnie sent me before he passed away.

Man! Its been a minute since I had a second and a half to work on anything with wheels! My job has kept me traveling, installing and repairing CNC machines all over the place! Got some time to play with parts for my Mean Green today. Finally got my brake calipers all back together with new pistons, seal kits and pads. Along with some fresh powder coat and some super trick Titanium bleeders and banjo bolts! Need to powdercoat the swingarm still. Had to have that welded as it was cracked in multiple spots. Got some fork boots thru WPS for the front end as well. The last picture is of the TRX250R thumb throttle that I modified in the mill to accept an 86 KXT throttle cable. It has been fitted with an insert that has the proper M8x1.25mm thread to accept the Kawi throttle cable. I love the smoothness of these throttles. I wouldnt have had to modify this if I had an 86 250 R cable laying around but this literally took 15 minutes to do on the mill.

Hope to have my new Dura-Blue axle for this sometime this week!

Wow, looking good, I hear ya when it comes to being too busy to play. I swear I barely have time to wheel with the kids, much less work on my projects.

Looks great!
