Almost 8 years after the original post, this machine is finally coming together. The vision changed somewhat in that time, it will be a show only trike. While everything is rebuilt or new, I won't be putting any fluids in or attempting to start it. It's a bit of a bummer, but it is what it is. I'm waiting one parts to come back from the player right now, when I get them next week I should have 99% of the parts. I picked up some very special pieces for this machine over the last 20 years, it's definitely going to be a 1 of a kind machine.
Looking for a Bassani silencer for a 2nd gen tecate, the style with the movable mount. 1st gen will work
Is that an NOS tank?!?!
I see from the living room trike pile, that you too have an understanding lady like mine.... Although Deonna broke her big toe on my BSA A50 while walking thru the living room in the dark one night to get a glass of water.
She's NOT cool about spray painting stuff and then baking it in the oven or using the oven for bearing removal, though.
Looking forward to the results

A Kiester is always quick to jump on a typo and make a funny joke. Well played buddy.
Ironchop, there's lots of deception in this photo. The tank is a Clarke reproduction, and my wife is absolutely not ok with this. Ive been unsuccessfully lobbying to keep this in the living room for many years. We made a compromise, she's letting me build it in the living room but after the Pine Lake race at the end of this month, it has to find a new home. The basement hardly seems like a suitable place for it, I really have no clue where it will go

Was, not anymore. Now I can build stuff in my living room and wash parts in the dishwasher and set sleeves in my oven. It’s truly epic
Got my parts back from the platers and started final assembly.
I know for a fact they lost my brake bleeders, now I'm paranoid every time I can't find a bolt. I also misplaced some parts over the years, had to make an emergency call to the tecate store for some stuff. This will be conplete in 2 weeks, somehow

Thanks buddy, I had no clue why it was upside down. And yes, the worm hole sucks. I imagine a nice parallel universe where there is a hamper full of all the socks that got lost in the dryer and my damn missing bolts.
Also, a stupid mistake by me, I didn't check my bolts and had a 1st gen swingarm link bolt beautifully chromed instead of the 2nd gen one that is about a half inch longer. Not sure how I'm going to fix this mess up. Very disapointing
