    Building 2 Tecates

    I have 3-86 and 1-87 tecates. I'll be building 2 at the same time for now.
    First is a 86 as a few aftermarket goodies I'll post pics when they load.

    Second is a 87 with KX 500 (540 Big Bore). Using for DRAG..

    Trying post some pics, but wont load... I'll keep trying

    Thanks for the T4 comment. I loaded that pic by mistake.

    Getting my cases from powder coating on Saturday and will start building the motor.

    Yeah, I can tell there is a lot of love in that T-4. Don't be shy, there are a lot of quad riders here too. You can always start a thread on the T-4 in the quad section, hint hint

    Do the TRX hubs fit ?

    I read somewhere the 300ex fit, but when I tried they didn't..

    Yes, trx450r, 400ex, 250x/300ex, 200x and many more fit the 86-88 Tecate splines. I'm not sure why 300ex didn't work for you. Aftermarket axle maybe? Some aftermarket 86-87 Tecate axles used the earlier 84-5 spline count in order to use the 4/4 hubs for running 8" wheels. But now that I looked at your picture closer you seem to have a stock axle.

    The 300ex hubs fit my T4, but not my stock T3 axle. I ordered some TRX hubs for my 70, I'll see if those fit.

    I want to run 8in rears. We have a lot of rocks in Miami Fl.

    Been looking all over the site and haven't seen inverted folks on the tecate. I only see them on the 250r's. Does someone know anyone on the site that can help me with this??
    I'll be interested in making some triple clamps also for them and not modify the OEM. I can use the chromed one on the kx500 build.

    Thanks in advance
