[Ragar]

Sweet, I honestly think we have the Manuals at work.

I need to pick up some 2 stroke oil tomorrow. any recommendations?

Also you still haven't said why you hoped i didn't bid on the Rads?

Also Id love to see the plastics from HornetPowerSports

Finally remembered the log in for the Kawasaki website.
Get this!
Its a 1986 Model
03/03/1987 build date
Sale date on 12/03/1987
So its a Very late Built 86 model. Must have been one of the last 86s before 87 models.

Would have been cool as an 87, but I dont think there was a huge change up, if what i see is right.
Im still excited about it Still a rare find!

someone else mentioned the rads.

there are lots of good oils out there . . i would buy one that is easy to find everywhere . . maxima m is xlnt . . i would run it at 32:1 . . if you race then maxima 927 is xlnt . . the regular kawasaki 2 stroke engine oil is one of the better oils out there believe it or not but a honda shop or wallmart won't have it so availability is a bit limited . . . golden spectro ands klotz techniplate are also popular but i prefer maxima.

Somebody in here reminds me of Barnett… just saying?

I just thought the radiators were over priced with the shipping (but when ebay takes 20%, then paypal..extra shipping covers fees). But they may be in great shape, idk. I looked and only problem I see is a lot of the fins look folded over and pushed in. you can straighten them but it takes time.

I really like Maxima 927 but not in cold weather, Castor oil is not good in the winter. Let the oil wars begin .lol. I run cheap Vavoline oil from Autozone or where ever and people freak out. I have used it for years. 32:1

I have run klotz, yamalube, AMS, people go brand crazy, I think they are overpriced and just about anything will work.

But over the years 927 and yamalube stick out in my mind from remembering finding oil in the crank case at rebuild time. Meaning the oil was getting on the main/big rod end bearings. Was running AMS during a melt down and found not much oil around crank anywhere.

Whats with the one piece tank and shrouds? where is that from, i keep seeing them.

[nd4speed]

lol, dcplastics made a tank cover shroud combo. LOL I have those new in a box too. They dont sell those anymore I dont think.
The fit and installation were not perfect. And then Clarke started making new gas tanks and killed the purpose of them

And this time they're armed with an "edit button" too.

Imagine a set of OEM plastics. That's how good the HornetPowerSports plastics look.

[jeswinehart]

I take terrible pictures, especially at 5 in the morning.

These are a set Justin sent home with me to ship out if there was someone interested in buying while he was out of town on extended vacation.

PM me if interested at 120.00 shipped stateside.

Thanks, john

Anyone have a pic of the DC shrouds?
ORI wants 129 for a head light shroud :O seems high but looks nice...

[Ryanq55]

This is ORI's headlight shroud sitting on the OEM rear fenders. I know pictures can be deceiving but to me it looks like a damn near perfect match. Unfortunately I can't tell you about fit and finish since it's never been mounted to a headlight frame or anything but as far as the radiator shrouds and front fender they mounted perfectly.

[Ragar]

I cant afford $425 for the front end kit atm.
so it'll be DC for now, I'll be riding this quite a bit, so ill take the less expensive route. He gave me a small box of misc parts i never checked out, and in side was one, maier? Shroud. To bad one isnt enough lol

[Racer-X]

Awesome trike. Welcome.

[Ragar]

New Pictures, Was out Riding. and earlier That day when with a couple guys i know getting the big three together.

[bgauld60]

I have found a 1987 Tecate on Craigslist. Original owner, everything is complete, runs, and is in decent shape. What is an 87 T3 worth restored?
