My 500 is a 2002, from what I have read on kxriders you want from 89-04 motor. They r the same.
That's one of the things I'm enjoying about this build is that almost everything is from 2002 and above, so parts won't be hard to find. It's getting tougher & tougher for us Tecate guys in getting parts. (I can't imagine what the Tiger guys go through)

Yea I'm using the T3 radiators. It had the KX500's on but they are smaller. I modified the water pump for cooling also.

You're running a tecate radiator on the left side? How did you get the outlets in the correct positions? I've been having nothing but problems with the Chinese "30% larger" radiator I put on the left side. All of the mounts broke off once and after I got it fixed the mounts pulled again and now it's leaking. It looks great but seems to be made real thin
Looking for a Bassani silencer for a 2nd gen tecate, the style with the movable mount. 1st gen will work

I didn't really like the 500 left side being much smaller. I heated the left side and bent it upwards little by little. Here are some pics of before, after and then hose installed.

Put the decal on the shrouds and now receive both rear decals but still don't know which one to go with. Kind of like to Tecate so no one know what she is but the other hand who gives a Shiite if they know. I can't remove the cover of the sticker but here the image I have. What do you think

Any more pictures of the build? What's it like to ride a 500+ tecate, is it even possible to trail ride without fouling plugs or doing constant wheel stands?

I've been mocking everything together before I take it to the shop. They're going to finish the head mount, bar clamps spacer, electrical and put everything back together to dyno tune.
Just waiting on my ASV levers, Front master cylinder, brake lines and thumb throttle to arrive. Slowly almost there. Here are some pics.
