    This is depressing, the Hoosier is too fat for the 250r and won't fit between the forks. Looks like it would be right at home on a first gen Tecate, but not the R. Looks like the oem front is going back on. I hate changing 250r front tires, what a pain in the asse!

    I don't. It wouldn't be correct for this build anyway.

    Did you try inflating it more?
    Looking for a Bassani silencer for a 2nd gen tecate, the style with the movable mount. 1st gen will work

    I did, it didn't make a difference.

    No, this is one I got from 86T3. Looks like a good excuse to buy a first gen Tecate again.

    Close your eyes and imagine the year is 1985 and you've won the first heat...

    You're due up to the line in 15 minutes where Mickey Dunlop and some hot shot guy named Barnett (famous at the time for being the only racer with a pocket protector sewn into his jersey) that Kawasaki flew in at the last minute are waiting to be spanked, but you blew out a side wall on your front tire when you landed the last triple and the only replacement available is a Hoosier that rubs the forks.

    As you desperately search the pits for a suitable replacement you spot a 7" grinder unattended near a power cord that will reach to your forks... What would the forks on a period correct trike from that moment in history look like today?

    Seriously, does it have a tube in it? If not you might try one. It might push the tire up more than across, at least they do on dirt bike tires VS Tubliss systems.
    It sucks to get old
