    New guy here with a tecate project

    What's up everyone, been lurking on here for awhile now getting a lot of much needed info and I hope to share what I know if I can. Well I figured it was time to share my project I have been slowly working on. It was really rough when I picked her up but I am a big fan of projects especially when it has a motor and 3 wheels. I hope you guys like it and I hope the pictures do it justice

    Well I can't see the photos because the staff here hates me so they blocked my access to viewing them thinking that I might really give a flyin fk, lol.

    Anyway, if it is an 84, and you plan to ride it hard over bumps or do some jumping with it you should upgrade it to the 85 rear suspension. I have the parts if you need them as well as some other miscellaneous items and may have a cnc'd billet aluminum lower tripple tree as well which is several pounds lighter than the stock one.


    Hey barn...just how would one give a flyin fk if they actually could?

    Thanks everyone!! It's been a little bit of a struggle putting her together finding parts ordering and waiting ended up spending a lot of nights looking for parts still missing a lot but that's life buying the stainless bolt kit off eBay well worth the money all the bags labeled really made life easy didn't have to run all over looking for metric bolts.
    I'm hoping to start working on the motor this weekend

    Dan, do you have any photos of when You received it ? You'd mentioned it was ruff,,, you won't be scaring any one here I am sure most of us on 3ww have had at least 1 "ruff shape" trike project.

    Thanks, john

    That looks good! I think it's an 85 since it has rear disc brakes. I can see a problem. I doubt that the 350x shop manual will help much with the Tecate.

    Here's are some pics of the original posting from Craigslist and some pics when she made it home. It has come a long way since then. Sorry these were the best I could get they were on my old phone so all I could get was a screen shoot

    You are obviously one of them honda guys. All tecates had rear disc brakes.

    Sorry Barnett, I thought that there was some difference in the brakes like that. Was it 84 had drum front and 85 had disc front? You're right, I'm not up on Kawis as much as I am on Hondas. I'd love to have a Tecate, but for me the part prices are a little bit on the high side so I stick mostly with Hondas.
