I don't know if this thread contains the post you were referring to in your earlier post but here it goes:
T3 Parts Interchange
Thanks for putting out the info for us. I am gearing up to give my T3 some much needed TLC and this stuff is coming in handy for sure. I've read about Banshee, Raptor, 300EX, and 250R rear shocks fitting. Can someone give me some solid info on this as it relates to my 86 T3?
Thanks.

TRANSMISSION. Recommended transmission oil is
SAE 10W-30 or 10W-40 motor oil with an API classification
of SE. The manufacturer recommends changing
transmission oil after every 20 days of operation.
The transmission sump is filled through filler cap (F—
Fig. K10-1) opening. Oil level should be maintained at
middle of sight glass (G). Sump is drained by removing
plug in underside of sump. Transmission sump capacity
is 700 mL (23.8 oz.) on all Al and A2 models and 800
mL (27.2 oz.) on B1 and B2 models. Tighten transmission
sump drain plug to 20 N-m (14.5 ft.-lbs.).

Great thread.
I don't have much to offer that hasn't been already mentioned.
For anyone who may be interested in this, all I can say is for anyone who has an 84/85 that would want to put the front end of an 86/87 on it, it bolts right up. That way the front end is far superior, with better forks, and a taller, skinnier tire for better handling. You will have to make a bracket for the radiator. I see a way to do it using the existing bolts that normally hold the 86 T3 headlight bracket. I will show pics and step by step how I make the bracket when I get it fabbed.
arent the steering stem stops different on the two models forks?

i used a 2002 kx125 petcock. bolted right up with NO mods.
Rear hubs from a kawasaki KLT 110 will fit tight, and still uses the stock bolt pattern. (For 84-85 Tecate)

They are different only that they are shaped slightly different and look a little different. They both measure approximately 3.5 inches across. Even with the bigger 85 gas tank on, I have full turning radius all the way until the stops meet, and the fork doesn't hit the tank. In fact, with the 86 front on there, the turning radius actually equals a greater radius, because it is skinnier and thus turns farther because of the physics of it.
So, for all intents and purposes, the stops work just as well, and do their job if the front ends are swapped. I hope that answers your question.
has anyone figured out a replacement for the rear master cylinder on the 86 tecate?
Look in the thread I linked to above. I'm 99% sure someone found an easily adapted replacement.

I read a post where a guy put a Banshee rear shock on his LT250R so I believe my assumption about a rear 1985-90 Suzuki LT250R shock working on a Tecate 3 is correct. The shock is like 1.5 inches longer and you could drill the bearing sleeve out to fit the tecate bolt.
**UPDATE** 6/11/2010
Another thread where a guy said the banshee shock is direct bolt on for 1985-1990 LT250R
LT250R shocks are rebuildable and available easily.
The LT shock is longer than both Banshee and T3 though by 1.5" so maybe Banshee is better fit and even more available, guess it depends on the ride.

I hate the look of my 84-85 tecate gas cap, and was looking around the net and found a black billet aluminum one with the vent hose for $29 for a banshee. Checked the cap on the Banshee tank on the tecate tank. Its a perfect fit.
Needless to say I'm ordering one for my Tecate.
You can also make an 84 tecates rear shock compression adjustable by using the kx reservoir with the adjuster on it.
1985 KX125 clutch cable works on a 84-85 Tecate as well. Tried that one at the desert to get my tecate back on the road.
