Finally starting to build my 86 Tecate

[tecaterob]

Hi everyone, This is my first post. Well I've had the bike since 1989 and have manage to get 2 more and 2 t4's. I was suppose to start this build a year ago, but I've had a ton of injuries. I'll try and post as much as I can.

Some Parts still needed, so please help.
*Extended axle
*Aftermarket rear shock
*Aftermarket front rim

All suggestions will be appreciated

Thanks

[mjquadracer]

did you have your forks polished? that tecate 4 is sick , so is the t3, cant wait to get my project off the ground, waiting to get my frame back from powdercoat, but I went with white on the frame. Keep us posted on your progress. Also what kind of ignition is that? thanks

[tecaterob]

The folks are chromed. The only thing that is going to be polished is the motor with powder coat cases (still waiting to get back with some other parts in black)

Thanks for all the welcome guys :D

[tecaterob]

The ignition is a Moto Plat...... PVL bought them a long ago I think.

[tecaterob]

Just got back my cylinder from porting and head shaved. Now starts the fun stuff polishing ( ya right ) . I also got my the other swingarm back and decided to go with the black one. I now know the colors I'll be using. My cases have also been powdercoated already. I'm just waiting for the crank bearings. All the motor work, powder coating, hard stuff is being done by performanceatvracing.com .... He has some nice 250r's and more pics of my T4.

Lookin good my 3 wheeler builder!

[Billy Golightly]

Wow, very nice build, from another FL person. Use to live in Homestead, still have family in Davie and FL City. By the way this thing is looking already (and the T-4 as a gauge) this ought to be sick.

[tecaterob]

[p500r]

[tecaterob]

500 project is next. I have almost everything. I'm just looking at what size motor. I was thinking a 550 with a ?mm stroker. I'm open to suggestions.

[tecaterob]

I'm looking for a number plate.... I've seen a few nice ones on some bikes. I would like to see pics and makes. Thanks again

That is NICE! Where did you get ahold of that at?

[dcreel]

The only one I know of is owned by Curtis-Tecate I think his name is on here. He got it out of CT racings attic. I have seen one sell on Ebay about a year ago.

[tecaterob]

I've got the swingarm, rr shock, links, and axle on. I've been real busy at work ( thank god).... I'll be posting some pics this weekend.

Here's a pic of the 70 some have ask about. My buddys at performanceatvracing.com are building it for me.
