Kawasaki Tecate 3 question

[ajb399]

Hello All! I recently purchased a 1985 Kawasaki Tecate 3. This machine is a monster to put it lightly. The only thing that I do not like about it is the twist grip throttle. Can anyone tell me what thumb throttles from other atv's will work with this trike? I have herd that one from a Kawasaki Mojave will work. Can anyone confirm that for me? Also does anyone know where I can find the headlight assembly for this trike? Thanks.

Most sport quad thumbs will work.
I am going to use a Tecate 4 thumb which is most likely just like a Mojave and Bayou. One guy used a YFZ450 one...

.
look on ebay for the headlight . . they pop up occasionally

heres a slightly bent guard with the rubber bushings . . you can buy the collars for the bushings and you can straighten the bracket.
