    Thanks, nothing for 86/87? or does that rear fender fit all of them? I don't know what year this thing is....It's starting to sound less and less like a deal....

    If it is an 86 or an 87 Tecate for $400 you got the deal of the century.

    Like I said...No idea what year it is..Apparently it's been painted camo too....So new plastics may be in order...I'll look it over when I get there tomorrow and try to figure out the year. Disc or drum front brake narrows it down to 86/87 and 84/85 right? I just wanted to cover my bases on plastic availability. I haven't even seen pics of this thing yet.....

    Hey guys!...After an 870 mile round trip...made longer by having to drive around a dust storm that closed the highway for 40 miles... and 15 hours in the pickup... I have a 1985 Tecate in the bed....She's ugly but mine! Gonna need alot of cleanup work and fixin brakes and a few other things but she runs good! Eventually I'll probably tear it down and do a ground up but for now just a degrease and cleanup and ride it!. Hope to have it on the dunes for our next ride Oct. 17-21... I'll post up some pics when I get em!

    Machines owned by old guys are the best. my dad got a little 185cc from an older fellow who just had knee surgery. With no shocks...old bones and a replaces knee, the 185 just was not right for him, so we came across it and picked it up. Mint mint condition. he actually refused to sell it to anyone younger than 40 because he didn't want to think of it getting wrecked !!
    I am glad you made a good grab on the machine !!

    Well...Mine was definitely not bought new by this guy...It was a non running bucket when he got it..I'd estimate he's about 75 or so....This thing isn't real pretty but it does seem to run pretty good... Looking at the plastic (which is OD green now) it looks like it was real faded to begin with so he sprayed it...But he used regular spray paint on it so it's peeling.... Gonna have to do something with that and I'm not prepared to buy new at this point... The OD is growing on me...

    I dunno...There are spray paints out there that are made for plastics...how well they work I do not know.... I know regular spray paint does not though. There are paint tutorials on this site...
