    Need info & Pics of Vintage Racers

    Hey guys,

    I am looking into to a couple projects that I need some info. I want to build a 1985-86 Racer Bikes like they were (or close to it). I was planning on doing a triz, 84-85 tecate first and then branch from there. Like Jimmy White and the other vintage racers.
    I am working on getting old magazines with photos & info on some of these bad boys. I was just seeing if there's any pics or info online that can help me through my quest. I love 3 wheelers and wish I had Millions of dollars cause I would just build bikes everyday for the rest of my life.

    Any info or guides you can give me would be great

    Thanks
    Tyler

    This is the bible for 84-85 tecate race Tecates. It's from the Kawasaki factory on how to make your tecate a racer. It's an interesting read regardless.

    Here is a picture of Tecatekid's 85 tecate racer. THE best Tecate race restoration EVER. This bike is on my desktop background. CalFab short track tank, UFO airbox. This thing is as rare and trick as they come. I drool over this Tecate daily.

    Dang Shortline I wonder where those are sitting now. What I wouldn't give to have one of those sitting in my garage. I like the holes drilled in the plastic to uncover the UFO airbox. Where's my hole saw?
