    New Find 1987 Tecate

    I just got this find yesterday, thought it was an 86 till i started looking at it further. It needs a lot of work. It came with a motor. ill well be needing a swingarm and rear suspension setup. Any help would be great.

    What is the little black plastic knob in the first pic? I was thinking a keyed ignition, until I saw it looks like something to aim your headlight..

    1987 LT80 (piped, widened)

    nice rolling chassis!!

    How did you pay for this?

    whats wrong with the swingarm? Is the rear brake caliper with a parking brake?


    Its good for a start, you have the light bracket, and the air filter box that are rare to find!!!

    the swingarm is a little beat up around the pivot, and yes the whole rear brake is there same with the front. what would be a good price for one of these. dont forget i did get a complete motor with it.

    All the swingarm were like this because they didn't use to change the chain slider, they were out of stock.
    It can be easily fixed if you have someone who welds alunimium.

    What are your plans for this trike?

    A restoration or you thing of parting it out?

    Depending on the condition of the motor I'd give $800 all day.

    Good call !
    My 86 swing arm had serious wear marks from the chain too. And like Alex said, it is very repairable - I used the method he said.
    There a couple of us on here making/selling replacement sliders if you are in need.
    sblt500 makes VERY nice and affordable sets and I have my own version that will basically do the same thing.
    I am looking forward to future post about the rebuild, very interesting.

    Nice score ! john

    I don't want to but it. You asked what we thought it was worth. i just realized you're in NH. Get that thing up and running so you can come out and meet the boys.

    There is a boardmember on here named SBLT500R that makes skids amongst other things. Holler at him.
