    Tecate

    I REALLY COULDN'T TELL THAT THE HANDLING SUFFERRED WHEN I PUT THE +6" SWINGARM ON IT, BUT I RIDE MOSTLY IN THE DUNES. THIS LAST WEEKEND I WAS HILLCLIMBING AGAINST A SLICK BANSHEE IN THE SAND AND WHIPPING HIM PRETTY BAD. THE NEXT THING I KNOW HE'S STOPPED AT THE BOTTOM OF THE DUNE SO I PULLED UP TO B.S. HE HAD GERNADED HIS CLUTCH TRYING TO KEEP UP WITH MY OLD HEAP! GOES TO SHOW YOU THAT THE "TRAINING WHEEL" UP FRONT ON A QUAD CREATES TOO MUCH RESISTANCE!!! I TOLD HIM FOR ANOTHER $800 OR SO HE COULD FIX THE WEAK trailprotrailprotrailprotrailprotrailpro CLUTCH AND HAVE A CHANCE AGAINST MY 17 YEAR OLD 250!!

    Very Nice T3 JBKX. I assume that you are in Cali. It is always good to hear about the almighty banshee getting beaten by an old 3 wheeler. Some people just never want to believe these stories so lets hear some more. I would like to see some info on the KX500 motored T3 and its installation. How about some pics of the KXT500! You can email me if you do not prefer to respond on the board.

    That Tecate kicks ASSSSSSSS! It's nice to hear stories of the 'ole' trikes tearing up them new fangled overengined and overweight golfcarts.

    I'LL GET SOME PICS OF THE 500 SOON. IT'S GETTING THE STOCK SWINGARM LENGTHENED 8" AS SOON AS I GET SOME TIME. I ALSO LUNCHED 4TH GEAR GIVING IT HECK OUT ON THE HIGHWAY (CLOSED COURSE, WINK,WINK). I'M GOING TO SPLIT THE CASES SOON AND FIX AND REPAIR. WHILE IT'S APART I'M GOING TO SEND THE CRANK OFF TO GET IT BALANCED. IT VIBRATES SOME BUT NOT TOO BAD. THE INSTALL WAS A PIECE OF CAKE. I FABBED 2 NEW FRONT MOTOR MOUNTS AND HAD FTZ BUILD A DRAG PIPE. THAT'S ABOUT IT!! 5TH GEAR WHEELIES ARE A BIT TOO MUCH FOR ME. BY THE WAY, I LIVE IN KANSAS NOT CALI. ONE OF THESE DAYS I'M GONNA LOAD UP THE TECATES AND HEAD TO GLAMIS IF IT'S STILL OPEN FOR RIDING, NOT JUST LIZARD AND DESERT FLOWER WATCHING WITH THE TREE HUGGERS!!

    Ok. I'll be looking for the 500 pictures soon. If you could would you mind not typing in all caps. To some people it is considered yelling on the internet. Just wanted to let you know, and again awesome tecate. :-D
