    Awesome.. Can't wait to watch as you progress. Are your plans to make a nice rider or to restore it back to oem?

    Well I'm not to sure yet, as I found out with my 250r it can be much more costly to do an oem resto and I am not positive all that I am missing just yet. I do want to ride it and i would like to go all oem but depending on cost and rarity of the parts I might cheap out and go aftermarket with some stuff.

    I will also be waiting patiently. We need more Tri-z/ Tecate builds. Too many cookie cutter 250r and 350x builds.

    Maybe I'll get lucky with the raffle trike and I can start my own Tecate build thread.

    Man, I really liked that white frame a lot. To each their own I suppose. I'm sure whatever you come up with it'll be great anyways.
