    My FREE Tecate

    Did some trading with a square that I had been given. Ended up getting an 85 Tecate.

    Naked like I got it. Runs good though


    quick bath


    How you like the custom sportster seat.. Got a grab bar for it


    cleaned up the spray painted tank


    Rebuilt the brakes. None of them worked and added a new piece. Front and rear. Kinda fond of the Richter silencers so I made one work for it..


    Finally picked up some plastics and a stock seat. Paddles should be here tomorrow. Ready for the Rampage then it will get tore down and made pretty. Man these things need a few inches added to the swinger. They just look so stubby..


    Not sure what route I am going to go with it yet. I am going to build it as my wifes / backup bike. She likes it cause she can kick it. She doesn't do well with my R. 110 lbs and good compression don't get along.. I am thinking of doing white plastics. I'm looking for some cool pieces for it in the mean time..

    The person who says it cannot be done should not interrupt the person who is doing it.

    I should have paddles sitting at the front door when I get home today. I want to have a couple sets of wheels and tires for it when I'm done. Looking at some hosiers and a set of fast trekkers at the moment. Trying to figure out the front tire situation. Got it for the sand just not sure what to run for the other 2.

    I have a set of 18in fast trekkers on my 84, they slide like butter, but I wouldnt go off the gravel road with them, they are just too low, and they require major gear changing going to 18in. I would recommend 20's for the rear for fast trekkers. For the front, I have always been a big fan of the kenda front max. Ever seen one on the front of a tecate? It looks sweet, and handles awesome.

    What size Kenda max do you run on them. I have never seen one on a tecate. I like the max. It is what I run on my R's.

    Paddles did come in today.
