    Almost done! I also have some 86-87 tecate parts I didn't use if anyone is interested. All items are NEW, K&N air filter for stock air box, throttle cable, motion pro twist throttle, front brake lever, OEM twist throttle grip and some other things I can't think of right now. PM me if interested in any parts.

    Very nice work. And, where did you get a new front rotor?
    Enjoy your TECATE. It looks fantastic...

    Hello
    Nice resto, I actually did most of the development testing on all the kxt models when I was at kawi so I'm kind of fond of them. The 86 kxt was my favorite, the original prototype they had me test was terrible, I had to redo lot's of things on it, lol.

    Thanks for the info.

    As for the frame, it is powder coated, I do not know the exact name of the color. I could prob find out if that would help you. It was one of the generic colors they had at the powder coaters, but it was pretty close to dead on to the OEM color.

    TORKER, The rotors I had resurfaced. I have an extra 86 rotor that is resurfaced, PM me if you are interested.

    I powder coated my 87 with "silver sparkle." It has a little more sparkle than the OEM color but it is still a good match. I can post some pictures in the future.

    Another cool silver color is 'alien silver' from NICI.

    It's what I put on my handlebars.

    So, I am pretty much done with this build. These are not the best photos, but I am pretty happy with how it turned out. Looks pretty nice next to my 250r. The only thing left to do is get a new Clarke gas tank.
