    1984 Kawasaki Tecate from Portugal

    After some time, I decided to start the thread of the build of my 1984 Kawasaki Tecate. As I wrote in my presentation, the trike is with almost all the parts, and my goal is to restore it and put it as original as possible.

    I have had some difficulty finding some parts, but especially in finding some information to clarify some doubts I have. But let's leave that for later and see the pictures.


    First time I saw it, in the pictures that the seller sent me.




    On the day that the bought it.




    At the beginning of the disassembly.

    Testing and checking the Maier fenders. The front one is already drilled and fixed, but the rear, once that it is not so easy, will be for other day.

    Great looking build. How much did it cost to get the swing arm galvanized and powder coated?

    I can not give you the right amount, because I paid the galvanization and powder coating of several parts , but I think that only the swingarm should be about 50 USD.
