Update on my Custome Tecate Project

[Meat-BoX]

Well finall got to building and its coming along just fine. My Builer "Lins Performance" is a damn genious and has made several tools in order to take care of business. He also is a perfectionist which is very important to me when I build a project like this. Any way we pushed in all the bearings thanks to his Tecate bearing pusher kit he tooled up. " Im trying to get him to sell some for the Tecate and other machines" It took us less than an hour to put in every bearing on this trike. After that everything went smooth except for the rear shock I had some DORK rebuild. I told him what this shock was goin on and he jammed me all up with a leaking shock. So we go to take it apart and wallah another tool is made for that dilema. We get into the shock and the interior is all rusty. No wonder that fool gave me back a leaky shock. I bought the whole rebuild kit but the damn interior of the shock doesnt want to come apart. So guess what My builder has to tool up another of his inventions in order to get this shock rebuilt proper. So the rear shock is holding up the project till this weekend. I just wanted to let you all know that were having a ton of fun figuring out how to deal with 20 year old problems :-D I wil attach a pic or 2 for all to see. Shh I told my wife I got 1500 - 2000 dollars into this project :BTF She will.

:shock: What a nice project!!! Let us know about your future progress...I really like the color of the frame, it looks awesome. Did you powercoat it?

Continue your great job, man! 8)

[trikerider2oo7]

dude thas awesome. what color of plastics will be on it?

[Meat-BoX]

Yea I had Sumax powdercoat it. I found out afterward that they do the Powdercoating for Orange County Chopers. www.sumax.com
I got some more sick ideas for my motor because of what they do to engins. Anyway I had it Powdercoated California Grape, Chrome with metalflake, and Tecate green with Gold metalflake. I bought Maier Plastic all the way around , and ITP T9 Pro Series rims with Titan Fastrekkers for the rear. I have a New Titan Turf Tamer on the front for now but im not to sure about it. Im lookin at the Kenda, It has that trike front tire shape.Every part on this Tecate has been redone right down to the nutz and bolts. Heres another pic of the chrome with flake. :-D

Looks sweet,let us know how it goes...

[Jeb]

Looking great! but you do need to roll that front turf tamer into the creek or something and definitely go with the 22x11-10 Kenda Front Max, unless you can come up with a new stocker.

I'm ready to see it with plastic!

[Meat-BoX]

Yea thats what I figured about that front tire. I got the dealer all confused gettin rims, rear tires and other parts. They dont keep up on their paperwork good I guess because they just opened so I was like Wheres my front tire? And I got one! :shock: For Free. It good for mock up. We are taking the rest of the week off and will finish it this weekend I hope.The Green plastic looks great on the machine but im a little worried it might be to Green. So I will get some Tecate stickers to break it up a bit and I bought a sick arse Hi Flite Flame seat cover. Lime green flames going towards the rear with the rest of the seat Purple. I put some different pics on my cheesey site so check em out if you want.

We need to have a 3 wheeler world 2004 custom three wheeler contest. It would be fun and look Cool with 30 or so custome Trikes

[Meat-BoX]

I KNOW THIS IS JUST A DORKY PIC BUT IT WORRIES ME. Maybe a flame kit on the tank or something? Or maybe it will be fine now that I have the trike together. Please give me some ideas. A Tecate sticker kit?

[Jeb]

I think something on the tank would look great. even if it was just the stock Kawasaki decal. Or, a custom decal with some of your metallic purple color.

[Meat-BoX]

Yea thats what Im thinking We will see when its done.

By the way you get ahold of that dude with the Cal Fab swinger. I got his email. I wanted it but I figure it wont work on my 84 Tecate. Let me know he's takin offers trailprotrailpro he puts it on E-bay. :-D

[Meat-BoX]

I give out 1 more pic because im so pumped :oops:
The shock was rebuilt by a chump. He couldnt do it and said he did. So its not on yet or you would see a nice polished shock with a Tecate green with Gold metal flake spring and a Califorina Grape Bottle. Were workin on it. I got the complete kit so all of my suspension will be rebuilt. :-D

[250SX_rider]

Yea...it turned white, but it's cool anyway... :shock: It's gonna be ONE SWEET tecate!!! 8)

[Meat-BoX]

100 bucks for a brand new coil and cap and I found a new O Ring chain thats Tecate Green on the side for 80 bucks I think the chain will look good and a little Green out back besides my Spring.
I allso picked up a beautifull Stainless nut bolt and washer kit, 250 pieces for my Tecate body off of E-Bay. I allso have a killer Stainless Allen head bolt kit for the motor. But I think im gonna Have Sumax powdercoat and polish the right side cover and do the head. Im hoping to have it all together this weekend though. Still need my PRM Grab bar and DG hard Chrome ehaust. But I will prevail. Shhhhhh Dont tell the wife. :shock:

[Meat-BoX]

I got my new Hi Flite seat cover and its killer so I am selling the other new one I bought off of E-Bay. I allso have a real nice pair of forks that dont leak and look pretty good. I allso have a Wishbone rear suspension part for an 84 Tecate with good bearings in it. I just want to get rid of this stuff so It will go cheap.

[Meat-BoX]

Damn rear shock is jammin us up, but we will prevail. :-D
