Heres my 84. It has Jebs old extended axel and swingarm. Also has Jebs fork guards, front fender, and brake line on it. Thanks man, my tecate just wouldnt be the machine it is today if you had not decided to sell some parts.

Man, your KXT gets better looking every time I see it!

Actually the swingarm you got had never been on a trike. It was still new. The west coast on my red one in the pics earlier in this thread went to another guy. I had it recently (before I sold it) bead blasted and powder coated it bright white along with the carrier and put modern WestCoast stickers on it. The axle is the same.

There's been a time or two I wish I still had both! But knowing all those parts went on excellent and running Tecates like aaakowalski's and your's let's me know they went to great homes! With all that nice red plastic I sold aaakowalski, the NOS westcoast swingarm, and the polished engine i had I could have had a red 84 to rival Ange's! I think all I have left of mine is a half sand blasted bare frame, a few bolts and small items, and the 38mm Mikuni Flatslide carb that was on it.

I will always love the 84/85 KXT-250!

Come on y'all thats not everybody! I know more of you have 84/84 Tecates so get your pics up!

Greenlightning that looks awsome, what colour did you use on the tank? Anybody know where I can get a Tank Cover for my 85?

**GreenLightening** · 07-26-2004, 10:49 AM

Thanks BigGreen. It is a custom color I mixed myself. i have many different colors in dupont basecoat. I started with a color similar to kawasaki green and mixed in yellow. I think its a 4:1 mix. its not exact but it came out real close.

everyone has seen mine, but here it is again.

**tecatecrazy** · 08-04-2004, 09:57 PM

was out cleaning up the tecate tonight and thought I should add a few pics to this thread. btw nice t3's guys

**TrikerR** · 08-05-2004, 08:50 AM

ange that is the best looking T3 i have ever seen...probably the best looking trike i have ever seen

I got my Motor and Rear brake system back today, so I will be riding mine In about a week. Got to finish it off nice with some Paint for the motor, and cut the front fender. If this wrks here is an old pic of my Trike during build. I have a PRM Grab bar and the Hi Flite seat cover is on now. Engine is painted and Powdercoated. I allso got a Kenda Front tire, and I have access to a machine that cuts Vinyl. So I'm gonna put a flame graphics kit on it the color of my frame. All I need now is a DG exhaust system. But I might not because i'm selling it as soon as its broke in. It will only see lawn and street while I own it. Its on the Restoration page Gary's Tecate

my new 85 Tecate i will make a 3 hour road trip tomarrow to pick it up.

**BigGreenMachine** · 08-06-2004, 12:40 PM

Tecatecrazy that is awsome looking, hows the Raptor shock working for you?

**tecatecrazy** · 08-06-2004, 11:13 PM

thanks big green, I like it..lol. as far as the raptor shock, its awesome for motor cross. lands very nicely on large jumps, even landing in the middle of 50 ft tables (roughly 35ft...havnt had the balls to take the whole table yet). And the fit is perfect if you dont mind not having an airbox. now if i could just come up with a way of making the forks better. I've got 1" spacers in there but its just not enough, I may have to break down and buy some progressives from dennis kirk.

**BigGreenMachine** · 08-06-2004, 11:53 PM

Thanks a lot Tecatecrazy, thats exactly what I wanted to hear it performed like. I got progressive forks springs and they are super stiff, can only compress them an inch or two by hand, don't even have to run air in your forks with them. As for the airbox, I think I can cut the back out where the contour is so its opened up and makes enuff room for the shock to fit and move. I've got a K&N and a UNI filter, both stock style so I don't want to spend more cash on a slip on filter.

Just out of curiosity, what is the diameter of the opening on the stock carb if I decided to buy a slip on filter?

82-8250R · 08-07-2004, 03:40 PM

ange where can i get a radiator cover like that one you have?

**BigGreenMachine** · 08-07-2004, 06:56 PM

Thats a JWR number plate and they are fairly hard to come across. If you keep an eye on eBay and post in the classifieds about it you may find one.
