    Who owns an 84-85 Tecate on here?

    I know there are a few but lately I'm hearing of more and more. I have an 85 that I've been trying to put together for quite a while now and I'm getting close to the end. Pics to come when its finished. Right now I'm trying to track down an extended swinger and number plate. So for the rest of you post up your 84-85 Kawasaki Tecate's and let everyone know you own one.

    Here is my 1984. I wonder what the 86-87's would look like if they were red or the 85's for that matter.

    A red 86/86 would be pretty sweet with some blue rad fins and seat cover. I believe you could get red 85's.

    I just picked up a nice stock 85 a month or so ago. It has beat everything it has gone up against so far...(400ex, suzuki 400 quad, blaster, 85 R, 85 350x, Pilot...)

    New holeshots and an Uni filter is all that has been done to this trike.

    I'll post some pics if someone will resize them for me

    Anybody out there have a thumb throttle for the 85? I would like to replace the twisty for a thumb throttle on my trike.

    Here's a couple of my favorite pics of my 84 from a few years back. but sadly all I have left is a bare frame. When this was taken, it ran awesome and handled great with the 18" tires, westcoast swingarm and extended axle. Not the best looking it's every been. It was sure nice looking when it had aaakowalski's plastic on it!

    speaking of that, what did you do to that Tank!

    Is there any certain model Honda throttle that works best(i.e. 250R, 350x, 250sx...)

    Did you use the stock kaw cable, the Honda cable or some other cable?


    Thanks

    84 tecate

    Yep, Jeb, your tecate looked real nice. I still got your fenders and blue seat that I bought off you a long while back, which are on my 84 Tecate. They looked real nice. I painted the fenders green, to match my tank for some dumb reason. After I rolled it ice racing this winter, the fenders got a little cracked up, and a lot of the paint flaked off, which made me mad. O well, what can ya do? Anyways, the tecate is currently sitting in my shed, I blew the piston, broke a ring, and destroyed the cylinder walls. OUCH! Well, I hope to have it running in a few months here, after it gets a new topend. Sorry guys, no current pics at the moment. I'll get some when I get it looking good.
