Travel North on 81 and a bit NW of Syracuse to Oswego.... MIK6 has anything and everything Tecate. I sent you pm's a few weeks ago about the HONDA swingarms... you want to borrow them? 82R, 83-84R, 83200X, 84-85 200X, and 350X swingers... what's the latest and greatest???

If Mik6 haS a UFO vented plate he aint tellin no one. He does have a swingarm but we havnt met up yet. I may buy a complete ass end to send the company so they can have a complete unit and hopefully they can better all of it. The person I talked to told me that he has had 250R owners and Tri Z owners ask about swingers. He says he can only work with round axle carrier swingers which I believe all 250cc are? I just put it to him in a way that made him realize that "IF" he does this he will be about the only one to supply Swingers for three wheelers. And anyway he makes Blaster and Banshee swingers, Just like 200 othe companies. Someday someone with a little money tools and skills will start making parts for three wheelers. Just think Muscle Cars, if people didnt start making parts for them 10-15 years ago all them sweet muscle cars would be in the Boneyard. Its a big business now, I would like to see the same thing happen for Three Wheelers.

O yea the Carbon Fiber Supplies I get from my friend who orders it for makin engine covers for Sport Compact Cars. I can hit him up but he said I could allso find it on the Net. That shiot looks so cool and is real Tough.

I would love to buy that # play PM me if you want to sell it. I then would have a peferct piece to copy from. And that would look sweet on my Tecate. As for the swingarms, when I find out if this Company wants to build swingers for thre wheelers I will let you know. As of now Just the 84-85 Tecate will be sent in.

**Dammit!** · 02-20-2005, 03:05 AM

I'm not a huge fan of the 84-85 Tecates but that is one SWEET trike you got there meatbox.

**Meat-BoX** · 02-20-2005, 03:11 AM

Thx but dont you think it would look better with that UFO vented Plate on it

I will be making Vented Carbon Fiber Air Box Lids and hopefilly a Vented Number Plate for the Tecate allso. I might even make Tecate Airboxes that may be Vented in safe

locations from dirt.

**Dammit!** · 02-20-2005, 03:17 AM

I like the way it looks now but I'm sure it wouldn't hurt. Check it out, I used to have a red one on my 200x. If I had known how sought after a lot of this stuff would eventually become I would have done a lot more collecting back then.

**Meat-BoX** · 02-20-2005, 04:46 PM

Shoot thats an old Pic. It got a Hi-Flite Flame seat cover and a DG system on there now.

The stickers on the Tank are original but I wish they were gone. I have all the stickers from the Aftermarket Parts and vinyl flames with ghost skulls in them that match my color sceme but I like the Clean Look I guess.

**TrikerR** · 02-21-2005, 07:34 AM

hay dammit...if any of us hadda known how rare race trike parts would become dont you think we would all have a garages full of the stuff

Those 2 pics above of the Tecate with the JWR plate are pretty good, but it looks like that plate sadly has been cut-on so that it fits with the stock radiator guard. I guess that person didn't realize you chunk the radiator guard and replace it with the number plate. There should be flanges on the side of the plate that come out and cover the fork tubes.

Go find the pics of ange's red KXT. It has the JWR plate.

**BigGreenMachine** · 02-21-2005, 02:05 PM

Mine, 50 bucks from the .org board. Just dumb luck that I found one.

Some new plastic mesh, rivets and numbers cut from a road sign(found it on the side of the road lol) make it look like new.
