    I bought an 85? I believe KX500 tank off ebay a while back and test fitted it to my 85 Tecate and its all wrong for the bike. It rubs the pipe, petcock gets in the way as well because its on the Tecates pipe side and the rad shrouds would need to be trimmed to not hit the handle bars at full lock.

    *Edit* The guy you saw do this was Tecate4Life I would imagine, he used a Kx250 tank and custom made shrouds.

    What KX parts did you get? You can use the KX reed cage in your bike.

    Theres always a way to do it. Best bet would be to get the Tecate tripples bored out to fit the KX forks.
