    Latest T-3 project almost finished!

    Here is my latest project. I have just a few things to do to finish it up. Fork boots, headlight sticker, lighting coil, and a few other minor details. I got the decals from jared and the shrouds are the ones that I reproduce. I cant wait to take it to the dunes. I dont have the coolant bottle on it because it is pretty close to the pipe and I dont want to take a chance of melting it. I do have one for it though and it is in gret shape. I am also considering taking off the brake, and chain guards because they are in mint shape also.

    Yes I reproduce the headlight shroud and radiator shrouds. I had molds made from my replicas so that they would look just like the originals>

    Looks great!! You are right those coolant bottles do melt up easy and those chain and disc guards are very hard to come by ---dont damage them. Does anyone still make aftermarket swingarm skid plates for the late generation T3 . I remember seeing TRIZTUNES win one a while back but I dont remember the brand it was. I think it was blue. The shrouds and headlight cover are very nice I bought some.

    Thumbs up I've seen the shrouds....NICE!

    I got a good look at your repro shrouds on Yardbird's '86 T-3.
    They look great.
    You do a fantastic job on them!

    AND...WHAT a SWEET T-3 you have!!
    Great job!
    I'd love to have one of those bad boys parked next to my '86 250R and '85 Tri-Z.
