'86 Tecate Aftermarket Swing Arm

[Maico]

Anybody know anything about this swing arm?? It came on 1 of the 2 parts chassis' I just picked up. Has a decal on it that says Champion. I assume this was the manufacturer??

[super90]

Yes apparently champion does/did make swingarms. On the .ORG site ( http://www.3wheeler.org/vb/showthread.php?t=20583 ) Someone is selling a "champion" swingarm off a tecate. I wouldnt mind having one for my x.

Not sure. I just got these parts chassis' along with a decent complete '86. Barn fresh so to speak. No really. They were in a barn! LOL! They need a car wash pressure wash so bad just to remove the crud. I'll do that tomorrow and take some measurements.

Yeah thats a champion brand. There were some posts here a while back, but evidently until just a year or two ago the guy that made those still had a stock of them but they are now gone.

I have one of the NEW ones on my Tecate. Bought it last year and its been well tested and looks used now.

That looks to be an 85 swingarm, are you sure the Tecate is an 86?

[BigGreenMachine]

Oh and I should add that I need the 86/87 aluminum swingarm if you have one to spare Maico. PM me if so.

[BigGreenMachine]

Just looked, that ORG thread is the swingarm I bought....

How much did you pay for the Trikes? Im asking because that swinger is worth a couple hundred bucks alone. You got a good score there. Any other After market parts?

Positive. Radiators are still on it along with the gas tank and BOTH radiator shrouds. Yes...the right side radiator shroud is still intact.

$3K for a really nice '86 runner and 2 parts machines. A huge plastic garbage can full of motors and parts. (I hope the "motors in a garbage can" is NOT an indicator of their condition...LOL!!). Some extra plastic,seats,pipes...all stock stuff. The hard 2 find parts are gone...like the airboxes,overflow bottles,right side radiator shrouds. The swinger will be going on the good '86.

[BigGreenMachine]

Cal-Fab, dig deep man you'll find it. They have to be around somewhere.

Maico, if that is in fact a Champion made for the 86/87 Tecate then you have the rarest swingarm on 3WW in my opinion.
