    Talking Progress pics of the Tecate T3 Un-Conversion---

    Well as some of you know I decided after riding my buddy's atc250r alot last dune trip, (and with a little coaxing from board members) to unconvert my T3 quad conversion and release the beast underneath!

    So about 10 sawzall blades later, a little grinding and priming, parts sourced from various places in the country, (thanks to those who helped me), and of course time, here she is so far:
    Hope you like it, I rode it for awhile up and down the driveway today, and all I can say is holy crap!! That front end is light now!!!

    If anyone has any feedback or suggestions I want to hear em! Thanks

    Looks awsome! Thats one of the better T3's on the boards IMO. Love the rear tire choice too! Whats the name on them? I know I've got one like them, Carlise or Duro I know it.

    That turned into a really nice redo of the conversion. How does it run? Strong? Roost away! Chris

    I actually liked it with the conversion on it. Woul help harness the wicked powerband that the 84-85 T-3. Mine is freakin crazy, can't imagine that one with all the mods.

    Nice work, looks real good!!!!!
    Wikipedia "All Terrain Vehicle" Definition excerpt
    Other smaller or lesser known companies, such as Tiger ATV, Franks, and Cagiva, produced racing three wheelers, but in much smaller numbers. Few of these machines are known to exist today and are highly sought by collectors.

    Awesome! Love the very rare cal-fab swingarm. Fyi if your frame doesnt hold up 84-85 frames are usually dime a dozen.

    Thanks guys for all the reply's!

    I'm really stoked with how it's coming along, I was in need of a fun project and although the parts are somewhat hard to come by, they're not impossible to find.

    Like you said the rears are Carlise BGM.
    And lean is the word Chris, I was shocked at how much body english these trikes require, But its a great workout!!!

    Do you guys think I should put up the front end for sale on ebay? I don't really expect to make much $ on it but someone may want it right?
