Yeah, the stock Kawi pattern is just too big for anything smaller than a 10" rim. I have a set of DG hubs that fit a Kawi but have a Honda bolt pattern. I think that the 1986's have a different spline than the earlier ones though. The studs do go all the way through but its not usually a problem. You can put a little Slime in if you'd like some insurance. I have Fast Trekkers on the back of my Kawi and a studded stocker on the front.

So it looks like im running 20" tires I guess Hell I have no clue what the heck im running. I just need a set of tires fast before my money disappears. Pick me a good set up and I will go with that. You have the experience. Are the 84 Tecate hubs a 4x110mm pattern for 8" rims Which is a Honda setup? I see some for $1 If so I may do that. I need to get lower to the ice.

20's are fine hell im running 22's 10'rim down a tooth on the front.. Do you have any spair tires? what size is the front rim on that?

[Meat-BoX]

According to the Manual it says the front Tire is 22x11x10 so I guess its a 10" rim up front?
I need this get this project done before its too late. I want to race in circles in sub zero temperture with other fast tripods.

[JohnR.]

I'm sorry, I left out the fact that I am running 18" Trekkers on 10" rims in the back. The front on my '86 is an 11" rim but your older one might be different. Honestly, if you've got a fairly worn front that holds air then you should be good for the front. Order a bag of 1000 1" ice screws and you'll be good to go.

1000 screws may take me untill summer to get planted into my tires. Well that sucks. I had a new, Turf Tamer? that was just for my Tecate build, but I brought it to T.F. 06 and gave it to Howdy. Guess I can get 2 more of those. They look like a good Ice tire. I get the Titan Turf Tamer and Titan Fast Trekkers mixed up. Even though I got one set on my Tecate.
Well I spent the money on the 200X and shes all done for now. New Plastics and Sticker kit. If I have any money left over I would love an 86 seat cover from Cosmic Quads as Mr. and Mrs. Moshman kick ass and do sweet work.
Ahhhh the look of a nice clean 86 200X under my tree makes me all warm inside. You will see that baby tooling around on the Ice this year for sure. She just always seems to start right up and run strong all day.
Maybe some of you can ride her and tell me what you think is wrong with the front end. It pulls hard to the right. Makes me tired but I guess if I race in that direction I may be able to do it with no hands

[JohnR.]

It doesn't take that long to do them, you use a cordless drill with a 1/4" socket bit on it. Turf Tamers aren't really the ideal tire for studding unless they are worn enough that the dimples are gone and even then, they are kind of soft and tend to spit studs out easily.

It will only take a few hours do do a 1000 studs

I just ordered this baby so I can slow down and let you all catch up Or let you all pass me safely.

I also got the right side gasket for the new Clutch set up ive been tracking down for a few years. Man I wish I could find a NOS clutch basket to make it 100% new.
Just waiting on a set of X-Systems rear bushings for the Cal-Fab then I need to figure out what I will do with the rear shock. I have an 01 Raptor shock mounted upside down The line to the bottle is way too short and the bracket on the frame is broke so I may go to a 300ex shock? Anyone know which year and shock is the one from the honda 300ex? It has no bottle so Im wondering if its any good for my Trike.
The Meaty One is getting down and serious about this Ice racing season. I will be there and hope my Tecate doesnt rattle apart after the 1st few laps.
Then its off to Trike Fest as I will have the summer off I think. I hope not, but I want to do T.F. again. It was the best week ive had in years.
Oh yea any Idea on a front tire for my Tecate? Maybe a stock type dunlop or a decent used one from here? Help a brother out. Too much coffee, to many parts coming, to damn excited. I love this place.
Got all goodies for the 200x, we might see her on the ice also, looking all new and sexy

Hey guys...can we get an update on lake conditions?

GWL is frozen in NJ, but not safe yet. However, it's supposed to be 50 degrees later this week which will kill that.

I am almost ready to go. I have some final things to button up on my racer and am just waiting for a couple more parts. I have to swap out the top end on my 85R, but I have all of the parts so I am almost ready to go.

You just gave a 100% accurate one from a couple hundred miles away.

I drove up the west shore today on my way home and the lake is frozen over from the south end up to Sportsman's Marina. I didn't go an poke around at it but I guess its not as safe as it looks.

I spoke with Keith today....

I'm not that good!

I'm going west this year if the lake sucks...

[JohnR.]

Forget the lake. What about SILVER LAKE PT. III this summer?

I'm down. Lets make the reservations so we actually go again.
