    I have a ported/polished/sleaved cylinder that is off of a 83kx250(same cylinder design, but more radical porting) and the head was shaved. I have $500 into it and sold my tecate, so I have not need for it. want to buy it?

    Hey, atleast your not gonna give up riding. Ever think of making a nice tame riding sportbike with real soft suspension? With all the work your putting into the t3 (make it like a 2 stroke cadillac) I would stick with that unless your back truly cant handle it. Also, cool site for the shop.

    wow they're prices are pretty steep. Granted they probably do great work and the prices are for bikes but would it really cost like $400 for a trike frame to get powdercoated?

    why get a 4x4 QUAD!!!!! get a big red, since trailprotrailpro backs bad go for the 250 its got rear suspension. they have more than enough power to pull bucks out of the woods, as for your trip the big red can handle that too!!!!!! i mean cummon, a quad (well atleast u aint giving riding up altogether)

    The 12 year build

    The Cal Fab is on and its a week or two from being done. Have some issues but we shall prevail.

    Oh my, that Cal-Fab looks damn good all polished up on the rear of my Tecate.
    By the way the Frame is twisted a bit and been pounded out. Noticed some shotty welds also and dont have any Bottle mount setup as they are broke off the frame. 300EX rear shock here I come. Raptor shock with that bottle is a pain. So in other words this build isnt really done untill I get a real nice frame. And thats not happening anytime soon. Shes a real beast and with the right suspension and that extra 2" I will be really happy.
    I will get pics in the next week. Wrong brake line sent so that goes back, carb choke wont work and I hear the Mikuni VM 36 is the hot setup, need a chain and the damn water Pump top coolant part bolts stripped out the top end. Stressing that. Lots of little problems but its real close.
