I have been working on this trike for the last 2 years and I am finally close to completion. This one is my pride and joy.
I have been waiting to buy a new mikuni 34mm carb for it for a while and had the opportunity to borrow a stock unit from another tecate. It starts and runs but fouls plugs every 3 starts and cant keep it running - smokes up the neighborhood. Way too rich, so i am working on that now - the dreaded jetting detail.
Well since last post of this tecate a few updates were done. A newly rebuilt and powdercoated blue rear shock was installed - thanks to SBLT500R for rebuilding this one - it feels great...... The rear swinger was sanded and polished to a shiny finish. Other than that I spent a lot of time getting the motor lined up and tight with the appropriate bolts. I also installed a complete Bills exhaust i had stashed away. It sounds much better.
I also obtained a Tecate toolbox that i will be getting a custom billet mount for. The box cannot be mounted without the original grab bar.
Last Items Planned:
A few more items are needed. Plan on a big PRM desert grab bar to offset the large rear fenders. Mount the toolbox and purchase a new chain and blue rollers. Thats it and its done. I also think it needs a bolt kit for the engine - i keep the engine original but now i want more bling....Oh and it needs new rims and tires of course but i will keep these for a complete original set. Most likey will be putting duro H245s on there for a race look.
I want to run it a little bit and then will be put away in storage with my ATC250R. Next is the 85 Tri-z needs a fitted topend and it will be complete as well. Last is the 87 200x which needs some sand blasting on the cylinder and a topend installed. Then my collection is complete - no more trikes for me......... we'll see.
Here's some pics. Enjoy....
