Some rust prevention and service.

heres my 86, waiting for its day in the sun.
Bought it rode it twice in a parking lot with paddles on it, made sure everything worked, then had to put it in storage because I moved into
a new shop, but now this pesky tiger im workin on stole its spot.
Has an LA Sleeve 300 kit, ported, PWK, some unknown pipe and silencer
and a +6 swingarm.
Oh boy, I've got a good number of mine and other peoples T3's I can post. Here are 3 of mine. Hoping to return my pile of parts to this form sooner or later, with a KX500 in it of course.

Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "HOLY SH-T, what a ride!"
Not mine, but by far the nicest 1st gen I have ever seen

BigGreenMachine: Is that disk guard on your Tecate made for the tecate? Or were you able to find something close and fab it up? I would really like to find one of those for my 85. My 84 has a Maier one.

LOL Not so top secret anymore! Nice how the swingarm just bolts to those frames, with the addition of the linkage mounts of course.
Nice!

What year is that? 87-88 KX 500? What year swinger bolts up to it? How hard was it to get the trees and forks on the frame?
Wow!!
How do you guys like those Hi-Flite seats with the longer pad on to the tank?

In the pic it's an 88 kx250 not a kx500 but is still quite a bear to deal with when you get on the pipe. 86 kxt trees and forks bolt right on with very little modding. I used a 1st get t3 swinger and axle. had to make a custom shock mount but like BGM said sprockets and piviot bolt right on and line up.
Hi-flite seats rock btw.
