    Anyone here take a basket case and make it showroom?

    With pics, of course! Just wondering if anyone had pics of before and after trikes they did. I need a little encouragement!

    Here's a few I've done in the past.
    The 250R wa straded for a tap and die set. It was in boxes and zip lock bags when I got it. Thought I'd never get it done the way I wanted. After several setbacks and a little coin it all cam together.

    This is the wifes 200X (racerX) that was bought for $160.00 on Ebay years back. It was a backyard waste of a machine. Parts robbed from it and such. It has also gone thorugh some extensive work. It is now back under the knife for a newer version.

    Tecates take forever


    Got to love those Tecates. Hard to find good parts, and takes alot of dedication.
    Heres what I went through. From Basket to beauty
    Need that D.C. plastics Tank shell. Damn Tecate tanks are impossible to find good ones. Got dark over the last few years.
