some pics of my newly painted grill, tank and front fender. can't wait till the oem rear is finished. let me know what you think

I think it looks cool and I think I like that swingarm. Problem is, paint doesn't last long on a plastic tank or fenders for that matter. Unless you are using automotive paint and the plastic was prepped on those fenders it will only look sweet temporarily. Nice color scheme though, looks to be a pretty sweet KXT now you need a number plate.

Oh yeah, DAAAAAYUM that's a huge Front Max!

this paint will last, theres over 300 bucks in material on the tank and fenders

Looks great! I think I might be doing an 85 tecate project once the 87 tecate is finished. Thumbs up bra!

Well then, you definitely get the NINJA nod of approval. Awesome trike!

looks great 2quicktecate! what brand of paint did you use?

**dcreel** · 02-21-2009, 09:21 PM

It definitely does look great. The only thing that throws it off for me is the champion swingarm. I just don't like the looks of them.

i don't care for it either, but my stock one was cracked and found this on ebay for cheap. can't wait to get the oem rear with that paint done. not sure of the paint brand but it's got dp30 primer, and my buddies has a trick to prep the plastic and repair cracks and missing pieces but it's not cheap.

about it. 22x11x10 baby... handles like a cadillac.

no matter what kind of prep work went into the tank you might wanna think about lining it. redcote that thing before dumping any gas into it, or that money will be money well wasted, give it a few tanks and the paint will just peel. trust me, been there, done that. now both my t3 tanks are lined and havent had any problems with paint or decals sticking. looks good man, two thumbs up.

thanks for the advice... having my parts painted didn't cost me anything. just did some work on my buddies trike motor. where do i find redcote

**NINJA** · 02-22-2009, 01:48 AM

I would keep that swingarm on it. It looks awesome and it's rare and unique.

**2quicktecate** · 02-22-2009, 02:25 AM

i want a westy or franks, but the champ will work for now
