Tecate Extended Axels

[Tecate250]

Come on ladies and gentlemen. Post up those sweet axels. Havent seen on yet on here. Still trying to figure who made mine.

[techmaster330]

Well I'm curious too, lets see yours.

[HondaHarry]

heres one on an 85 Tecate I drug home a while back.
dont know what it is either, Finishline most likely.
Stock axle from an 84 for comparison. HH

[Dustin87R]

That's definitely a finish line, the durablues had two lock nuts like the stock axle.

[Tecate250]

Sweet That is just like mine. Can you take some pics of the special locking nut assembly? Same axel just on my parts frankenstein bike.

You'll for sure want special nuts if you add 5 inches .... uh, wait - that didn't sound right! :lol:

[Tecate250]

Oh I have special nuts. Big ol one. You have to have special nuts to ride a tecate.

Just measure the thread pitch and diameter and have them made at a local machine shop. Should be a cake walk.

[Tecate250]

Id like to see what the set up looks like. If I do get something made id like to know what it is im making.

[Tecate250]

Does someone have a close up pic of that nut/s? I would really appricite it.

[Tecate250]

Come on. Dcreel have any close up pics of yours?

[dcreel]

Come on. Dcreel have any close up pics of yours?

Mine just uses two regular nuts

[Tecate250]

Why do they look far apart?

[dcreel]

Why do they look far apart?

The outside nut was loose when I got it. :D

[3Razors]

Extended durablue on a 86

[dcreel]

Nice bike 3 razors.. got any more pictures.. :w00t:

[Tecate250]

Still need a close up.

[Enigma]

Hey all its been a long time since I have been on, (last log on 01-2009) here is my Bro's 85 with an extended axle next to my 86 with a stock axle. I have no clue as to the brand, and if I remember correctly we had the hub extenders on it too. We ended up taking the hub extenders off because we didn't want to bend the axle.

[Tecate250]

Welcome back. Nice green toys. Too bad your axel looks like a Dura Blue with 2 nuts. I want to put my longer axel on so bad. My +2 Franks swing arm brought the look of the bike to life. Now just need the axel.

[dcreel]

There is one on Ebay right now with the 1 large axle nut.

[Tecate250]

Hmm I thought the dural Blue axels were 2 nut? Thanks for the pic dcreel

[alex]

where do i find those radiator shrouds i have none and just bought a 86 runs but isnt pretty yet yours looks great hope mine will look that good.....

[Tecate250]

Kind of off topic.

[Tecate250]

Any news on this? I have the axel instaled but still dont know how this set up works. I have looked at the posi lock of the hondas.

[Tecate250]

No one has this axel?

[HondaHarry]

Hope these help. I think the little hole is for a safety wire. HH

[HondaHarry]

oops. one more. (guess I posted a similar pic on page one. sorry) I totally forgot about this thread. should have made time to get them up much sooner. HH

[rasorroad250r]

Finishline axles came with 2 nuts according to my research. durables came with two and had on option for a single nut with a set screw. I have an old durablue for a Kawasaki mojave and it has one nut.

[Tecate250]

Hey harry you dont have a pic of it all apart do you?

[Tecate250]

Fianaly some one has the same axel. Do you know what kind of axel it is? I have 2 pieces. The large nut and what lookes like a threaded collar but cannot get it out.

Other then the cir clip this is what I have. Anyone tell me why there is adifferent spline on the axel?

[Tecate250]

Honda Harry. Did you get those pics?

[Tecate250]

Anything new here? may not be getting rid of the tecate now. Id still like to mount this bad boy on er.

[DixiePlowboy]

I'll take a stab at this, even though I no longer have a Tecate in front of me.....hope I understand what you're asking.

The threaded collar inside the large nut must be able to thread back and forth inside the nut. Otherwise, you can't turn the nut.....thereby moving the collar out an putting pressure on the circlip in the groove of the axle. Once you get the threaded collar moving inside the nut, run the collar back inside the nut toward the brake hub, put the circlip on the axle, then tighten the large nut(inside collar moving out toward the clip. Tighten to your liking.

[Tecate250]

But my collar seems to have no way of keeping it tight like a key way or lock bolt.

[JohnR.]

I'm gonna throw this out there. Maybe that collar/nut you have isn't for the axle you have? They are pretty old parts, maybe they just ended up laying around with the axle by accident. One other thought I had was that maybe that axle would work with the Honda style set up? The splines look too coarse but its hard to tell from a picture.

[Tecate250]

Well it seems to fit just like honda harrys.

[JohnR.]

OK. It was just a thought.

[scottyms]

if your axle is the same as mine and the pics i sent you then im 99% its a dura-blue....

[Tecate250]

:Bounce Finally got what I needed. Big thanks to scottyms for these pics.

So niow I know what I have just need to get the collar out of mine. Any ideas? So what about the odd spline on the axel?:naughty:

[JohnR.]

Lots of heat.

[Tecate250]

Yeah! I was thinking of using my wood stove to heat it up and throw it in the snow.I was loooking at durablue.com and it seems they dont make one like it "anymore" No one else has pictures of tecate extended axels? If this was a honda topic it would be flooded.

[tecat-z]

I have 2 Dura Blue +6 axles for first get Tecate, and they utilize all oem hardware for simplicity. I've never seen anything so simple made into sometimng so complex. Why would any company do something like that? Dura Blues i've seen, owned, or friends have had over many years, (3 or 4 wheels) have always fit exactly like oem. But, other companies like G-force for example, have taken a simple Banshee-Tri-z axle and made it into something similar to yours. I bought one a while back from Rocky Mountain and hated the change, and promptly sent it back! I prefer simple, but effective.....

[Tecate250]

Yeah I know the feeling Tecat-z. I dont know why they made there axels like that. Even the oem ones are weird. But it dosent look like Honda Harrys nut.
