OK, waiting for my white plastics to arrive, I had a brain storm...

The whole Tecate will be torn down and rebuilt from the ground up into a drag trike, but here is the basic Red White & Blue color scheme...

Blue bars with White stars and a Red pinstripe will be added to the fenders and she'll wear the "Spirit of '76" on the number plate as well as a blue frame and polished motor... suggestions, complaints and ideas welcome...

Two thumbs way up! I'm jealous I didn't think of that. Don't be surprised if I copy that a few years down the road. I won't have the money for white plastics any time soon, but I already have the red tank. Looks great man.

I love it. We did an EK Mini bike last year :) In fact guess who my son is going as for Halloween.
We have a vinyl cutter for our business so it makes my life easier when I get these ideas lol. You defiantly need the big #1 on it some where. We went with metal flake stars and stripes.

1999 Husqvarna WR360 (Rider), 1986 Husqvarna XC400 (Project in waiting) & an 1983 Husqvarna XC500 (Project in progress) along with a ton of extra frames, motors and misc parts... if you need any early-mid 80's Husky 2-stroke parts there’s a good chance I've got it (except of course for consumables like pistons & plastics)
