interested in your T-3. I have noticed that it had the radiator re-located. can you post some pics of the set up?? and what it takes to do it?? Ours is red, too, so the shroud might be hard to come by. Lets hear about it, never seen one before.

I sold that Tecate. I'll check and see if I have any pics of it. I emailed the guy I sold it to, hopefully he will send some pics back, he totally went thru that bike I guess, he just finished it and took it out and cracked the DG exhaust on the first ride. Good Vibrations! I just went thru my albums and could'nt find any closeups of the radator setup, I remember it not being to difficult. a should from a old dirtbike would work fine. I email you if he gets back to me.

Heres a couple pics he sent me of my old tecate, I'm going to restore one this winter if I can afford to get my motor rebuilt. it has a few new upgrades like the '85 disk brake front end, 39mm PWK keihin carb, K&N air filter, and a 5" over rear swing arm with a banshee rear shock. The guy owns SMI Motorsports in Oregon City real nice guy, I liked the red machine though. I emailed him back asking if he still had the brackets for the radiator.

Yeah thats the red one, If I'd know he was going to do a total tear down and rebuild I would have sold him my other bike. he rebuilt the motor and stripped everything on the bike, heck it ran fine and rode nice when I sold it to him.

What rear fenders are those? Are those the low profiles?

I think so.... Everyone seems to say they look like crap...
screw that, those look pretty damn good. They look like they even have a spot for the OE rear sticker on them...
I've seen them listed for $90 somewhere.

I am wondering if the ones that rec unlimited has are the shiny version or the dull?
the ones I listed should be the new shiny ones. In thier "clearance" section they have the old dull ones listed.
Just ask when you call which one it is..
Yes those are the Maier low profiles. I don't like the looks compared to the stock fender. but what other choices have you? None except beat, used factory fenders.

Please give us some more info...(shop name/location and phone #)
As others have said, the rears should have been discontinued.

the only place I have found new oem on the early tecates is my local dealer. I'd say about 80% of parts are still available...infact the only part that I have ordered thus far and not been able to get is a red rear fender, but then again I have not tried to order every part yet :D once again if you have a line on some oem red fenders let us know, heck you can even put me down for two. later---Joe 8)

I get my parts from 1-877-797-2453(One of the ads from the back of dirtwheels,there is another one that says discounted prices that is a bit pricier then this place), all the prices are 30% off, I've ordered from them 3 times, and have never had any problems, or discontinued parts (yet)...

Most parts you can still get. Tecates share allot with various years of KX. We should be able to keep them running good for years. It's the body work you most likely cant get. They may say they can get rear fenders, but I bet they never come in.
A trick I learned a few years ago: Look up the part numbers your self and then call and order by the number. I found I could say I need so and so part for a Tecate threewheeler and most dealers would say that you can't get parts for them anymore. give them just the number, they pull it up, and say how many you need? :-D
