well i went and did it found a 86 Tecate been watching it for a few years just deterioratnig away.. ive seen this bike run in the past been a few years just been sitting since... he wanted 200 settled on 155.... and now she sits on trailer at my friend jims place havent brought it home yet.. It needs a ton of tlc but ill start on it late this spring and bring it back to its former glory... im going to bring it home and get it to start before i start tearing it apart needs plug and boot as well as a carb cleaning and som fresh mix ... it fires but plug is way old fuel fowl.. and the boot just sits on it and is cracked.. i may throw a keihin off of my trx 250r on it just to get it fired up the throttle cable and twist throttle on there now is jacked up... Does anyone know if the cable and twist throttle for the trx250r and keihin 34mm will work on there with the mikuni... i have two extra setups... anyhow heres the only pic i have so far

its got good rubber.. and you wanted new plastics anyways.. right? looks like a good start to me. I've paid more for much less.

It is rough for sure but it has good tires and wheels allthough the rears are 9" wheels ? Also has good and complete airbox w lid as well as a nice seatpan.... Ill bring it home and get it running before I start complete teardown.. Plan on starting this project this upcoming summer after I get the 200x snd my 250r where I want them
