84/85 frame to be exact.
Cochran and myself are having Mike build us a couple of aluminium gas tanks for our Tecates and for a detailed fit, Mike (HRE) needs to have a frame to use for fitment (a seat + tripple trees would be a huge plus)
He ain't looking to buy one, just to borrow it OR a whole Tecate if you are some what near Middletown, Pa. 17057.

I am willing to help with fuel or offer up a part or two of our replacement parts we make.

Thanks in advance guys,,, let me know !

John, I have a bare frame, shipping might be a killer though.

Howdy,
Could you check on shipping? I might have him do some other things with it as well. Also got the decals in the mail the other day. Thanks man!

I can try to figure out shipping tomorrow. Gotta get a weight and size to calculate.

I do have a frame in my basement, no triples or seat. I'm outside Philly probably a few hours from Harrisburg. Not sure how I'd get it there though. I don't trust my van enough to go that far, besides at 10 mpg it's not too economical. Don't think the wife would be too happy if I tried to stuff it into the CTS either.

Oldskool,
Tanks are finished but need to go back to Mike. There were some fitting issues that he is fixing. He had a stock tank to go off of but would feel better if there was a frame involved to see where the triples are. Great guy and an incredible fabricator. John or I will post pictures of the final products once we get them.
