Been building this for a while and thinking about it even longer. I picked up a busted Tecate on the way back from Waynoka 2 years ago so I could build my brother a bike for his birthday. I had another that sitting in the garage too. I basically took the pair and built him a good runner. After that I had a pretty clean roller that I had big dreams for. 2 years later and a few different engine cradle designs, I have this.. Red 85 Tecate with a highly built KX500 engine. I am running a +2 WestCoast swingarm. I didn't want a long bike. My R is +6 with inverts and has basically become my dune only bike.. Anyways here is my bike...
Basically what I started with..

I'll just get to it. A few years down the road. Next gen KX motor built. New cradle and all cleaned up...
