Progress pics of the Tecate T3 Un-Conversion---

[FrankenWheeler]

Well as some of you know I decided after riding my buddy's atc250r alot last dune trip, (and with a little coaxing from board members) to unconvert my T3 quad conversion and release the beast underneath! :twisted:

So about 10 sawzall blades later, a little grinding and priming, parts sourced from various places in the country, (thanks to those who helped me), and of course time, here she is so far:
Hope you like it, I rode it for awhile up and down the driveway today, and all I can say is holy crap!! That front end is light now!!!:D

If anyone has any feedback or suggestions I want to hear em! Thanks :w00t:

Looks awsome! Thats one of the better T3's on the boards IMO. Love the rear tire choice too! Whats the name on them? I know I've got one like them, Carlise or Duro I know it.

That thing is sick! Nice conversion! It's still gonna eat my dust :naughty:

[Yamada]

Great. Go on a quad forum and post these pictures. The guys that will see this beast would want to kill themself. Hahaha

[traxxasx]

guys^^^^^ This was originaly a t3 but somone put a conversion kit on.. he just transformed it back into a t3. Or shall i say sawsazled it back!

[ccdhowell]

That turned into a really nice redo of the conversion. How does it run? Strong? Roost away! Chris

[maggiesboy]

nice work, way to save another third wooler :D

I actually liked it with the conversion on it. Woul help harness the wicked powerband that the 84-85 T-3. Mine is freakin crazy, can't imagine that one with all the mods.

Now your gonna have to lean! :naughty: :w00t: :beer

Nice work, looks real good!!!!!

[3Razors]

Awesome! Love the very rare cal-fab swingarm. Fyi if your frame doesnt hold up 84-85 frames are usually dime a dozen.

[ATC-Eric]

Very nice. It looks great!!!!!

[FrankenWheeler]

Thanks guys for all the reply's!

I'm really stoked with how it's coming along, I was in need of a fun project and although the parts are somewhat hard to come by, they're not impossible to find.

Like you said the rears are Carlise BGM. :)
And lean is the word Chris, I was shocked at how much body english these trikes require, But its a great workout!!!

Do you guys think I should put up the front end for sale on ebay? I don't really expect to make much $ on it but someone may want it right?

That Cal-Fab swingarms looks like crap! I think you need a stocker on there and send the Cal-Fab to me...:lol:

[ColeTrickle]

Awesome work Frankenwheeler! Please don't sell the front end, if you do some quad goon might kill another trike! :wondering

[oldskool83]

what kinda of front end was on it anyway? a conversion kit of some homegrown kit from another atv?

[FrankenWheeler]

One of the other members said it may be an astro kit...It looked we'll made whatever it was.

Fire, did you ever find a Tecate?
This thing is gonna roost you, hehe. After all the P.O. named it the "Rooster" :)

Nah I passed on the Tecate. Because I found a 250R that was just as cheap, with a BigBore kit and MANY goodies! :naughty:

We need to head out. Go head to head, have some fun.
