86/87 Tecate project Finished!

[ScottZJ]

Well as most probably know I was building a tecate from ground up with a bunch of junk parts. Well thru adding more gray hair and less money in the bank account, I have been able to complete what I sought out to do. Well I am going to tear into the bottom end to replace the shifter shaft (next weekend) but other than brakes, I believe its ready to hit the trails. I have the key switch but havent made a bracket on the headlight frame (as I got an 86 frame from brapp) and the ebrake parts were removed since not all there. Its not a show queen or a trailer looker but I think she turned out better than I expected and cant wait to roost some trails with her. I just got the DG back from being blasted and ceramic coated black. It was ugly and I like the black look (not into the bling bling). Well anyway, this task is pretty much done, so now time to start on another haha.

[i58829]

That thing looks great, very nice job. Can't wait to get the ride report..

[JohnR.]

That looks awesome. I LOVE those rims you've got on the back. Can you give me some more info on them?

[ScottZJ]

I bought them off egay for a steal of 109$ shipped rims and tires. But for some odd reason the seller is no longer registered. He had tons of sets selling on there with BIN and bidding.
They are ITP C series Wheels and 20" Predator XCR-03 Holeshot tires.

[JohnR.]

WOW! That is a crackhead deal! I've got a set of 18" Holeshots for 10" rims lying in the shed that I'm going to put on the stock wheels for now but I'd like to get a set up like you've got on the back.

John

[Hoosier_Daddy]

Looks great.

Hey John... The single side bead locks i run my 20s on are a factory Polaris part! Think I got both shipped for $95. Predators used then as an option, the dealers send them CHEAP!!

nice job scott. i like the looks of a black pipe as well, instead of blingy ones.

[Orangecnty250r]

Nice Job!!!

[250rulzes]

Awesome job Scott, that thing is 2 sweet! It nice to see a sweet 2nd gen T3 rider...That ex spring has to be kawasaki-ized, (painted or pc’ed) IMO. I'll send you a nice new Black shock cover for it!!! Better dead than RED!
Kudos to a sweet build!

[3or4wheels]

Hey nice build,what make of front tire is that and whats the size?

[whiteR]

can you give me any info on the the front rim if its stock or not, also what kind of tire is that and size

[ScottZJ]

The front tire is a Kenda Pathfinder 23x8x11 that I bought from Rockymountain ATV for 49$ that usually goes on a YZF 450 quad.
The rim is a 350x stock rim and fits perfect with no mods. You just need to have the tapered lugs for it to work.

Thanks for all the replies, I think I will be happy with this trike for a long time. And cant wait to finally have a tecate I can ride and not afraid of messing it up.

A few pics of the tecate with the R.

[oldtime3wheeler]

That is a very nice Tecate you built

[tmecars]

Hey ScottZJ
what type of rear shock is that?

Very nice Tecate by the way. I hope mine comes out as nice.

T

[ScottZJ]

That is the 300ex shock that most have spoken about. Its much better than the OEM stock tecate shock and works great!

[tmecars]

Thanks, Man. I think I'll try one. They cant be too expensive.

[The Goat]

tecates are trike porn...

[The big 3]

nice job, looks good

[ScottZJ]

She's ALIVE! She's ALIVE!!

Well Special thanks to 200xbasket! For the bottom end help, my tecate is officially completed and running! Now I am sure I will tinker on stuff but she is a ride now! Thanks Chris! :beer :w00t: :w00t: :w00t: :acr

[JohnR.]

Congrats! I can't wait until the last few parts I need are delivered. Then I just need to rebuild the rear shock and it'll be ready to ride.

John

[ScottZJ]

Well put a new petcock on it and seemed to be working good. I bought some heat tape to put areas where tank bra is close or plastics so it doesnt burn it. I drove it around the block and seems to be working great. I am very happy. Need to hit some offroad riding to tweek some stuff.
