Not a Cannondale, but I'll share anyway.
My son decided he wants to race this year so I have to get him a quad together. He will be 15 this month, not old enough to race his 400ex but he can race the Schoolboy class that they started last year. Haydug and I where talking about building him a 300ex, but when I checked the rules, they have changed and now allow liquid cooled quads as long as they are production based. I've allready got a Mojave that is half way ready to race, and he rode it alot and is comfortable on it.
Right now it has +3 Burgard arms with Elka's, +4 Durablue axle, converted Cannondale fox rear shock, nerfs, skids, tags. and a Big Gun full exhaust.
So today I dropped the motor and will be taking it up to CWR in PA, he specializes in Mojaves and has some great stuff for them. I'll be getting a 300cc big bore kit, port & polished head, titanium valve springs, oversized valves, cams, hardened rockerarms, heavy clutch springs, and a KLR ignition box. Probably also getting a +2 chromoly swingarm from CWR.
This guys flat tracks his Mojave and says it was dyno'd at 51 hp at the wheels, the motor he's building for me is supposed to put out 40 hp or very close to it:)
I'll post some pics later, we've almost got it down to the frame, which I'll be taking to the powdercoaters.
Another rebuild project
Sounds like the airbox on the Tecate is similar to the Mojave. I ran an Ohlins when I was running it without the airbox, but the rezzie won't fit with the airbox on.
The shocks are the same length, I just got some spacers cut to fill the gap. I sent the shock to Jeff@Quadshop and he revalved and changed the springs. I think it's still a little stiff, so I may end up sending it back for another try.

Picked up the motor last night, Haydug got me a KLR black box last week, picking up the frame and hubs at the powdercoater Monday, now just waiting on the swingarm.
I also got a new rear Elka from Jeff@Quadshop, so CDrookie if your interested in the fox I had on their PM me. It was revalved and resprung for the Mojave so it would probably work pretty good on your Tecate.

powdercoating
Powdercoater left a message yesterday that my stuff was done and they'd be in the shop today. Picked it up this afternoon, came out great.
The color is Blue Mirage, the pics don't do it justice as it's full of multicolor metalflake.
