[erectordale]

that the cowl's for or shrouds for the radiators the hardest pc to find i can make them with the mold that i have

[MassTrike]

WOW!!! im speachless! you have got one sweet collection man! Good luck

[erectordale]

you look at the pile of parts and realize how bad you have that 3 wheel bug lotts of elbow grease to get these back to mint

[200x Basket]

looks good! :)

[Howdy]

I can store these for you!! What do a say Brother? lmao J/K Looks like I am going to have to take a drive soon. ;)
Howdy

[Orangecnty250r]

Alot of elbow grease yes but when its for rare bikes like these its even worth it more. The nice thing about the tigers is that they are simple beasts. I had two areas in my shop ---one for parts for the frame up tectate restore and one for the tiger restore. The Tiger doesnt have all that extraneous stuff. The pile of parts is much smaller to restore for the TIGER. Heres what I got done with the tiger yesterday.

[erectordale]

Looks great Orangecounty I'm hoping to have mine up and running soon have all the new bearings x3. have all motor parts ordered x5. have shrouds about ready for paint. have tanks almost ready for paint. next will make my mold for fenders and rear plastics I have the sheet plastic now just need to make molds with having my yamahauler down tranny noise. and working on my sons 200x soon , and helping get his zilla back up and running. it does not a lot of time left to work on tigers but I will have all three at trike fest just might be short plastic

[Billy Golightly]

That mold is for the radiator scoop? I had a guy email me saying he had a whole bunch of parts and some of the original molds. I asked for pictures and he said he would get some, never heard back from him...

[erectordale]

well this is not the origanal but is made from a part they come out perfect I would love to find the guy that e-mailed you . wow origanal parts that would be soo great save me tons of time

[200xalltheway]

Some parts that were not made in house by tiger you can get from the companies that made them 20 years ago. Brakes, forks, rotax engine parts, bearings (see the tiger page to see exactly which companies made what) . The other stuff you need to find from another tiger or have fabricated/copied/machined/ or molded from an existing tiger!!! Luckily everything on mine is original except a front caliper mount which I am having copied and machined from an existing tiger and the front axle. Thats only a bolt.

[erectordale]

200xalltheway I live in bristol or middlebury and NO they are not for sale lol trying to buy another 1

[erectordale]

orangecounty I found a new one to day need brake pedals for 2 of theses machines and short 2 rear hubs off to the machine shop i guess

[SpeedBump]

Nice collections guys.

If my guy ever gets back to me, I will have a pair of Tiger 500s to start restos on. I am shooting on having one up and running for TF. Hopefully this Sunday he will be ready for me to come get them. Crossing Fingers Here.


BTW,My spare Tiger 250 Engine is up on Ebay...not complete, but close.

[twgranger]

Here is my tiger. Not sure what year she is but she runs like a rapped ape!!! :D

[03 ORANGE SHEE]

wow!!, it has the real fur seat cover, i bet it purrs :p

[erectordale]

Thats awsome 2- 500's i found another tiger trike but guy doesn't know what size it is I'm hoping either 500 or 80

[twgranger]

wow!!, it has the real fur seat cover, i bet it purrs :p
I got the seat cover from LonesomeTriZ. :p

[Orangecnty250r]

Its fun to hunt things like this down- Ive put up WANTED signs in convenient stores--With a picture of a tiger 3 wheeler--- we had a flat track years ago a couple of miles from my house. Theres more of these things out there just sitting waiting to be found & restored!!!!!

[erectordale]

thats almost as fun as rebuilding them [QUOTE]

[dblshockpower]

WTF is a Tiger? any finished pics? or pics when they were new? are they as large as they look?

[Orangecnty250r]

WTF is a Tiger? any finished pics? or pics when they were new? are they as large as they look?

To answer your question- One bad arse piece of flat track racing history.

Check out the TIGER page on this site for the history.

[dblshockpower]

Tiger 500? looks like it could be a little slippery! lmao! why is that guy turning right and leaning left on that front page 500 pic? "a simple squirt of the throttle brings the back-end around" WHOAAAA!!!! LMAO!

[erectordale]

well finally got the avatar up think it fits this topic lol

[Orangecnty250r]

An actual Tiger dealer was rare let alone a decal of one that exists today--GREAT DECAL!!!!!!

Think If I call the number they have a brand new TIGER in each of the sizes they never sold as well as a stockpile of factory plastics and a couple of engines SLAP!!!
My girlfriend slapped me up the side of my head --said i was sleep walking dreaming & mumbling something ----What was I saying?????

[toyota200x]

I can't believe that they put trail pros on the back of that 500. Those are one of the worst tires ever. Cool article, I can't believe that they called it cobby.

[86250RZ]

Bayou 3 Wheeling was owned by Terry Lysion back in the 80's He now works for Mac Tools and no longer has any Tigers or parts for Tigers. The 200 With the Bayou 3 wheeling sticker a tiger 80 and a Tiger 250 were all found thanks to him.

The restore is moving along-- Got the tank and shroud back from paint- took a while but worth it ---boy do they shine. Put the new tiger decals on it & should have a nice roller by the end of the week --still waiting on those damm bearings.

[twgranger]

They did an awsome job on them.

[erectordale]

orangecounty I went to local bearing store and had all new bearings for whole machine 115.00 and the was all in stock tank and shroud looks great

[SpeedBump]

Don't think I can't see the Tecate 4 hiding back in the corner!!! :w00t:
White plastics on a 87, or is is actually a 88? Get a pic or two of that one if ya get a chance.

Super nice Tiger collection ya got there....few more and ya got em all! Better hurry up and find em, I know there is "ANOTHER" attempting to have the whole tiger Lineup! ;)

Hey Orange, how did you get the color choice figured out? Did you have a color code, or did the painter just custom mix from "eyeballing" the stocker stuff? Looks awesome so far, any updates?

[3tigers]

yes that is an actual '88 hiding back there.i bought it at the end of last summer.it is all original right down to the tires.still has the key and all working lights.the only thing it was missing is the plastic cover for the radiator.if you know where i can get one i would appreciate it.i also have a new front fender and hood for it.someone went crazy with gray primer on the frame though.i am trying to get the whole collection,thats why i was asking you before about a 500.if you ever decide to get rid of 1,let me know.

[whiteman350x]

Here is my Tiger. It runs great, but the radiator is shot. I am having a new one built. It should be ready by the end of the week. I still need a rad shroud tho. How about someone with a mold make me one? Gimme a shout with the price.

Whiteman

[SpeedBump]

.........the only thing it was missing is the plastic cover for the radiator.if you know where i can get one i would appreciate it.
Goto KawieRiders (http://www.kawieriders.com/forums/index.php?act=idx) and contact Magoo, King of Kawis or Dave Roberts for a cover, they should be able to hook you up. :w00t: BTW, don't unload that front fender without giving me a shot at it :naughty: , and I got you down as an interested party for the spare 500 and stuff! ;)

[John mendolera]
