The new addition too the TIGER den (pics included)

[erectordale]

I bought another Tiger 250 I never seen this tiger before I bought it. I called this gentleman and left my name and a week goes by and he calls and we get talking about this machine. he under- described the condition !!! this tiger is in great shape other than the frame has been broke and repaired. now for the difference between the 3 tiger 250's I own. all of the other tigers (all 5) have triple trees that are 14 1/4 inches wide the new 250 has 17 1/4 inch wide triple trees. what a wide front tire it looks like a sx type tire it a 22.00x11.00-8 all I can figure is that it was set up for either snow or sand dunes. just a quick once over tonight only thing I see wrong woth it is brakes none of them work the motor has great compression and the shroud is in solid form the carb is clean looks like new the gas tank has been cleaned before it was parked . Ok with that said here's some Pics my fiancee took when it arrived today so I could post them for all too see tonight when i got home from work :Bounce

[erectordale]

Cool!!!!! A tiger is a tiger and that one is fairly complete...A rare find. I know some people dont believe they are as rare as once thought but 2 the entire year on ebay last year and none so far this year constitutes rare in my book...Great Tiger collection you got going !!!

I will second that. Nice find and collection.:beer

[250r'en +TCB]

I have to ask, where on earth do you find parts??? That needs a seat and rear dender right? Do they ever pop up on ebay or do you need to custom make them??? I would kill to own a tiger 500....as you can see from my signature below I'm pretty desparate!!! hahaha

[blue27]

GREAT FIND Dale!!!!!!!!!!! :Bounce I am jealous. I need to catch up:naughty: --I only have one!:lol: Good luck!!!!!!

[erectordale]

I have been getting any thing thats missing frame wise made or I make in house . far as engine electrical I found a old dealer from can am that had a lot off nos parts and they are here now . plastics this is a sore subject with me I have a plastic company that has been working on a new mold and making plastic for over a yr they should have it done soon as I've been calling daily too get it done.

Does anyone else with a tiger have the wide front end this is really strange looking compared too the others ?

[blue27]

oh, being a fat tire does that mean its a early model?

[erectordale]

its not as early as the first tiger 250 I restored

[86tri-z270]

is there any possibility i could get a pic of all your machines at once..... looks like you have a load..... if so email me screamsinthedark7@yahoo.com

[atcsteve]

Nice find dale,good luck with it!!

[chris200x]

that looks like a tecate front tire to me. nice score!

[Cody]

I would LOVE to have that. May I ask how much did you pay for this bugger?

[erectordale]

OK update rewired the kill switch checked the compression and cleaned the carb/tank 4 kicks and it runs great now too get the brakes and muffler up too par replace all the worn bolts and this machine will be rideable ..

Cody far as price I gave 800.00 and cost 250.00 shipping

[Cody]

Wow, IMO that's a good deal for a tiger.

[Somekindofjerk]

How about a video of that tiger bajaing around? Dont think anyones ever posted a video of a tiger on here before.

[erectordale]

I will have too see if I can get the camcorder out and see if I can never tried a video on here. far as pics of all the trikes I have way too many I will see if I can get a pic of all them tommorrow Lol will look like a trike fest pic

[dirtface]

Dale, Did you have that company that I e-mailed you renikasil the cylinders for your other Tigers? If so, were you happy with their work? And their turn around time?

[erectordale]

no I found that I could have new sleeve's installed for half the price so I never used the nikasil guys

[scooterroo]

what the heck, why cant ifind one. i just want one. nice find, wish i could get my hands on one.

[250r'en +TCB]

what the heck, why cant ifind one. i just want one. nice find, wish i could get my hands on one.
I feel the same way :lol:
Just any tiger machine would be nice to find. I have never seen one.....

[erectordale]

It takes a lot of looking too find a tiger I have a Army of people watching with a nice finders fee if they find a tiger that I can buy

[erectordale]

I was working on digging out some other parts and laid a tiger axle behind this newbie and long behold the rear axle is 4 inches narrower than the rest of my tigers I will post a side by side pic by the end of the day.

[blue27]

I double checked and my triples ar also 14", are the fenders fiberglass? they look like it in the pics.

[crd00]

Thays a really nice find, Ive never seen a Tiger in person or even heard one run before, Id really like to see a video of you rippin everything up with it:w00t:

[crd00]

..

Cody far as price I gave 800.00 and cost 250.00 shipping


You only paid $250 shipping??? Thats really cheap to get a whole bike and 800 is really good for a tiger

[peeweesp]

nice find. cant wait to see it in a video

[erectordale]

WEll got the 250 runnning today and had too take a quick spin it's raining here or I would take a short video I will try too post so video this weekend just had the wrong jets in the carb

[grundlegrabber]

Nice score Dale! Good deal on that one. Even though quite a few Tigers have surfaced ove rte past year, they are still very rare. You can look for one for years and never find one. I stumbled upon mine by accident, in an unlikely place.
Mine has the 14" triples as well. I think yours is "special" !

[erectordale]

The fenders on this trike is all plastic no glass other than they radiator shroud. This tiger starts first kick every time !! The list of needs: clutch discs , new twist throttle, rear master rebuilt, swing arm bushings installed (thanks xsystem)and plastic all around, new seat cover when all this gets here I will start the total restore of this one. I had thought at 1 point I was going too sell this off but since it's so much differant than the other 250's I will just keep it as another form of the tiger racers. Need a bigger pole barn lol

[scooterroo]

you must post some pics of your whole collection. i think everyone would love to see them all together, would make an awesome desktop.
