Hardest restore to date!!! CAGIVA

[Orangecnty250r]

Well I have to clean the shop for all these TIGER builds and this CAGIVA has been ornery. After years of playing with TIGERS I got them down....this thing has me down....lack of motor internals, gaskets and just plain tough!! Looking nice but a long way to go on this one...I dont think I'll be able to move this out of the way soon

But here is how it started out.....its come along way!!!

[Tri-ZNate]

wow you definatly came a long ways with it. I suppose if you know where to look you can find those NOS parts. How did you ever come a crossed this one?

[Twilight]

Do any parts from the old Cagiva bikes fit?

[Bigbore]

Boohoo!

I guess... I should help you.

I'll let you send it to ME!:lol: :lol:


Looks good! Still having issues with the motor parts? There tough. It's definitely not a Honda. That's why I bought every Cagiva part I could when I saw them come up.

Who re-did your rear shock?

Don't feel bad, mine look a lot like yours does.

[Orangecnty250r]

Yup 1983 wmx 250. Its actually ready to mount the swinger shock and axle and make it a roller. All those parts are refinished. That will be the goal of the next 10 days or so. I'll update the thread when its on wheels. Yep Mario I have been keeping an eye out but havent seen the seals and gaskets.

That is quite the collection...

[JohnR.]

I've got to get up there one of these days and see that collection of yours. You're less than an hour away from me.

Way to go O.C ! Looking forward to this one.

What exactly are you looking for as far as internal engine components?

[Orangecnty250r]

What exactly are you looking for as far as internal engine components?

I'll dig up and pull the list of 25 part numbers later:eek: :eek: :cry: :lol:

[sandpuppi101]

I really like the Tiger's but I'll tell ya what,I remember when I was younger seeing one of those Cagiva's up close at the Pontiac Silverdome when they had the race's down there and how I absolutley loved those machine's,I just could'nt get over them.OC I am deffinatly anxious to see that machine all done up ,and that's gotta make a hellofa addition to your collection .

[chris200x]

Very cool!!! :beer that's one weirdass frame.. is it tweaked in the back?

I'd like to see a pic or two of yours bigbore!!!:D

[Nick_R_23]

Pretty sweet, I always liked the looks of the Cagiva bikes. What other bikes used the same engine/components, or was it this one only that did?

in the mid 80s, i want to say 1985 i rode a few times with a dude who had a cagiva. he said his dad was a dealer or something and he always had a back pack full of parts with him.

i asked him about the backpack and he said parts took to long to get.....and this was a new trike....lol

for a 200 the thing flew, took 250s in drag races but i have no idea who he was or what hapened to the bike but i have talked to many guys who rode that area and most remeber the red and green trike....lol
