The 2 week deadline worked great for my motivation. Thanks Raffa !!Got it a roller and started a cagiva webpage!!! Check it out link below
Cagiva
History- A few years ago I received a tip about a cagiva “Tricky Dicks” subframe, front wheel and hub, seat and a few other miscellaneous parts one state over from me. The sub-frame and fenders were painted white. Upon contacting seller to inquire if he had any other parts for sale he typed back “ none other than my complete cagiva 3 wheeler” :eek: :eek: Well I logged on to 3www to research Cagivas and hit the search feature…..low and behold I found an old post about a cagiva on ebay in texas with a picture….As I looked at the picture I saw that the parts in the background was the white cagiva parts I was bidding on ebay in PA. With it I found the picture of what I assumed was the complete cagiva he had mentioned…. well with those kinds of words and that detective work I bid and won the kit won it. I then emailed him that I would like to drive to pick it up “lets exchange phone numbers” . When we chatted not only did he buy and drive to Texas for the Cagiva lot in texas he also collected tiger parts and he had a complete super 4… …..all in one place!!!!!!! …I later learned it was the one posted on the 3 www tiger super 4 picture page that I had been drooling over for months. He was also the one that bought some tiger projects out of Long Island I missed out on and I never knew where they went. I did a complete buyout and the journey began. I took on the super 4 first but slowly over the past 2.5 years I have collected parts and refinished items along the way for the Cagiva….alot has been done along the way and although not done its really really close…enjoy
