    Its time ......TIGER 500 Unveiled

    OK I have put my heart and soul into getting this thing to this point. My goal was to make it look EXACTLY like the 1985 Dirt wheels test TIGER 500 and I think its there (see my avatar).....yes they came with those 10 inch carlisles and you cant buy the 10 inch anymore ( so thats why they are on there for those who are wondering). This is just put together so I could see it and take pictures....its not restored OC style and thats the next step. I will be breaking it down refinishing it by painting properly, zinc plating, and all new hardware. I even have a nicer lower hour motor that runs perfect that will go in...this one was just for the mock up. When I first came on this site and even after starting to collect tigers seeing only photographs of one in pieces on the tiger page until erectordale got his going I never thought I'd rope one of these into my stable!!!!!!!

    Other smaller or lesser known companies, such as Tiger ATV, Franks, and Cagiva, produced racing three wheelers, but in much smaller numbers. Few of these machines are known to exist today and are highly sought by collectors.

    Very Nice! I dont know how you do it... I am pulling my hair out trying to find parts for my tecate... that thing is bad enough... but a Tiger 500. Much respect to you, I admire your dedication. I would say it has paid off nicely. HH

    Thanks for the great feedback guys .... This one was in the top two of my hardest builds so far....the cagiva is another one that has its challenges. Although because I am have a poster made of the dirt wheels 500 I am keeping the Carlisle on but here is a pick with some H traks ( I just wanted to see how the machine looked with them) Nice but I have grown to love the carlisles.....never thought I 'd say that
