Yeah I listed it-- I put my tiger roller together yesterday and it looks sweet. Still waiting and waiting for my brake caliper mount to be fabricated --driving down today to see whats going on with that. Slow people make me crazy :mad: I'll post some tiger pics next week-- its unreal.

This was an extra I had laying around that came with my bike. To 99.9% of the public it's worthless. To the right person looking for one of these its a real deal. I would pay much more if my tiger project had a missing or cracked tank. Sadly those who need it will probably never see it because after typing tiger ATV on ebay 3000 times without a hit they've probably given up.

Scott-- remember I mentioned looking for an 87 tecate 3 in the future Next day I found one and Bought it!! Hows that for timing ( It was meant to be). Gonna park that one in a corner for a while. Probably a next winter project. Tecate restore II coming to a theater near you.

If youre Really looking you will find one someday one way or another. A while back when I read the Tiger link here as i drooled I thought to myself whether it was realistic that I could ever own one with the 3 wheeler demand being where its at. Several months later --I will have one of the nicest ones with all original plastics in the country. Hey erectordale sell one of your fleet to this man will ya :beer Good Luck in your search.

Love the tecate plastics you've done!!!

This one has the original paint with normal scuffs. For a restore I would repaint it

Oh, I didn't know they were painted from the factory. Learn something new everday.

The tank and original shroud on my tiger are fiberglass so they were painted from the factory.

Some people say that some shrouds are plastic.

My fenders are PVC some others are fiberglass.

One of the cool things i ve done with my fenders is restore them without painting them (a several week process since you can only take so much monotony in one sitting. I wanted to avoid painting since they were not painted from the factory. The pvc yellows terribly with age. I'll bore everyone with the risky pvc restore process I tried when I post the tiger restore pics. They came out awesome. Even my girlfriend who couldnt give a rats arse about my collection complimented strongly in amazement that the fenders look new.

I have always wanted the 3 fastest three wheelers ever made. After I got all three I found out about the the Tiger. Ok so I want the 4 fastest three wheelers ever made. I know now that they made a 500 Tiger, chances are I wont find one, but I would settle for the 250. I will keep searching, and maybe someday I'll find one!
