Just drug this one into the shop. Have you ever seen one with a red frame that's not a 125? Check out the decay on the rear sprocket.

That is a very early tiger, look at the rear brake disk, nice snag.

I found this Tiger thru a friend that knew the owner. I got ahold of the originol owner who raced it for 2 years back in the day and he gave it to one of his buddys. I called him up and did a little horse trading and got it to the house. The original owner did tell me it was one of the first ones. The motor was not included. The one you see in the pic was one I had bought for another tiger project, so I will need to get another motor for this one. The RM is a 76 model that is real nice. Anyone wants to buy it PM me. The pics make the rust look worse than what it really is. As for the sprocket, I dont know. It's coming apart in layers.

I don't know a lot about the tigers. Haven't seen one with a Tecate style front radiator. Has a Tecate front tire. Looks like you have your work cut out for you. Cool bike.
