i have already done this one,,,,,, the ride of the tiger was real harsh and choppy,,they weren't really designed as a all out moto-x trike, even though it was an 85,, and my 500 is an 86,, but there is no comparision between it and the honda pro-link,,, and in a drag race it fell way short of the power of a cr500,,,,,,

[Darius1502]

Ok...ok....so you beat the Tiger....do you want me to bring my KTM 550 to the drag strip??

Honestly, I dont' care how fast the Tiger 500 is. Its just such a rare trike and the fact that a company made 3 wheeled open class two stroke is just awesome.

How do you think it would fair (stock v. stock) against a Quadzilla?

Just messing with you!!

[KASEY]

that would be a real close one i think,,, i feel special cause i did get to ride one of those tiger 500's,,, it was kool,,, heres the one i got to ride,,,http://www.3wheeler.org/ReadersRidesSource_files/DylanOlsen/tiger.jpg

There used to be a ktm 550 trike conversion at buttercup dunes(south end of glamis) it ran real well, guy used to wear a fighter pilot helmet was kinda weird. Not sure if any of you older dune guys remember him i think he used to swap between buttercup and patton valley with a couple visits to glamis, I have no idea where im going with this post but oh well (oh ya smoked the ktm First run out second run ripped off the pipe so i guess were even oh well!

Very cool. Anything big bore is excellent in my book. Gotta love anything thats larger than 500 cc's.

Is that the original shock on the Tiger? Those guys were ahead of thier time....no linkage on the swinger??

Looks like a modern day KTM shock set up:
