Well I like it! Its a great fab job and looks very clean and professional. Sadly I think most would suggest that you do a proper restoration and not ride that bike very much.

It looks as though you have you're heart set on it being a reqular rider though. What are your intentions?

Looks very cool and trick. Did you make it, or was it something else you adapted to fit the job?

I like it..NICE WORK AGAIN!!!!!..I think its cool and he has inspired me to take the one extra tiger chassis I have put that later version NOS crate 250cc rotax motor I have and make a custom DAILY rider out of a tiger. I have big plans for it!!!

I like the idea of someone finally using a Tiger for what it was born for. Theres alot of minters out there still to make up for one or two riders :)

Just need these repro plastics.

Man that's a thing of beauty! Too bad the shock gets in the way on my T3 I'd love to do something like that. Are you gonna put a lid on it or run it open? Chris

guys....thanks ,and im gonna ride this thing.. at any time i can restore it and sell it...it was ment to ride.....plus i have friends with tecate 4s and a yfz 450 and mod banshee......i must rule them...and this thing gives me the best shot at it....lol...and yes im running the top open....its main goal is to keep water from splashing on the filter if i hit a puddle or get by some mud....most riding is gonna be on sand and gravle roads..this should work just fine for that...if i want deep muck i have a 95 polaris explorer 400 with a pipe , clutch .shaved head , weisco piston...it runs with kingquads and brute 750s all day...as for the air filter, yes i made it from scratch......again thanks..

Ride that dam thing!! You'll get alot more positive reinforcement from most of the members. It's great to collect ATC's but they are there to be ridden, not shown off and discussed over wine and lobster.....

I agree. A guy can always fix something if it breaks. I cant wait untill I get mine out and see if the tiger is all that the hype is. We are not dealing with 1952 Mickle Mantle cards here. These trikes are never gonna be worth life changing money, so I say, ride em. Its fine if people want to restore machines and never ride them, thats their choice. Thats my 2 cents.
