**Trikeaholic** · 01-12-2003, 09:28 PM

its not there??? I hope thats not the one I was gonna buy..... I havent been able to phone a guy with one, and he had said he was pretty busy too. I took that as "im in no hurry to get rid of it".......................

**Trikeaholic** · 01-12-2003, 09:33 PM

nope, thats the one. I hate to break it to ya, guys, but without the original bodywork, it aint worth no 4 grand. Put it to ya this way, I had no idea that the original plastic was JUNK... Im glad I didnt go look at it, I would have been EXTREMLEY dissapointed. Mine is 10 times nicer than that one. but I need that radiator scoop.

**Trikeaholic** · 01-12-2003, 09:47 PM

I just thought of something else, too. I was wondering what common plastic could be used to preserve my original. Now HE used 84-85 tecate, and I know why, cause its flat underneath, and bolts to the frame. pretty clever. Im going to see if 230 quadsport WHITE rear fenders could possibly be used because they bolt up in the same way........hmmmm mabey there is hope for all those tigers out there with no rear fenders, now to find a radiator scoop! I guess something positive did come out of this.

Holics got his thinking cap on.........take cover

Man thats a beauty! Yeah it rugged....but its a Tiger. Yummy.

If you look in the pictures, he still has the original plastic.---Joe 8)

and if you cant see that its all smashed up and missing pieces, you need a bigger monitor.

**OldSchoolin86** · 01-12-2003, 10:47 PM

I just can't trust someone that says the plastic is bad because it got old.

**HemiChallenger71** · 01-12-2003, 10:50 PM

When these freaks and hicks and other people see what those Tiger's went for, they all come out of the wood work. I think we will see a lot more in the near future. Everyone has no care for a 3 wheeler just wants to make money. I am slightly that way, but selling mine because I can't get it apart to fix the bearings.

Ill stick with my 8" monitor ,thanks :? ---Joe

Amazing, that makes this one about the 100th Tiger from New York. You guys get all the luck.

**Jeb** · 01-13-2003, 10:39 AM

That's what I was just thinking. New York = Tiger ATV Heaven!

When he decided to go green Kawi plastic, he should have used 86/87 KXT plastic. It's pretty flat along the bottom too and the front fender looks 100% better. And I hate that Maier low profile rear plastic. Tecate-4 rear fender would have been cool too. Sadly, I think Maier only offers the Tecate-4 Fender in green even though there were allot of white '88 KXFs sold.

The fiberglass fenders appear used to me. Look closely at the motor. looks pretty clean and no wear marks. Then on the other hand the frame around it looks pretty rough. I'd love to have one, but definitely not worth $4000 + $600 shipping to me.

**Joel85350X** · 01-13-2003, 03:00 PM

What I can't get over is how he mentioned that it had been ridden only one tank of gas since new. Ok, that's not very much, so how did the paint on the right hand side frame get rubbed off? By your 3 year old boy sitting on it and pretending? Give me a break. And Holic was right, the plastics look like crap. I guess that 4 gallons of gas was hard on the bike!

Lies are not cool, especially if everyone with a little common sense knows you are full of buffalo puckey.

**Trikeaholic** · 01-13-2003, 11:14 PM

its very unfortunate that this Tiger frenzy is gettin out of hand. At this rate, its just gonna be bad for the hobby. Tigers are neat, but they are certainly garage queens, at best. They are really not a useable toy to have, not to mention the body parts are absolutley not available. I was able to find an original front fender, thanks to HRC200X, and the owner sold it to me (havent got it yet) but that is a one in a million shot, and I doubt I will ever find a radiator scoop. NY was HUGE in ice racing and flat track back in the day, and I think alot of Tigers were sold for that purpose. There is a lake down the road from me, that has Ice racing every sunday, un-officially, but back in the '80's it was pretty well run, with a huge turnout.

**Da_Catt** · 01-14-2003, 12:09 AM

are the tiger fenders fiberglass? I think i read that somewhere. If they are then new ones could be made easy. just use a good one to make a mold. or fiberglass can be repaired.
