Yes they are fiberglass along with the gas tank I believe. If you read the test of the Tiger 500 on 3ww it has some of the accessories you could get for a Tiger and they were lighting kits, air box and handle bar mounted gas tank. They also said that one tiger can differ from the next because as soon as they came up with a better design they'd change immediatly. Maybe thats why there is that one picture of the handlebar mounted radiator and all of the rest have them infront of the riders leg. The guy who won the auction for the 3 Tigers said they are all liquid cooled, even though the 125 has air cooling fins its still liquid, thats the first time I've ever seen that.

I am sorry that you all have negative comments for the Tiger on Ebay. As all you Tiger lovers know, the machine was not powder coated, it was commercially sprayed and when the elements hit the paint for 18+ years in an outside shed, it is bound to breakdown and I don't need a masters in physics to figure that out. Further, the one time it was ridden by my neighbor that won it in a raffle at an ice race here in "HICKVILLE" USA as some choose to call our area, the machine was flipped over backwards so, hence, the rear plastic was damages. Call me all the names you can think of but I have my intergrity and I am not a first time owner of ATV's. My last machine was a 2001 LoneStar Honda 250R that costs in excess of $16,000 and have raced for over 12 years on quads. Three wheelers are in a different clawss all their own and that is why I decided to sell it. The way I look at it is this-if you are interested then bid-if not, don't but before you start mud slinging on a situation you have no clue about, maybe you should question the seller rather go at it blind!
