    I bow to you. Where do you find the patience?
    For the love of god make this a rideable trike. It was born to be raced. The least you can do is run her up and down a few fields somewhere. Having a trike like that just sitting would be like having a hunting dog who never leaves the house. PLEASE ride that trike. No need to run the piss out of it of course but at least let it hit the power band here and there.
    It deserve to be babied. I can't argue that. It also deserves to be run. True props to you. The original designer of that machine would gladly shake your hand. So would I!

    I'll try to do a photo shoot of the three over the weekend. As for a ride or show bike , its definetely a show bike but I have to find the right field or parking lot to rip this thing around on when its done. I agree it would be a sin to find a tiger, build it, and never find out what it feels like to ride it.

    As for finding the patience I think its in the blood. I used to watch my father finely sand furniture for weeks to put in our house growing up. We didnt have alot of money to buy the best so he made the best. I would think "man this guy has to get a life ---it looks nice enough --stop the sanding already". Well I thought of that many times when I was redoing these fenders. It was like an internal drive to make them look as good as humanly possible and that meant boredom , hand cramping , and more and 5 trips to buy packages of sandpaper because I thought each trip would be the last. The end result was definetely worth it.
    Wikipedia "All Terrain Vehicle" Definition excerpt
    Other smaller or lesser known companies, such as Tiger ATV, Franks, and Cagiva, produced racing three wheelers, but in much smaller numbers. Few of these machines are known to exist today and are highly sought by collectors.

    Truley Awsome Mate. Very nice job, I can see alot of time and effort went into that rig. I can really respect a person by seeing just how they treat a machine.

    I was going to ask you the same question that I did about riding your restored tecate. I don't care who you are or how much will power one has...That thing has to be riddin at least once. I know that I would not be able to just let it sit there that's for sure.

    bill,
    the tiger looks great, i am so glad to see it went to a good home!

    alot of hours were spent finding those parts, especially the rear fender and pipe.

    Someone please hook this guy up with a nice Hoosier Tri-Trac front tire!

    That Tiger is simply beautiful. A work of art. If I was you I wouldn't worry about some RESPONSIBLE riding on it! Anyway, you've proven that you could take that sucker out and thrash it and then bring it back in the shop and transform it back to show-room condition. Hey, all it takes is time and money, right? !

    Great work!

    ummmmm, guys......wheres the motor? the laws of physics state that an object cannot be put into motion unless a force is acted upon it, so its going to be slow as hell until the is a fully race ported high compression race motor in that beast.

    Wow

    That is some awesome work you have done to that thing. Im even a little speechless right now
    [20:55] <waterpumper> putting a racing pipe on a Foreman is like putting a high dollar bikini on a 400 pound chick...just because it fits doesn't mean it looks cool
