TIGER #2 Found, maybe #3

[iowarotax]

good news, I just had a phone call about the other Tiger. Bad news, they chopped it up and put a street bike engine in it. But... they blew that engine up, and they are going to round up all the remaining Tigers parts and call me. I'll keep updates on that nightmare..what a waste of a great trike.

IOwa let me know if you get that chopped up frame I could use the steering stem area

[iowarotax]

Yeah I will. I'm not looking forward to another long drive, but if there is enough good parts, I'll be gone. I wish this info on the second tiger would of happened yesterday!!

Hey if you are not interseted in the other Tiger, I need the sprocket, disc and wheel hubs, also 2 rotors. I could even call about just these items and pay to have them shipped. Let me know

[blue27]

I noticed between my two Tiger the steering stem is different, one is a one piece tube and the other is narrow in the center.

[iowarotax]

No, I'm going to hopefully get the stuff shipped. I'll keep you updated on what I get. Another thing, I just won a ebay auction on a front lever/master cylinder front caliper combo. This will work on the tigers. I got it for 10.00 plus shipping.

These 2 frames necks look the same, but have not had time yet to compare. I did notice that the 2 tanks look the same but where they fit around the neck they are a little different. I will try and take some more pics tommorow and note some differences.

[iowarotax]

Heres the 2 tanks. Notice how the shape by the neck is a little different. I know its hard to see with my great camera. I'm getting a better one tommorow.

[iowarotax]

I was just looking at the 2 frames side by side. There is at least a dozen different little things from frame to frame. The biggest dif I saw was it looked like the angle of the main frame tube that the tank mounts to. It looks like one is raked at a slightly steeper angle. Also alot of the gromet and mount holes are diff sizes.

[iowarotax]

One of the rear rims that came with this is really got a bad dent in edge of the rim. Is there any way to repair a bent rim? Also, has anyone put other rims on these tiger hubs? If so, what brand and size cross-over?

[blue27]

Should be Mitchell Blue wheels, which is now Douglas Wheel and Tecate bolt pattern 4 on 4 8 inch.

Hey, I just bought a new camera, But when I try to post pics, it wont let me post them. It says there too big. Can I adjust my camera or something????

[iowarotax]

Hopefully this works!

[iowarotax]

I guess you can teach an old dog new tricks. Thanks for the help. More pics later.

Some cool parts.....I spent the entire day working on the tigers as well. I had several seized bolts on the A -arms and front end of the tiger 4....Almost lost my mind several times .....cant even put it into words.... at one point 3 or 4 bolts took over three hours to get out .... anyway glad you got the camera going and shot those pics
