They handle pretty well, but it`s a heavy old beast to pick up when it falls over

Well Chaps, long story short, sold the Tiger project, and sold Tiger number 1.
Tiger 2 has had a bit of work, modded to fit the Trophy 3 spokes, a lot of powdercoating, and a few bits and pieces here and there.
The bodywork is at the painters this week, should be done by the weekend, so here`s where i`m up to so far

Judging by all the replies, guess no-ones interested?

It does have a Yamaha part on it, the billet fuel cap is from an R1, fits straight on the Tiger tank.

Who cares?

Here she is, just about finished

It needs proper tyres on it, looks abit silly I think with road tyres.

The front mudguard looks a bit out of place and thats a HUGE speedo cable.

More choice for road tyres rather than knoblies, plus the road tyres stick to the road better, you might be surprised how well these handle

Its a supermotard theme, mudguard is supposed to be high

And the speedo cable is on my "to do" list, getting it shortened while i`m away on my hols, it was the best available at short notice
