Project Tigger

Post by Wicky »

Haven't had to do much much to new Tigger in the first couple of weeks. A good wash n polish and ACF15 for winter.

Fitted some stainless brake plug pins and fenda extender. Took off and repainted some rusty pannier brackets with antirust primer and Eastwood Chassis Black - similar first aid with Hi-temp enamel on the front engine casings where the powder coating was flakey and will look at again the Spring. New stainless nut and allen bolts where needed.

A bargain second-hand baglux tank cover does a good job of hiding the fugly large tank (200+ mile range!), now protected by crash bars / bull bars from heed in Poland - Slowly turning it into a motorcycle equivalent of a Range Rover! Just looking for a rear hugger and MRA screen for it.

Tested it over the weekend semi-off road when visiting a holiday camp by the sea and while I was there the access roads in & out were closed by a fireworks display - so to escape I had to shoot through some hedges and across fields avoiding security! Thankfully the twin headlights do a great job - already relay modded so both work dip and full beam.

Obligatory bin shot

'Girly' Tiger due to the graphic eyelash/ eyebrow / stripe above the headlights...

They don't call me Sharp Eye Maginty for nothing, well TBH no one calls me that I just made it up... :lol:

However I must say as a bin shot it's a bit poor esp from you.

Not quite on Custards level !

The Biffa bins is a better effort tho much better than the titchy food recycling pot.


It reminds me of this famous skip shot...
