Reibers tiger rebuild

[rybes]

coffees drunk mate today ive been busy. ive degreased the engine, cleaned the carbs and seperated the exhaust for paintin. anyone know a good heat proof paint ? also, am i right in thinkin that my tigers exhaust is stainless ?it aint magnetic only the rear cans and pipe work are. it seems jus the manifold and balance/link pipe is stainless ? im sure ill be put right if i aint.
so heres the pics of todays spanner twirlin :D

how gutted was i when i realised me cans were rotton. holes in one of em :( how more gutted was i when i never bid for a brand new stainless exhaust that was on ebay yesterday :(

Hope you remember where all those parts go.  :lol:

As for those stainless cans on Ebay, they usually list a set every week.

And i`ve just resprayed my old cans, i used high temp babecue paint from Homebase.

You are far more organised than me :) I can never remember which bolt goes where, so as I disassemble the bike I put all the bolts back where they came from sans the part removed. Pity about those zorsts :(

If they were the Motad ones, he probably has more or they will be relisted. try giving Motad a call. I ended up paying 186 for mine.

I'm ... completely ... overwhelmed. You have large tracts of bike restoration kung fu, man. When it's done it looks like it could easily be better than new. AMAZING WORK!
