Tiger 955i Wanted

[chairhead]

Hello everybody!,
as the title suggests, im after a 955i,i am a genuine buyer with cash burning a hole in my pocket,
I prefer a spoke wheel model, any mileage considered, obviously the more farkles you have the better 
drop me a pm if you are thinking of selling
cheers

I happened to see a very tidy silver/gold 07 plate in a local bike shop. Reputedly low mileage, genuine panniers, decent  top box, Centre stand etc. I think he said 3200 but  obviously there will be some room in that. If your interested I'll get more info for you.

Thanks Sin,
I'm really after a spoke wheel bike, I'd like one as a solo and keep the old one on the chair, it doesn't take long to switch it round but it is a pain the older I get  , so a solo of the same ilk would be nice, have you thought anymore about a chair?

Missed that bit  I'll keep my eyes open.

Yes, planning to pick up the Steamer tug in a week or two, then a very early Hedingham solo around the same time, then the    gets started for real.

A unmarked Blue 955i with very little mileage was on offer at the show yesterday and a couple of ratty Tiga's to. I took a business card so will dig out the number for you

I'd wait and bide your time their have been a couple of wire wheeled Tigers on ebay this year absolute gems low miles and done nothing,dearest one I've seen was £3200,I'm still kicking myself over the one that Timbox gave me the heads up on a while back,he who hesitates is lost e'h 

[Chris Canning]

There you go with all the hard work done,I've no doubt the 'Does it have a full dealer service history brigade' will run a mile but that's a lot of bike for the money.

I have a 885i Tiger, which I am still trying to decide what to do with as it has recently become my second bike after i bought a new Super Tenere.

H&B rear top box rack (and H&B top box 45L alu exclusive)
custom sump protection (using sump frame from steamer, mounting to centre stand bolts and engine bars)
Touratech pannier rack
hugger
heated grips
hagon rear shock & fork springs (about 5k miles ago) did the swingarm bearings at the same time
steering head bearings (sep13)

hella driving lights
Rear light replaced with LED unit.
recent new battery (Sep13)
