Now to put it all back together

[ghulst]

Nice work Madruss. Hope your Tiger in the wild has been recovered now? My first Tiger was bought out of an inheritance and after purchasing the bike, I found an old ad in the manual for a Tiger with accident damage. It didn't take me long to figure out that was mine. The speedo bucked seemed to have been recreated completely out of putty.   So, I also had to recreate the whole front part of the bike that holds the lights and the fairing. Fortunately my bars were straight though.
Hope the parts bike is coming in soon.

3 years ago I only had one Honda

Good to see you came to your senses.

Mrs M isn't impressed now  so a larger shed is in the planning stages 

Wish I had the space for that... And the planning permission options.

It's arrived, albeit a couple of weeks late.
The carrier's trailer suffered a misadventure the day following loading, which required major repairs, hence the delay.

[Madruss]

The next issue to address is, the keys went "walkabout" before loading 
How do I go about opening the seat to access the new battery to fit into the black bike without damage.

Had a win on my initial inspection with brand name crashbars

[Madruss]

Unknown brand pannier racks but brand name mufflers which are a bit big (melted the sidecovers)

Variation of discs from '94 to 96

The "skinny" discs are aftermarket. I've used both of those on Steamers and couldn't say there was a lot of difference in performance, except the skinny ones rusted faster, lower silicone steel.

Nice work Russ. Looks like you have picked up some nice bits as well as all the other stuff on a pretty complete bike. Good on ya!

Thanks Beernard 
My righthand footpeg mounting in bent so that'll be another swap out.
I can't see the yellow brakelines fitting in to the black colour scheme either, so they'll stay.
I'll have the seat repadded "taller" with a different fabric too & put my seat with the primer/calypso tiger!

[Madruss]

The compliance plate is in a rather weird location, out on the swingarm, near the pillion footpeg   

[Madruss]

I needed to gain access to the battery on the 92 but without keys  I removed the seat from the 96, the conventional way (with a key) noting the cable to the seat release
I found after removing the pannier racks, plus exhaust I could lever up the seat using a long screwdriver & then another long one, push the cabled release mechanism to pop the seat off
Access to the battery successful, so now is on charge. Hopefully, by morning, it'll be fully charged.

Was the key not included in the deal?

[Madruss]

Unfortunately the owner had the bike strapped to a bike crate on the back of his truck, with the keys in the ignition!
Some "opportunist thief" grabbed them 😰😬

[Madruss]

I intend to remove the seat lock mechanism with the lock barrel & take it to a locksmith I've used in town & have a key  made to suit.
A bit of a pain in mule/donkey (being polite as we don't have an emoji of an Ass)
