new sneakers for Tigger #3

[Mustang]

Ok Tigger #3 is getting Hacked for the winter , that way I can ride all year in the frozen wasteland and not have to worry about falling over on ice  ! If you think a tiger front wheel washes out on you easy in sand and mud you should see how fast you hit the pavement when the pig hits some ice !
Anyway going to mount these tires for the winter so I can play in the snow , they are very aggressive knobbies and are also DOT rated (streeet Legal) and the really good news is they were cheaper than buying 1 TKC front tire , that's right both tires for under 110 bucks from Dennis Kirk .
They are Kenda K760 Trackmasters , the only thing that is not quite kosher is the one for the front , a 100/90/19 is really a rear tire for bikes like a CRF 450 mx bike that have 19 inch rears. should work perfect .

The back tire is 1 size smaller than what a steamer takes but when you put this next to a 140 or 150/70/17 tourance the knobbie is way wider than the tourance . I like it ! :D

Before the sidecar goes on I am definately gonna take tigger three and go play in the dirt !

The SideCar

Hmmmmm take off the plastic , shit no where to hook a car ...............yet ! :shock:


some bits of steel and a welder and looky here now I got a nice place to hang the car .  Did not have to modify anything on the tiger either to do it , YAY  



This is something I have wanted to do for a while now . I have the talent and equip to do so . I am building the car completely from scratch  :shock:
Here is a pic of some machining to make various bits  that I need .



The chassis is made from steel tubing that used to be a trampoline frame , amazing what you can do with a cut off saw a pipe bender and a welder !

when I am all done fabricating  the frame will get bead blasted and painted or better yet powder coated .
Going to run a 21 inch wheel with knobbies and hydraulic disc brake  from a honda 450 dirt bike . If it works out well I will spend the money to have a 17 inch rim laced to the hub and put some big stinking knobbies on it like the bike . Also with a 17 inch rim for the car I can run street rubber on it for the summer .
My doggies are gonna love it ! The little one already has her pink doggles picked out  


Stay tuned to this thread for more updates on the side car project................

Excellent!
Do you plan to stud the tires? Would that be legal on your roads?

Very cool idea Mustang.  I'd love to have a hack so I could take the lil'ns with me for a ride.

The knobbys make her look BAD TO THE BONE
They hum and sing on the pavement seem to be really good on dirt
Glad I.m going to have a sidecar they don't like to lean too well  :shock:
