Not one to be crossed, Mrs Nickcalne, and apparently I have to decrease the volume of goods in the attic, most of which are motorcycle components, or face a slow and painful death. Not good news for me either way, but potentially good news for you if you have a steamer.
Lots and lots of steamer fairing bits that I have picked up along the way. All panels need repainting as a minimum, so make me a reasonable offer for what you need and it'll be what we agree, plus what it costs to post and pack. Or you can and collect if you prefer.

And some side panels and other odds and sods.
Any questions, just ask.
Nick
Is the foot a free gift?? :icon_lol:
have you got the little infill panels that that go between the tank and rear side panels (and screw to the airbox)
pref red and esp need the l/h side
I'll help you out with the blue bits Nick, am I seeing correctly that someone has cut the front panel to make openings :icon_scratch:
I hate to see a man suffering :ImaPoser
Guys.
Nick - The feet are not included I need them to maintain stability and gear changes and I don't have a spare set.
Ram - I know what you mean and will have a look later on. I should do but dont know for sure.
Sin - Yes a previous owner has for reason unknown made a sort of mesh filled vent.... :icon_rolleyes:
Bizzare :icon_rolleyes: PM me with what you want and I'll sort you out, cheers.
Ram. No sign of the buggers. If they show I'll bear you in mind. There was a guy on ebay making fibreglass replicas at one time....
Sin. Will do asap.

This is the guy on Ebay who was selling the side airbox covers, i got mine from him, good quality parts.
None showing in his shop, but worth sending a message?

If I can't find 2 in correct red ill let you know, otherwise I'll have to respray it
Which is you're "correct" Red, Pimento (93-96), Chilli (97) or Volcanic (98)?
I've used Nik's Euro Bits before :thumbsup .
I'm not sure what red I've got.
Nik said he hadn't got any l/h air box panels in (only rights?)
Well, if it was registered before 96 you should be quite safe with Pimento. I can't remember which one was the metallic, any ideas Mustang?
It was actually registered in 99
P.o told me the original buyer didn't want the new fangled
Injection and the only new one dealer could get was from usa.
So it's prob the only 99 with carbs in uk
this should help
I listed the steamer colors
1993 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998
Pimento Red Pimento Red Diablo Black Diablo Black Diablo Black Jet Black
Caspian Blue Caspian Blue Caspian Blue Caspian Blue Caspian Blue British Racing Green
Sandstorm Pimento Red Pimento Red Khaki Volcanic Red
Chili Red
the color matched engine covers were a german thing and only on 93's and 94's IIRC, even though the chart shows all caspian blues with them . (they used same image for all on chart)

and the two colors missing from the chart
volcano red

sandstorm

Not at home atm and looking at pics on iphone
But it may be the bottom one on the poster as it's an orangey red
that's Chili Red ....only used in 1 model year , the 1997 Tiger
I'll have a closer look when I get home at weekend, although the paint on mine is quite poor anyway
Thanks Mustang, I suspected that but not so easy with photos. Fair comment about carbs I suppose.
That makes it a bit trickier, you'll have to check your VIN against a paint list if you want to be absolutely sure, sadly I don't have that info to hand.
Mustang, were the paint codes marked any where on the panels?

no , original panels had nothing on them
replacement plastics had a little sticker on the backside that had part# and paint name but no codes
heres a couple of pics taken tonight (on phone so colour may not be perfect)
im still not sure which colour it is?
with black letters it is definitely Chili Red
pimento red is white lettered with the tiger logo
you'd know if you had volcanic red
it looks more the shade of bbq sauce

thanks for that
ive just seen your vin check post as well and that shows mine to be 97 which ties in with the poster of colours in your earlier post :thumbsup

I'm glad there is a way to tell the diffidence as I'm crap with colours and is always getting me in trouble.
How desperate are you to get it looking right?
Reason I ask is I have a full set of matching red (don't ask me which flipping shade) the only issue is someone has had the parts coded. I'm not willing to split up a good set just to make a few quid, in fact fact I'm not interested in making money at all but I do want to keep a good spare set of plastics, the colour is immaterial.

thanks for the offer. not desperate to get it right, just rideable and complete
ive got a m8 who sprays so i may get him to respray it in winter.
looks like i maybe striping engine again anyway as i think my misfire may be a faulty valve so i may have to replace the head
OK Bikedecals did me a set of originals at reasonable cost, I've still got the details somewhere if you need them.
Nick - real sorry about the hijack, let me know what you want to do with the blue bits.

thanks -i did see these a few days ago but was hoping to pick up just the l/h side poss. strange that there are a few r/h sides but no lefts ?
Quote from: ram33 on April 26, 2014, 10:01:47 PM

The left side is more vulnerable to 'at rest' tipovers, maybe????
Oops! - that wasn't supposed to happen :icon_redface:
I only realised recently that a PO has made a nice neat job of the infill panels on mine, I thought this was standard up until then, but they've done a good job, especially the stainless mesh behind the holes, they blend in nicely with the side panels :icon_cool:

i did get told the reason they always break buy a bloke at triumph. cant remember what it was now but there is a reason
My one failed at the screw mount points. My theory is that the left one gets the most chemical attack from petrol overspill, cleaning, and anything else that may drain across it when left on side stand. The face of the panel where it screws to the airbox has the look and feel of plastic that has hardened and become brittle. Just a few thoughts...
Also it is in the way of the petcock so has to be removed when you take the tank off.
Ram, look what I found in the darker recesses of the loft!
