1995 Tiger for parts in Houston Texas

Well, there are many ways a valve adjustment can go awry, but having someone break into your truck and steal the toolbox containing the cams is not generally anticipated.  :?

It leaves me with a 1995 Tiger with many new parts and no cams.  She has 30K on her, and I have done the following:

New airbox (brand new)
Cleaned and inspect carbs
New o-rings for all body work
New pickup sensor (brand new)
New thermostat (brand new)
New radiator cap (brand new)
She also has a Rich's custom seat
Changed all fluids

I have her title, but mostly need to get rid of her.  She ran great, but I have too other bikes and not enough time.  I was getting her ready for a tour so had gone through and adjusted, cleaned, lubricated pretty much everything.  I put dielectric grease on every electric junction.  I lubed the chassis.  I removed, cleaned, waxed, and polished the entire body.

My loss is your gain.  I think $800 is more than fair, but let's talk.  I need her gone and would like someone who wants to get her back on the road to have her.  

Regards,

Aaron

I have a contact with some cams.off a 95.  Cheap.  I can send you the contact info if you like. Cheers Kevin

Picture added.  She is disassembled to the point needed for a valve adjustment.  I have used cleaner wax on the body and it looks very good.  The red is much deeper than when purchased (as pictured).  I also did some small things like change the instrument lights to LEDs.

As far as racks and bags:  I have brand new, mounted but unused givi top rack and triumph branded givi side racks along with brand new caribou cases in 36L.  I paid $500 for the cases and a couple hundred for the racks.  

I'll take $600 obo for the racks and bags, or we can work on parting it out.  I am pretty busy right now but will try to get pics asap.  Appreciate the offer for new cams, but I just don't have time.  I have another bike that needs to be reassembled.

thats 600 for the racks and cases right ? and 800 for the bike ............cuz in your post it could be misleading , thinking that I could score a 95 tiger minus cams and a new set of racks and bags all for 600 bucks , cuz if it's 600 for racks bags and tiger, I'm hooking up the trailer right now  :D

Sad but a real bargain for someone who knows the value of it, surprised you felt the need to do the cams at that milage.

Nice looking Steamer.
I used to have long hair, took acid and went to hip joints. Now I long for hair, take antacid and need a new hip joint
