new addition for me tiger

[rybes]

last week saw somthin on ebay for a 5er so ive been say all week watchin it. cant beleive i actually won it for 5 quid 

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TRIUMPH-TIGER-1050-SWINGING-ARM-/261135696336?ssPageName=ADME:B:EOIBSA:GB:3160&nma=true&si=g9RdZi7EHpdzMfBJSyJaoRQFg1Q%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

now its just a case of when i get back to england, im in denmark for xmas n new year    to try it up n see if it fits.

[Bixxer Bob]

Nice one Rybes mate, especially if it fits... errr..  fits what exactly?  If it's your steamer it'll add to the uniqueness of it, but- even if the wheel is the right width (ok custom spacers should sort that) - won't you need to change rear brake caliper mounting etc?  And what about shock mount?  Oh boy, this is going to be fun.  Count me in if you need help!

I can do spacers if reqd btw 
 

[rybes]

yeah its for the steamer mate. at 5 quid plus a tenner for postage even if it dont fit i could cut the brace of and weld it to my arm. same as with the brakes. even if i have t go out in the future and get the 1050 bits. 5 quids worth the gamble.
cheers for the offer of the spacer makin too Bob. dont worry when it comes to fittin it ill be lettin ya know 

[rf9rider]

Nice bargain mate.
Be interesting watching this when or if you get it fitted, and i can vouch for Bixers spacers, he made me a couple. 

[Sin_Tiger]

This is going to be interesting   

[rybes]

i cant wait to get back and get the spanners and tape measure out 

[Bixxer Bob]

TAPE MEASURE???  Oh dear God...... 

[rybes]

yeah, tape measure  makin dummies out of plasticine was such a hit and miss affair 

[Bixxer Bob]

   

[rybes]

[Sin_Tiger]

Do us a favour and UPS the angle grinder to someone before you start

[rybes]

angle grinder ? too posh for me mate. i use hammer n bolster chisels 

[Bixxer Bob]

I can vouch for that......

[rybes]

[rybes]

its 21mm to wide and has a single suspension mountin point instead of a twin one. this is gunna be fun.
the mighty bixxer bob come round today and had a look at it with me. its goin to take some machinin work, hittin with hammers, head scratchin and swearin but hopefully i can get it too fit.

cheers for poppin round today bob
