I found lots of the fasteners on the Tiger to be very rust-prone, even in Arizona!. I also found it unusual that they used such a mix of phillips, torx, and allen. When I first rebuilt the Tiger, I replaced lots of the torx with SS allen, Some of the really big torx are still there - engine mounts, etc., but most of the little phillips - handlebar stuff - and most of the small torx - cowling and body and trim - are now stainless steel allen. This means I only need a set of allen keys in my toolbag and everything stays shiny and brite! Also, every fastener is installed with Loctite.
Anybody want a bag of rustry torx fasteners, let me know.....
