Hello Triumph Rat, I am new here, just purchasing my first Triumph. A 2000 Tiger 885i, with a rod sticking out of the upper case. I can not take responsibility for the engine damage, but I hope to be the prime person responsible for the Tigers resurrection. I have, I would like to think a little better than average mechanical ability. I have rebuilt numerous muscle cars from the ground up (engines and bodies), a few dirt bikes, quads, a harley or two and this, my first attempt at anything British. In the back woods of Oregon, this time of year, there is little to do besides get muddy and cold outside, so I like a Winter project and the Tiger is it. I have been without a street legal bike for about 5 years and am VERY excited about pouring my heart and soul into the rebirth of the Tiger.
I plan to update this thread as I work through the transformation and want to give credit where credit is do;
First and foremost, thanks to DEcosse, for giving me the push to start on this adventure and the brains/know-how to, make it a reality.
