Picked up a semi basket case 650 today. Engine needs to be rebuilt, it has a newly bored cylinder and new pistons. Head is good. Bike is complete and I have all the parts to put it back on the road. Oh, it's a Triumph Tiger  . It is kinda rough, might be a candidate for a bobber. Pictures to follow in my gallery.
I love Craigslist.

What year is it King? Those old Tigers look sweet restored and run like a raped ape. Parts are more readily available for them than you might think, many of them less than the cost of comparable XS parts.
A couple of pics of my brothers '73 Tiger 750

It is a '71. Doesn't look anything like that right now, someday maybe. But it has that really cool drum brake on the front. Can you PM me your brother's email, I might have a few questions.
