The Tiger 90 put up as the header pic today with tuner/co-ownder A.J. Lewis on the left, rider Bruce "Boo Boo" Pierson center and co-owner Sam Dockery right.
When people say Tiger 90 , I always think of the revvy unit 350 Twin , but of course the pre unit single is the original . Didn`t Turner put the first Speed Twin into that frame?
Yep, The frame/gearbox was unchanged for the Speed Twin, and the whole gearbox mounting arrangement ends up being pretty flimsy with a hopped up twin on that factory rigid set up.
The Show & Go Cycle Shop is my private two car garage located in the foothills of Central CA. I am building everything from early Desert Racers - Street or Strip Dragbikes - 1960's Style Show Bikes - to 70's style Radical Choppers. Specializing in Pre-Unit construction 650 & 500 twins and vintage aftermarket parts identification. Buy, Sell, Trade, parts made by Webco, MCM, MCA, Bates, Flanders, Wassell, Superior, Routt's Cycle, etc. Period photos wanted. If you have stuff for sale related to what you see here email me. I will post pics of my projects from time to time and keep an ongoing thread of pictures and old magazine articles featuring modified British Motorcycles from 1946 onwards.
