Steamer Winterproject

Hello all,

Two months ago I bought a neglected 1998 Tiger 900 yay!
Since I had to scrap the Sprint 900, because of an accident, I’ve always been on the look out for a successor.
The sprint I had was converted to a caferacer, now I have a 1200 Thruxton so the café part is sorted.
When young I have always loved the looks (and sound) of the enduro’s like the Yamaha xt500 and Honda 500xl. I wondered if a stripped t400 could be as handsome as those 2.
On the internet I found some pictures of to scrambler converted Tigers, so that gave a good idea of what is possible.
The plan is to revise/overhaul what is obvious and necesary, and the rebuild with nice parts from across the t300 range and some t709 parts.
So yes, the beginning is there. I started stripping the bike to discover what base I have.
So far, I saw I there is a challenge for the swingarm and the cilinderhead.
Till next time!

Tjeerd.
