So I got all my factory accessories installed by the dealer, but I forgot to get them to run wires for my GPS while they had tank off... any advice on running wires for Zumo cradle?
Pull the plastic off the left side and run the wires along the frame. I think I only used two zip ties.
Ok got the measurements for the Triumph option. They are roughly 3 1/2 by 2 1/4 inches. Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk 2
This is what I ordered with my new 2013 800 XC... arrow exhaust A9600341 adventure fog light kit A9838003 center stand A9778005 sump guard A9708233 Engine protection bars A9788004 low gel seat T2304372 adj. high wind screen A97808248 City tank bag A9510087 tank bag harness A9510083 Alum. Radiator guard A9708234 headlight protector A9838007 gps mounting kit A9820001 aux. power socket A9828005 My biggest disappointment was the Arrow Exhaust and mapping. The "soundtrack" isn't significantly different, the weight savings isn't that much, and I can't say I notice the extra 3 to 5 extra bhp. A lot of $$$ for so little. Everything else listed above has been great additions, in terms of fit, function and appearance.
Basically the only thing you get for real with the Arrow can is lower mpg. The rest is not even worth looking at.
What tank bags you put on your Tigers? Besides the Triumph I've seen some pics with Wolfman tank bags on but don't know what models
I've been wondering what options are out there myself. I have the Engage Sport from Bags Connection that I love, but it's the wrong shape/dimensions for the Tiger's tank. The model that would fit the Tiger, the GS Evo looks flippin' sweet, but its a pretty hefty price tag, especially if you don't have a tank ring already. And you can electrify it too, but by then you're creeping up on $500 Besides the Wolfman luggage, the Giant Loop bags look pretty nice:the Diablo and larger Fandango. I like the way they can be zipped on and off of their harnesses. I have to wonder though if the zipping on and off thing gets old quickly.
Blew the fuse on my heated grips last night. Home this isn't a repetitive problem. Gonna get some more spare fuses, just in case.
I assume they're the factory heated grips? Did you have any other electrical accessories going at the time? I just got done installing mine about 10 minutes ago. Haven't had a chance to try them though.

Heres another option a Carbon fiber hand guard for 96 bucks. Seller has an ebay store. They are also selling carbon fiber versions of all the Tiger 800 plastic parts.
I use the Bags Connection Micro but I only keep my phone, wallet, and a few nik naks. I also use the lock ring on the gas cap. Works perfect for me.
That's pretty much what I have, but also have socket extensions and tyre pressure gauge and one of these little compressors
