Triumph Tiger 800

They're really good tyre. OE on my Girlie and I kept fitting them for 48000 miles but after all those happy miles decided to try some Avons. The girlie gave 8K on a rear and 12K on a front.

Slight correction for you.

Very nice.



Love that blue..

JM.

Ditto

That is a great looking bike !

XD4 all day every day. long highway trips I take the visor off and it's smooth and breathes great. i don't fiddle with tented visors. i just bring along goggles.

Shoei Neotec for me.

I don't like having a visor at higher road speeds. The Neo works well in the dirt or on the street. It vents really well and is comfortable. The only downsides are it is a very physically large and heavy helmet.

I look forward to some photos and a review.

Did they have the upper mud guard "beak" in stock for your roadie. I tried to get one here in the US and the dealer could not even find it for the new blue 13 model.

I'm picking up my '13 Sapphire Blue Roadie this Saturday (hopefully). The dealer is installing some factory farkles for me as I type this, which was to include the beak (they said 'everything' was in...), so the blue beaks are available in the US.

New (too me) Tiger is home and resting in the garage.. im looking for a center stand and thinking I read something about recall's on the center stand???

Do I stay away from the OEM?


Also, why is the rear seat grey (light black at least) and not the same color/material as the front portion???:huh:huh:huh


thanks,

No problem with the OEM. I think they made the changes to it around a year ago now. I purchased one and installed it myself. Works great.

It has been a few months so I will check back with my dealer. Sounds like it is available now.

Thanks.

"light black" :huh

They're all like that, funky. Maybe they got a deal on material or something.

OEM center stand works great for me, haven't heard anyone complain since the design change.

triumph center stand is fine.

because that's how they are made from the factory.

Maybe the pass seat color is supposed to help hide boot scuff marks. Mine is scratched to hell from my boots. I agree that it looks off.

If you first put your left foot on the peg and get on like a horse - and get off the same way, you won't be hitting your rear seat with your boot.

The stock passenger seat is a perfect match for the Triumph Gel seat.

Me too. Either it's the tallest bike I've ever had or I'm getting older.... or both.

You might try lifting your foot straight up and directly across the seat, instead of swinging over the entire seat. Before you say you leg doesn't go that high, I'm 62(making me an official Geezer) and it works for me.

Thanks DD, Looks like I'll get the center stand and probably the bash plate from Triumph and pick up the crash bars else where. The Altrider bars look pretty nice although I'd probably paint them black to match the frame.
