The boxes and the barkbusters look a real solid bit of kit will be good to see them on the bike.
Oh Yes,

Which version are those and size? Do the leave room for passenger to have leg room? I like them. I switched out the triumph top box for my old pelican im2600 storm case and was considering the same for side cases. But those look like you could haul some serious stuff!!! I loved the storm case on the FJR and like it better than the triumph top case except the whole matching Key bit....

Hemi, Well I'm looking at a few stickers coming to a post box near you soon, that might go very well with your 2 new additions. You've definitely got room for your sandwiches now.

I see that you might have a sat nav too, along with the Go Pro, just don't forget to pack the kettle for a CUPPA when you go to TRAMP.
I bet you can't wait to go now.

They are the 47 Liter Denali cans, they measure 20"H x 18"L x 7.5"W

I tried to grab some photos that might show some of the passenger room. Happy Trails state they are positioned to allow room for a passenger.

Don't ask what size they are, all I know is they are Kim's garden shoes. Not sure if these help or not.

Are you putting a tool kit opposite the exhaust can?

Yes sir. I ordered their tool rack for the mounts. The mounts need to be drilled for the tool rack so it will have to wait a little while before I get that done. Dern shift work, my get up and gone done got down and went.

Well I was able to hold off to my birthday to install the Barkbusters that Kim had me order for my birthday. The camera died before I could get a finished photo with the shields installed. After doing this, II suggest anyone else looking to do the same to not do it the way I did. Do yourself a favor and install the shields BEFORE you install them on the bike, believe me, it will go much easier.

Barkbusters has a bike specific model for the 800/800XC/1200 Tigers. You may have to order the wind deflectors separate, this depends on the retailer you use. I used RevZilla which sales the Barkbusters with the deflectors as a package. The set I bought was the Barkbusters Storm.

There was a storm moving into the area so I didn't roll the bike outside for better photos.

Yes, they are supposed to work with heated grips. There was several posts on Adventure Rider talking about them fitting with the heated grips. I may find out for sure in the future, I have heated grips but I haven't installed them.

I did go out and grabbed a couple photos with my phone. I'll do it proper tomorrow.

I had to give the Barkbusters a try today. I didn't much about them while riding, they felt like they belonged there. The bar end weights are great, I didn't notice the normal buzz from the bars.
