Just the triumph mount ring for my Givi quick lock bag. It's huge.

I need to sell the FJR. Beer making season is about to start and I could use the space. That picture just reminded me how packed my garage is! Sigh.

Looks good, Adrian.

Home made swingarm spools....

 

[otherwise]

Well done with the home made swingarm spools.
In my younger years I was a fitter & machinist so I'm capable and well understand the process.
I'm just too lazy when this worked, mine don't look half as good as yours.

 

[CarlS]

Lovely work; I envy your skill.

And so it continues with the free stuff sent from triumph.... Rode 425 miles yesterday, averaged 55 mpg two up in some southern Missouri Twisties... Fun day with some old friends I've known since second grade. Different rides but I'm no snob.

You will find most things can't really "hang" with a Tiger. Better ground clearance than most sport bikes....the Triple engine is awesome off the line AND if any other 2 wheeler is getting near you ....just head OFF road lol......yep Tiggers is AWESOME!
Great looking mods !!

 

[CarlS]

Tigers do it well. Nice top box.

 

[Name Etc.]

OK so I don't dig the tall screen. Short Screen is better for me. So to get some quiet in my helmet... and because I like being able to hear my wife... I ordered a Madstad Engineering Tiger windscreen. I am short, so I had to order a shorter one than they did offer on the website. I have not received it yet But I will report back. I did however get my Free incentive heated grips on before winter strikes in the south of the US. Got wired for heated Jacket and did some more dirt touring. Not sure I dig Rocky roads, they feel like you are going forward and sideways and you do what the road wants not what you want.... I need to find forest roads and packed dirt.

Nice pics. I know several Tiger owners who have Madstad screens and they are sold on them. I have been to the shop and the owner is a great guy who stands behind his products.
