Posted: Thu Dec 06, 2007 7:02 am Post subject: Anyone put Luggage on a 2007 Yet? |
|
|
Well, after months of messing around... my beloved 2005 Tiger that was hit back in August when a Volvo turned right from the middle lane... is looking to be totaled. Even though she came home once, various electrical problems follwed & now the guys insurance company is about done paying repair bills. The bike starts & runs, but in the cold weather she starts, stalls, broken idle... mess... my Dealer thinks its the computer, but at $1700 for a new computer.. the insurance company may just total the bike.. I am wicked sad but life goes on.
I am looking at finding a left over 06 (maybe)
But has anyone put any aftermarket luggage on a 2007 model just yet??? I truly hate the new Triumph bags, my friend has them on his Sprint & they suck. That exhaust sticks out there quite a bit, I wanted to see if anyone has had any luck mounting aftermarket cases.. givi, hepc becker, touratech.. ect???
Photos.. this is a major factor, as passenger comfort & luggage are big decision makers for me. I am also looking at other bikes, hate to leave Triumph, but I need something really functional. Everything about the new Tiger is smaller than my 2005... need to see if things can be made to work?
Thanks so much everyone!!!!!!

I think the 07 would make a great bike but if you are looking for an 06 I found quite a few of them and at some pretty good prices. Good luck. I'd love to see some pictures of the 07 with after market luggage.

Man, I love the look of this, does not look like much room for a Passenger tho? I would love to see a dead on shot from the rear with any type of luggage, just to see how far out that exhaust pushes it on the right hand side???

There's a solid-looking 05 on eBay.

I was watching this one but the bags were pretty beat up and it looked like the disc was rusty. I figured I'd put new bags on it but the price would need to be reduced by a fair amount to interest me.

You may want to look into the Hepco & Becker Jr Flash bags and H & B detachable rack. Left bag is a 40L and right is 30L.

I am about to put SW Motech EVO racks on mine modified to be equidistant to take my Trax boxes.
I have already changed my end can to a Zard to get the necessary clearance, quite a few have already done this mod.

If I was going to put aftermarket bags on the 07+ bikes, I'd move the exhaust out of the way first.

The H&Bs compliment the lines of the bike well. Kind of a retro thing going on there.
Redbird - What was your source for that setup?
