so ive had me tiger a about 4months now thought a wee update on the farkling is in order :lol:

so this was the day of collection



first job was the chains and sprockets i went for a 19t font and std rear and the head races needed sorting too


front and rear calipers needed a complete overhaul too !

 im happy with the way she feels at cruising speeds now  :)


then i obtained some HIDs for the headlights and some BIGmofoHID spots for the crash bars   :D



i had a remus revoluton sitting on the shelf in the garage so ordered a link pipe , man she sounds sweet  8)



a set of heated grips , palmer screen and voltmeter and a home made satnav mount and some Rox Risers from my GS  :D
 



i was after a corbin seat and was wondering if they were made of unobtainium :lol: but Chairhead came to the rescue so a few adjustments made to the topbox mount and comfort is assured :D


and mustangs footpegs arrived yesterday , that seat those pegs have transformed  the bike  :D

and not forgetting the mascot provided by my youngest :lol:




 all i need now is to pick up a K+N filter buy a big box of chocolate biscuits , and pay metalguru a visit so he can work his magic on the tune   :D  8)



im really feeling the urge for a good long run now :D :lol:

It is in the UK as well,you've got a better chance of winning the lottery 3 weeks on the bounce than getting done for a non original HID.

Rox risers give approx  50mm 2inchs of lift and allow you to push the bars back or forwards allowing you to find the best position for you . in short they are bloody ace :D

the ones im using have an anti vibration bush in them , but i would just go for the STD ones as i never noticed any difference between these and the std ones i had on another bike  :thumbsup

I havent heard of Rox before (nothing new), risers.  I have the pivot pegs on the tigger and not the mustang pegs so it is still a bit cramped when when standing up on them. It would make it easier to adjust back and forward the touratec units hit the screen or the tank without much effort.

how do they adjust for high and low beam?
