thinking of buying some crash bars

[fattyjr]

Now I am reasonably happy with my tiger, I am thinking of some crash bars.  I found a set I like but they are for the 955 tiger.  Mine being the 855i.  I am sure I read somewhere that the 955 ones will fit but they interfere  with the 855 oil cooler.

So my thinking is why not move the oil cooler into the same place as on the 955.

I had a butchers at the oil cooler pipes and there seems to be plenty of movement in them.  Only thing not clear to me is how do the pipes run between the exhaust pipes?

You can install HEED crash bars. Feets both 955i and 885i. Small search you will find the topic that someone installed on 885i with pics. O am looking forward to install it too.

Thanks for the rely,

I saw the topic on the heed bars, but wasn't sure if he had the 855 or 955 .  I wish people would say what their bike is.

Most people put which bike they own in their signature, you might like to join us

Don't think there is enough room in the signature strip for my bikes.

A 98 885i Tiger now there's a first  :icon_wink:

Help me... help you... The year 1998 was a transitional year for the Tigers. 1998 was the last year for the 885 normally aspirate (carbs) Tigers. 1999 they came out with the 855i and the "i" standing for fuel injection. So you have 1998 855i...

The only way I can clear this up is... which one is your bike?

Yeah... and your location - so we can call around and criticise you curtains

I am as confused as you are.  I have an 885i like the white one (is it white) not the streamer.

Acoording to the guy i purchased the tiger from and the logbook, it's a late 98 bike, that was registered in early 2000

Will have to post up a pic

It may have been manufactured in late 98'

But it is a 1999 model year , if it isn't a steamer
my model year 1995 was manufactured in 1994

The VIN #would be low then.

I have a steamer on a P plate, first registered Feb 97?

If you email Triumph (I'll check the email address) CoC, they will provide a statement of facts regarding the production date and market spec.

I had one of the very first ones they built,that early that even the after market pipe that Triumph were selling for the bike didn't even fit  and that was March 99 I can assure you there's nothing earlier.
My second one came in may

I have no reason to doubt the previous owner of my tiger, but it doesnt really matter.

Whats to say your bike and my bike came from the same lot.
