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

Visit this post where Klingklang put on his Heed crash bars:

I used to have long hair, took acid and went to hip joints. Now I long for hair, take antacid and need a new hip joint

Order is in for the heed bar set.  Should be here for the weekend.  One nice thing is I will have a nice bracket to hang my light bar off as the light output from the tiger really sucks compared to my trophy at the mo even with upgraded bulbs.  Going to check alignment of lights first and then may have to go outside the box.

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.

Quite possibly which would make yours a 99,mine only lasted 6 weeks and they gave me another in the May of 99 better than my previous Africa twins and niether could hold a candle to my 955.

I hope we got it sorted. Please ignore the peanut gallery tossing stones...

Tell us how things work out and post a pic of the crash bars on the bike.
:thumbsup

Very nice my friend. Tell me something because I have same Tiger. The bars are plug and play ? No mods no nothing? Easy to install?
Thanks!

Bar are a bolt on mod.  kit comes with everything inc a few longer bolts if required.  I think i used one bolt on the front left engine mount to make it easier to bolt back up.  WORST part of the whole job is the bloody stock radiator brackets.  you have clearance on all the bolt holes execpt the darn radiator brackets.

I just mounted my combo spot/flood light off the front of the crash bars.

I'll be interested to how they stand up when someone chucks a bike down the road,hence why I like Touratech.

John Stenhouse

I have chucked mine down the road on SW Motech ones, OK it wasn't at speed and not on tarmac but they stood up really well, they're still on the bike and the only thing I changed was adding a set of handguards as the only thing bent was the clutch lever.
