I've got a 1999 and it a 18/48   It's stock

Quote from: "walker"I think the stock size for the 1999-2000 Girly was the same as the steamer.... 17 / 48... I suppose you could go by displacement? 885s would be 17/48 and 955s would be 18/46.

steamers and 885 FI bikes are 18/48 stock sprockets
955I's are 18/46 stock sprockets

I've been running 19/43 for the past 8K miles and am very happy with the combination.  The reduction in crusing RPM is quite nice and I haven't lost much in the way of "get-up-and-go".  I'm back in Alaska, on my way to Prudhoe Bay (the North Slope) and will be heading south-east to Key West, Florida in a couple of weeks.  Dang I love my '05 Tiger! :D

DOH! you guys are right - I wasn't paying attention (my excuse for not getting reading glasses)..... I have the triumph kit on the workbench for the 1999-2000 model, and it does have the 18T front and the 48T rear.

I think bikebandit has an incorrect description that says 17T in it, which I'll pretend led to my confusion.

My mistake.
