Touring??

[BIG BILL]

To all you Tiger Tourer's
I have just purchaced a new tent for my start at Touring again.
It is 8kg in weight about 17lbs, can I strap it to the top of my Givi top box or is it too heavy??
I don't really want to remove the box and use the rack as I will be carrying my young Son and he likes the security of the box behind him.

Cheers  BIG BILL

That's a big arse tent...

 Strap it on the side mate, not on the top...

[BIG BILL]

Mark, I'm a big arsed bloke :D
The Fazer I had before would only take 10 kgs max on the rack.
The tiger looks like it will take 80kgs?


Cheers again  BIG BILL

It sure does take a lot on mine but then if in doubt add a ratchet strap under the side pannier to the frame for extra support..

 The lower the weight the better...

See you in June, Just down the road for you int it?

Might be worth trying it on the seat in front of your top box with some foam round it if your youngster is not too big.
