Some stupid questions

[bunker]

Ok, dumb questions time (sorry); the steamer is currently sitting on mismatched boots - MT90 on the back and Anakee on the front.  The MT looks like its not been on long but the front will definatley need replacing and i'm thinking of matching the MT's up - will mostly be riding on the road mind.  Are there meant to be inner tubes as standard on the Tiger? I'm sure one or other of the tyres said it was tubeless, but i hear of folk changing punctures at the roadside etc, so whats the score? Tube or tubeless or depending on tyres?

Next dumb one - engine/crash bars; is anyone still making them for the old steamers? I've seen Triumph online ones but only for the 885i and onwards.

I'll stick with 2 dumb ones for now - cheers

Steamers have tubes but you can run tubes in tubeless tires.  I don't know that there are many options out there anymore for tubed tires in our sizes.

As far as engine guards go, there are the Thunderbike ones from New Zealand or the Hepco & Becker ones.  Being that you are in Europe, the H&B ones should be fairly easy to get.  If I remember right, there is a place in the UK that stocks them.

Theres a set of engine bars on Ebay UK as we speak.
