Hello to all, the tiger seat, for long trips is a little tricky, especially if it takes two people on the trip.wen i ride alone I can still sit in a back seat from time to time etc., but with two people does not. I have always on a journey of +200 miles, pain in the ass... and I have to stop several times. Our friend Adrian has created a site that gives me much help, and he says that putting the seat sheep skin helps a lot ... someone has already placed? what do you think? i dont like to buy the gel gel for now( too hot summer, too cold winter), but the stock + sheepskin will have good results?anyone tried it? or any ideas? thank you 8)

damn looks like a bed! seems comfortable ... i need to buy one too.
I've been searching other forums and people say that the alasca leader sheepskin are the best, but very expensive too!
and these seats Corbin looks good!

but the best I have heard are the Russell Day-Long1 anyone have one? the site can not find the tiger ... : (
http://www.day-long.com/ (http://www.day-long.com/)
well, I've been searching a lot, about seats, in fact the russel are the best. I saw that is necessary send tyhe original seat to them to do the work, which is a shame, it was good to sell the whole seat. : (

Like the guy in the vid say's,
keeps you're butt cool in summer and warm in winter,
mine also doubles up as a pillow and chair pad when camping,and when
its cold i have a full size sheepskin that goes in my army sleeping bag,
its an amazing insulator,
once you get used to it being on the bike you will reap its benefits :D
many will poo poo the idea and say it looks ridiculous,im
always being asked why? from other riders and cage drivers alike,and i once ive
explained,its like "oh! ok",but you can see the scepticism in there
eye's :lol:,and i have a chuckle to myself,
its also great to stop beer freezing on those double figure sub zero nights
:roll: :lol:

cold Bear! good idea! what's on the bike? a trailer? yes, the sheepskin insulates much, no doubt! I was just playing because it is brown and resemble the skin of a bear! and up is good for keeping the battery always start well. I buy what I showed you earlier. Sheep skin + gel and then i get a large too! thanks

i hope the Gel pad works out for you,seems to be quite thick and thus
raising you up slightly,which is good if you have long legs :lol: ,if you
havnt then you may well be on tippy toes everytime you stop :roll:

well! major upgrade! too cold out there! but removed the screen of the tiger? Now the wind picks up all! I also wanted to see if buying a bigger, because the original already seems too small for me. I'm 1.92m and I have to buy two separate gel and sheepskin, because they not send them to Portugal! or the shipping is too expensive. i'm looking for them.

Hello! My sheepskin is already on the road! I bought this!
http://www.ebay.com/itm/160686007037?ss ... 904wt_1190 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/160686007037?ssPageName=STRK:MESINDXX:BIN&_trksid=p3984.m1436.l2650#ht_2904wt_1190)
wanted to take to ask what you bought from the screen to your bike, because I also want one, I suffer 1.90me very windy and cold. you got an MRA Vario?? but his is the vario Variotouringscreen or taller varioXscreen?o que acha dele?
thanks
Hey rcgomes !! that sheepskin looks grrrrreat :thumbsup
my screen is the MRA Vario and i'm 5'10" !! no idea if it'll work for you as your over 6' :shock:
mind an fix yer sheepskin down :oops: a couple O bungees should do the trick !!
KK
I use MRA Vario....
ride a 2006 Tiger....
am 6'-5" tall... works great.
POA: Use about a 1/2" round
spacer on the top 2 screws. That changes
the angle of the wind screen and it does a
better job.
Also, switch your screws to stainless steel,
make the top 2 screws longer.

I would like to know the measurements of the MRA VARIOTOURINSCREEN WITHOUT THE SPOILER to see measure to compare with my OEM's and and see how much I will get in size. I show here a poor grafic variotouringscreen! I know as long it compared to the original size in length excluding the spoiler! can help? thank you
BLACK is the measure I want to know, inside of red circle is the spoiler that I think I have about 50MM

are you talking about Personalise quit? improovment? upgrade?the mra hinge is plastic? the material is poor? they rust? will you show pictures or DIY? help would be great
now I'll write here what I think! cee Bayly screen is quite high, which at high speeds will surely make the bike shake! my OEM already shakes due to the design and the i show what I mean in the image below. Now the privileged crumb tiger 1050 X SCREEN Exits and aversion, which is larger. Ok I could leave my OEM and buy only the XSCREEN quit, BUT WOULD BE LIKE THE DRAWING BELOW. a screen MUST be streamlined and adjustable, only affect the performance of the bike. here's a drawing I made to give a better understanding of the solution. I've already sent an email to see if mra to sell the same 1050 KIT VARIO quit INCLUDING XSCREEN

MY VEREDICT:
OEM_-- BAD AERODINAMICS DUE ITS DESIGN, OVER 150 KLMH LIKE TO
TAKE FLIGHT
CEE BALY-- GOD FOR LOW SPEED TRAVEL, NOT AJUSTABLE
OEM+xscreen--- LIKE TO HEAVE A HOMME VERTICAL WINDOW ALMOST 90 DEGREES
BEST OPTIONS, MRA VARIO TOURING SCREEN OR/MORE XSCREEN TALLER SPOILER

I run a dead sheep on mine. It's good, although certainly doesn't make it a 1000 mile/day seat. Bit of a PIA to remember to take it off in the rain. Water doesn't hurt nothing, just takes a while to dry out and up till then it's like sitting on a wet sponge.
You can by fitted skins if cosmetics are of any importance. Mine is from Alaskan Leather and fits tidy and more importantly straps on, so when I stand at speed the cover doesn't blow down the road.

Sorry...
SHould have said...
I use black plastic spacers about 1/2" long and 3/8" diameter between windscreen and fastening point on the top 2 screws. That changes the angle and blows air over the top of my helmet.
it's really hard to resist helmet jokes with that sort of provocation
:oops:
you guys are a joy! I think I know what I'm doing. FIRST, install the MRA variotouring screen, then if it too short, i buy the 6wide vs 4 tall ceebayles and put the spoiler of the MRA on it! it seems that the ceebayles 4 inches taller and fits good on tiger looks good, but the 6 inch taller looks ugly. Another way is to put the screen Madstad( people tall good) that is ugly! I think the best thing is MRA spoiler + 6 "X4" or 4x4 ceebayles. the 6" tall is ugly , (remember me the bwm gs,narrow head of horse ) But my question is whether 6" WIDE will affect the steering angle?
I am afraid of is making 160 or 200klmh on the freeway and the mra spoiler fly away :lol:
I use an Airhawk on a long trip, but I'm warming to the idea of a sheepskin. We got a lot of sheep in Cornwall. And llamas.
As for your screen, why not look at Palmer Products? They make a highly adjustable, very durable screen for Tigers. Chris Canning will say it makes your bike look like a greenhouse. Well maybe, but they do a damn good job. I've used the stock screen and the MRA Vario and finally stuck with the Palmer. I'm tall.
If you do go for the MRA, don't worry about the top insert flying off. You can bet MRA have made sure it will never happen.
All the best.

can always buy an Australian like mine! after winter, washing machine and back to the house floor. the creen..i never heard of that brand, just ceebaileys, madstad, MRA , Jack Lilley.. this product is equal to madstad! which the price of Palmer? and photos? thank you. but ... I do not think very cute appearance! (It seems that the front is about to shed) I think a good screen + mra spoiler put the tiger LIKE FU ** kng jet fighter CROSSED WITH 747!! But I appreciate the palmer pictures and price. hug
i search aloot in the web,My head is baked because the demand for tiger screen and I found out that your screen is quite good! My question is this:
your right!!
the palmer lots cheaper than the madstad! and very good!. the only problem is people say, That That the fairing possible break or crack!(palmer biggest screen) so it is better to buy the medium size of the screen and put the mra spoiler on top ? for fast speeds etc? what you think?
less ajusters tool? whats this? no marked pictures in the website
and Palmer vs. madstad?
