I see there's an ever increasing number of folk who I wouldn't class as DIYers,here's a few photos of whats under the tank,I'm sure there are others on here but as I'm in the process of preping the bike thought I'd do it anyway.
Air box minus the filter that slots in the letter box

It's only held on with 2 screws and wiring and the vent pipe.

When you lift the airbox off this is what you see.

excellent photos - thank you.
what are the 2 white connectors bottom right of last photo.
They both connect to the tank,the small one on right side the larger on left close to were the two male fuel pipes in the photo connect too.
Damn sight cleaner than mine Chris :D

I did mine that long ago can hardly remember what it was like stock,but as i recall it was a major difference,hopefully others who have done it of recent will put their two peneeth in.
Airbox mod works fine, make sure there are two snorkels as later 955s only have one.....easily cured though.

Thats interesting as I've had 2 airbox's my original 2001 and another off ebay age unknown and neither had 2 snorkels,I thought it was the 885 that had 2 :?
I never had the tank of either of my 885i's,I never trusted e'm at the best of times never mid taking them apart.
Yep 2 snorkles on my 885i, no airbox mod as the blanking plate was metal not plastic, but have since learned you can get around it. K&N fitted in the spring....and yes it has awakened the beast :twisted:

Have you modded your 955 airbox or fitted an 885 one,it's funny in the fact must have had my airbox off a dozen times at least,but only this time looked at the snorkel etc and thought 'What a crap idea' the way it's hidden behind the bracing plate on the frame :roll:
Airbox on mine is modded by cutting a hole in the opposite side to the snorkel where the 855 would have one and a purchased snorkel inserted. The baffle plate has been removed.
It would not be good practice to just cut the hole and leave it as the airbox temp sensor is adjacent. The rush of air past the sensor would let the sensor give a false reading to the ECU.
The idea is good all the time the airbox is recieving cool air but as soon as the temp goes up, ie stationary, one would hope the sensor would not go out of range, but there again it is a French built ECU from a car.......eeerrrrmmm.

Hmmm,I'll think about that and give it a go,but it'll have to wait,no time for R+D :D
Shame Triumph can't make a complete bike at the weight they are without the tank/seat battery!!!,just about screwed back together,usual Triumph start up like a bag of spanners,switch it off try again,perfect :roll:

You'll note were I keep the tech stuff on the wall of cars from years gone by :oops:

Not so obvious untill I saw it on the photo,the water mark at the bottom of the hose,do folk still have the original ones on??
Chris,
Could you tell me what make the hand guards are you have?
Thanks
Touratech,Spud has e'm and they are also on the 885i thats forsale in the adds,the sting in the tail is!! if you look they are quite high but thats an add om and cost even more :roll:
On the 885 you can the extra bit is white.
:bowdown
Chris, that is the cleanest Tiger I have EVER seen. You are the Man!
Are those the stock rims? Love the black.
Easy to fit but "how F..king much" expensive but to be fair they work well weather wise and did protect my hand when I was crossing a ford and hit a wall at slow speed. If I can remember how to post a photo I will cheers Spud :wink:

Well had a bit of a calamity during winter my vintage twin tub washing machine that I have in the garage for doing my bike cleaning cloths threw a rod during the winter and trying to buy another has proven to be a challenge!!!,but got a newer model last week only 20 years old and normal service and clean rags is resumed :oops: .
The wheels are Dymags.
By any chance was the twin tub made by Rolls?
Had one at home when I was a smaller kid.
What is under the tennis ball?
Twin tub is Hotpoint :oops: ,the tennis ball?? do you know I get heaps of questions over the years either on the net or in person and yet must be the oldest trick in the book for travelling,top has been cut off and it has a piece of sponge in it for cleaning my visor on the hoof,the real trick is to carry a tiny bottle of water,the size of which you get in hotels with free samples in and a spare piece of sponge,because if you let the sponge dry out,the wind has a habit of sucking it out of the tennis ball, small bottle out of a side pocket,hand to wife,she unscrews the top and poor it in the tennis ball,well some of it,the wind has the rest :roll:
