Wednesday we set off for the drive down through Spain. Mods are nearly complete for the bike including fitting Hepco Becker engine bars, Triumph panniers, Hepco Becker top box. Bags Connection quick release tank bag and LED cruise lights (fitted to engine bars). Will post up some pics shortly, before we set off. Looking forward to getting away from this rain!
Awesome!! Have a great trip. I've wanted to travel through Spain some day and hope to whether on the bike or not. My uncle lives in Southern France and it's a great place to start my trip. I really hope to do so some day. Good luck! 8)

Roadie Tiger handguards?
Blimey Stretch, that was a fast reply! Yes, Roadie handguards.
Im quite impressed with the LED lights, the pictures dont really show them off well. It was quite bright sunlight outside. Realy bright white light, ive also replaced the sidelight bulbs with LED's which are much brighter.

:headbang all done my friend...rockin' !!
Great website Dave,
Me and the wife are planning on riding up from Santander to Roscoff next year and then catching the ferry back to Plymouth.
By the way where abouts in South Devon are you, can't be to far away from me in Torquay.
All the best.
ALAN
Brill, you'll enjoy the trip, its fab. Not far from Torquay at all. Im in Paignton.
Ah Great,
I will have to keep a look out for a beautiful yellow tiger so i can check out your driving light brackets, they look superb.
Maybe i will catch up with you on a wednesday evening at the bike nights on Paignton seafront.
Cheers!
ALAN
Sounds like a good plan, do you go down most weeks?
Thanks for the reply Dave,
I haven't been down there since i bought the tiger about 4 weeks ago,
but i will start going again now.
After all it is only a five minute ride for me.
Cheers!
ALAN
Just looking at the pics of the Tiger ready for touring and noticed a couple of bits which may compliment my bike being the LED lights and the full handguards. Where is the best place to shop for these?
Ian...
Hi Berlinboy, the handguards are available from any Triumph dealer, they are accessories for the 1050 Tiger. The lights should be available from any good car accessory shop, they are made by Ring and are called LED cruise lights. If you do have any problems getting the lights, I can source them through my work for you.
