Hi from the uk.. brief intro, i have owned my Tiger since 2001 and i still have her, she has a baglux tank bag for my JR dog, touretech rad/oil cooler guards, touratech pannier racks and Alpos 41 ltr ali panniers,touratech quest mount,Gel seats, powerbronze tall green windshield, i also have the original panniers, i have a LED battery status monitor ( changes colour when charging or with engine off) best investment so far as i had blown my RR and Genny a years ago.
I love this bike so much i have no interest in no others, but i have booked a test ride on the 1050 tiger to compare to see what the hype is about....
I also have a 1981 Honda XL185s as my commute/work/offroader/fun/daily bike.
I am 5'8 tall with a 28" inside leg which is not the best size for tigers, but my riding experience is on my side with this machine... and thats it
We are still an item and she's proven to be worthy :wink:
Ps what a brilliant forum, i am a mbr of various forums and i must say this is one of the better ones, keep up the good work, and i love the names steamer/Girly and Roadie....

have you ever thought about turnin the rear excentric adjusters 180 ( upside down ) and drop the yokes down the fork legs, it should lower the bike about 40mm but as they say, if it aint broke, don`t fix it !! :)

looking good..
here is my 01

I think that's the Bagster tank bag and cover. Sweet that they sewed the stripes into it! :D
I thought the stripes were a nice touch too. Is it me or is the windshield a green tint too?
Couple of nice pictures there folks...
I thought they were going to have bikes in them... :lol: :lol:

That`s a minter you got ther Regie!
I am growing fond of that Roulette green.
She's a beauty yes me old's that is the best colour ever, and the tank cover is a baglux which holds a huge tank bag or any other type of bag it is also available in a variety of colours.

And the screen is a powerbronze screen in the colour of your choice including green, it looks like they do more than screens now.. i bought the screen in 2002 and its still on..

and she still looks good now as she did in 2001, my next move is to fit alpos aluminium 41 ltr boxes on....
I have tried the dropping of the yolks by an inch and turning the adjusters,but it did FA for me apart from handle like a pissed rhino and it felt rubbish.. so i ride it in standard guise but i dont mind the one legged stops.. i must say when i saw the other foto of the other tiger i thought for a minute some one had stole my piccys.. :wink:
Also, since there is no Baglux importer in the US, these guys will ship from UK to USA:

The cover is 77-100 UKP depending on color.
Geof
The bag i have is a Dzeta bag which is a large capacity tank bag and both cost me about £60 from the NEC motorcycle show birmingham, in which i had to haggle with the traders but it paid off... and it carrys my Jack Russell.
i also have made my own carry table when i dont use the top box
