Title: Silver topbox for 2006 Tiger wanted
Post by: matteblack on January 05, 2010, 01:48:53 AM
I just picked up my new (to me) bike - a gorgeous 2006 Tiger in Silver. One of the few things I'm missing is the topbox, which I would love to get if possible. I know I can go the Givi route, but I'd like to have the stock color-matched Triumph box if possible.

Thanks!

If no one pipes up, keep and eye out here and on eBay.  They do come up in silver now and then.

Don't forget that for a reasonable price a good painter can match the color for you.  Also, check if the top box for the Sprint ST and Trophy are the same.  Seems to me they are.  That broadens your possibilities.

I've used a big 47 liter Givi (on my Sprint ST), and the Triumph box (on my Tiger).  The Givi was a bit better for big grocery runs.  It was a little taller, and took full grocery bags standing up.  The Triumph box is better for large 30 pound bags of dog food.  It is a bit shorter/lower, but a bit wider.  Nicer looking, too, in my opinion.

I think for packing nice clothes for a ride to a convention or some such, the Triumph box is a little nicer.  Better carrying handle, too, for taking inside.  For camping gear, I think either is probably fine.  I can get my climbing/work pack into the Triumph box more easily, because it is a bit wider (or is it longer?).
