Wow! A subforum just for the Tiger! Cool!

Hello all, I've been running a 955i Tiger for two years now and love it to bits. This was to replace my Varadero which was bought to replace five Africa twins in a row!
The Vara was bought as I couldn't get a new @T but I found it too lardy and not quite the bike I wanted. I decided to try the Triumph and haven't looked back. Unfortunately Triumph have evolved the Tiger into a multi strada by any other name so I''m unsure of my next change so we'll see!
For now I'll stick to my 955i, a cracking bike, which I've learnt a few tricks about and will answer any questions Tiger owners ask on the forum.

Here's mine, a pic taken in the Alps following the Stella Alpina rally two yrs ago.

Very nice
One question,your Renthals,what bar end weights are you using?
I get white finger at motorway speeds without any!

I've Renthal bar ends to match the bars, I couldn't really say I've any vibration problems to be honest. Took a lot of work to get the heated grips to fit though, much work with drill and grinder! Possibly the heated grips keep the vibes at bay?

I have a pair of R&G bar end weights and crash protectors in a "universal" (I assume 22mm) fitting, I got them from M&P and then found they don't fit the Versys (M8 threaded inserts in bar ends), they cost me £25 +p&p, make me an offer if you want them otherwise it's something else for eBay
