Some Extras to make Tiger 1050 ownership even better
Tool Kit Holder
The standard plastic Triumph Tool wallet is useless. As
a replacement I bought a denim pencil case from a £1
shop. The standard Tiger tools are shown on the right
and the extra tools I carry are shown on the left. i.e.a set
of Spanners, a set of Allen Keys and a set of Torx keys.
BMW GS1150 Handguards
It pains me to have to buy anything from BMW but their
hand guards look good on the Tiger 1050. You may have
to tilt the bars forward or trim the underside on full lock. I
bought mine from Motobins.co.uk for £53.
TIP: Use some threadlock on the bar end bolts to save
doing bolts up too tight which will crush the plastic.
A Fender Extender is essential to keep the muck out of
the oil cooler. From the sticker it appears that the Triumph
OEM item is made by Pyramid.
Triumph Tiger 1050 Tail Pack
A great bit of kit. The Tail Pack does not effect the handling.
However it prevents me swinging my leg over and the contents
are vulnerable when parked.
TIP: The Tail Pack carry handle will mark the finish on the
tailpiece so you must fix some clear film on to the Tailpiece
under the handle. (See Extra's 3).
