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.

Triumph Tiger 1050 Handguards (2011) below
On my Tiger's 4th birthday I decided to fit some proper
British Triumph Handguards. Needless to say the
Triumph items fit very well and the mountings are all
stainless steel. They do not interfere with the leavers and
they have a cleaner look to them. Note my new Progrip
801 Grips.

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 Extras 3).

BMW GS1150 Handguards (2007)
I bought my Tiger in 2007 before Triumph made their own
Handguards so I had to fit a set of BMW GS1150 guards.
They worked quite well.

At 20,000 my original chain was needing adjustment after every ride so I fitted a
new Tsubaki X-Ring Gold chain and sprocket kit. The Triumph OEM item was
the best price but I wanted a Gold chain, I avoid Renthal alloy sprockets
because they wear quicker than tyres. This kit was good value from B&C
Express. Don't be tempted to buy a cheap chain from eBay unless you are
selling on soon.

I bought some blue anodised adjustable leavers off eBay for £15 each,
CNC machined, beautifully made. The span has 6 settings making them
more adjustable than the standard levers and suit my shorter fingers
