I wanted heated grips but I prefer to avoid the thick, shinny grips you normally get. Therefore I purchased a Symtec
Heated Grip kit. Symtec supply 2 heating elements in thin mylar which adhere to the handlebars. Then I fitted a set of thin
Renthal Medium Compound Race Grips over the top (See link to Winding Roads). This gives me the best of both worlds.
TIP: I fix my grips over the top heating elements with double sided Golf Grip Tape using Lighter Fuel as the lubricant.
(Leave overnight to evaporate). Easy to apply and relatively easy to remove. The end result is a Heated Grip that is thinner
than a standard unheated Triumph Tiger grip. I fitted the switch for the heated grips to a home made bracket left of the
Speedo.

The handle on the Triumph Tail Pack rubs against the
painted finish on the Tail Piece and leaves a mark. So I
stuck a piece of clear (Fablon) on the top of the Tailpiece.
Then then put a Triumph sticker on top of the Fablon.
I think every Tiger should have a Triumph Sticker here.
TIP: This sticker came from a Sticker Sheet which used to
be a genuine Triumph Accessory - Part No M9110002

The standard Tiger seat is comfortable for about 150
miles then is starts to hurt so for long motorway trips I
add a Sheepskin 'Pet Blanket' which I bought on eBay
for £10.
TIP: I cut the Sheepskin to size and hold it in place with
a large elastic band at the front which goes round the
seat. This allows me to stand on the pegs without
losing the Sheepskin. My sheepskin is named "Sean"
after Wallace & Grommit.

I have fitted a Cargo Net from Oxford Products to the
pillion seat. It is attached to the fabric loops you can
find under the standard seat, I use 4 small zip ties.
The Cargo net is perfect for stowing oversuits, spare
gloves, cans of drink, sandwiches etc. Ideal for quick
access during a long day in the saddle.
