Fourth set of Extra's for the Tiger 1050
Small Tank Bag
I hate large tank bags so I attach a small camera bag to the
fuel tank with magnets. This bag is just large enough for my
Wallet, Keys, Phone and some loose change.
TIP: I stuck some clear film on to the Tank to prevent the bag
scratching the paint.
Suzuki Bar End Mounts
I get some vibration through the handlebars. I think it
Hand Guards. To counteract the vibration I have fitted
bar end weights from a Suzuki GSXR 1000. All big
Suzuki's vibrate and their bar end weights are
machined from solid stainless. The Tiger bar end
weights have a rubber centre which makes them too
light. The extra weight from a solid lump of stainless
does help reduce Vibration.
TIP: You really need a lathe to trim the weights and
shorten the boss that fits inside the handlebar.
I finally got around to fitting my Triumph 12v auxiliary
power socket. With the Tank removed I found the
12v connecting plug taped up near the injectors. I
removed the tape then simply plugged the connector
into the accessory plug and bolted it to the mount.
It only took a couple of minutes to fit which is good, it
took me a whole year to get around to this job which
is bad!.
On the move I sometimes listen to my Sony
Radio SRF-M37L. The presets are easy to
use with gloves & it is water resistant.
Battery life is an amazing 40 hours plus
from 1 AAA.
To my knowledge no one makes a small
RDS equipped radio. Honda have a part for
the Pan European at £500+. Ouch!
