Fourth set of Extra's for the Tiger 1050
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
is caused by the Motrax Crash Bars or the 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 standard Tiger
bar end weights are much lighter. 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 mounting
hole on the frame.
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!.
Sometimes I want to listen to a radio on the
move so I use a Sony Radio SRF-M37L. The
Sony is reasonably water resistant. Battery life
is an amazing 20 hours from one AAA battery.
To my knowledge no one supplies an RDS
equipped radio suitable for a bike except Honda
who have a part for the Pan European at £500+.
Ouch!
