Here are a few ways of improving long term Tiger ownership.
Thunderbike crash-bars
An absolute must have. They really do work. I had 3 small "Offs" either off-road
or at steep off camber junctions. No damage to the bike. The screen, tank,
mirrors, indicators and bar-ends were unmarked. Absolutely Brilliant! My top
rated accessory. Makes the Tiger look well 'ard.

Garmin Nuvi 360 Deluxe GPS - My favourite toy.
I upgraded my Quest SatNav to a Garmin Nuvi. Full European Maps in
3D and it plays MP3's and holds UK Speed Camera Alerts (All for
£185). The only problem is this set-up was not waterproof. The Nuvi
is also a blue tooth hands free so it tells me when the phone rings and
I can read texts on the move. Quite a neat bit of kit. Great in the Car as
well.

"Lubetronic" chain oiler from Motrax.
This device uses a solenoid wired into the ignition circuit to
automatically dispense the oil. I like Scottoiler's however as
the carburation on the Tiger was perfect I did not want to
adversely affect it by tapping into the manifold. Neither did I
want to invalidate the warranty. I use Scottoiler delivery
tubes and Scottoiler oil. The first chain was replaced at
20,000 with little sign of wear! (Much better than the good
old days).

I also fitted the optional electronic oil supply control (Picture lower left) and switched to
"Fast" oil. It worked well. It was siliconed to the rear mudguard and the adjuster was
accessible from behind the left side panel.

To make both lights work in dipped beam and main beam on UK spec Tiger 955i's you have to replace a missing
solenoid. See 955i Servicing page for details. This was my first modification in my first week of ownership.
