    I love my Tiger Sport but felt it was too Black so made a few changes







    I have replaced the rear bodywork and front mudguard with Crystal White items to match the other bodywork and also replaced the Humongous Triumph Topbox with a colour coded Smaller Givi. I love it.

    Next step pillion cover.....
    I never touched it, you can't blame me, it went off when I was cleaning it.

    Can't find one I can buy so making my own. As I never take a pillion rider I take the footpegs off but to pass the MOT it has to have the rear seat covered.

    Rough first lay up of fibreglass over seat ( Covered in tin foil ) and insulating foam to create a small hump.

    I never touched it, you can't blame me, it went off when I was cleaning it.

    Not quite finished,  a few imperfections in the paint and an air-bubble in the fibreglass but they can wait.

    I love all forms of DIY, custom solutions, etc. I've made a few (like my adjustable windshield mounts) that got mixed reviews. For me, this one is a no. The bike looks less busy without it, IMHO. But if your boat is afloat, damn the guys in the water, right?

    Well i like it, good job Woodie  :028:
    Really good for a 1st attempt, looks a good fit to the seat.
    Is there something similar that gave you the idea for the shape?  :047:

    The seat has a small hump just behind where the rider sits so emphasised that and tried to mimic the shape of the tank.
