Mounted when I purchased the bike. They are scuffed from previous owner drops. (Don't buy your daughter a Tiger for her first bike).  Mounting bolts included, but I do NOT have instructions. Bit of a jig saw puzzle, but very doable. $100, plus shipping. USA. I should add, off my 2010 Tiger PM for more info....pics     13

Been looking for a new bike for a while and eventually settled on an 09 Tiger. As of yesterday this now belongs to me. Needs some a little tidy up in places but otherwise all good!   15
New Members / Re: New old Tiger 1050 rider« Last post by OX-34 on 05 February, 2023, 07:03:13 am »I took the bike out for an Iron Butt Association 1600km/1000mile ride a few weeks ago with just a jerry can to test its ability for a longer ride. It passed the test so I'm planning a longer ride.
Today I finally fitted up the auxiliary fuel cell to my Tiger so it now has 38 litres on tap. :  In the mean time I picked up a few extra bikes. A current model Goldwing so my wife is comfy on the back seat:  A 2014 Honda Valkyrie to ride around on:  And just last week something very different for me, a 2010 Can-Am Spyder. A mate and I are planning doing some Iron Butt Association rides on it this year:  16

Works as advertised, but the fit and customer service was terrible. I ended up fitting it like a regular cover, ie with a stapler. Pic of the cover before attempting to fit  17

Tiger's Den - General Discussion / Re: Lowering Kit« Last post by Bender on 04 February, 2023, 04:55:22 am »fitted a Protec adjustable lowering link. dropped it 45mm I think. Because I forgot to measure the height before I started (too exited ). dropped the front by 21mm. Bike feels good better balanced a little firmer to tip in. have to go for a long ride to determine the changes but initial feeling, it is an improvement, I can get both feet on the ground now, I am 5'8"
