Tiger Explorer Help I Have A Rattle

Don’t worry about it’s it’s normal, in fact as it gets older it’ll get louder. It’s called the sliding carriage, google it and all will be explained

 

Agree, it’d do my crust in if it were rattling all the time, I’d have to sort that somehow and rubber spacers sound the way to go, just make sure the securing bolts tighten properly.

 

Or you could take the mounting plate off and put the blank back on. Or get another make of top box and mounting system I don’t know if stopping the ‘sliding’ affects the handling or not when the top box is on as it’s there to help it, allegedly

 

Or remove the top box altogether!

 

It’s the mount that rattles not the box!

 

If you remove the box then you don't need the mount - simples!

 

But then if t21972 wants any luggage he’ll probably end up with the butt ugly as wide as a wide thing panniers,,,,you know the ones

 

On my previous Tiger I had the Triumph top box c/w a sliding carriage.
I wanted a larger top box as the Triumph top box was heavy and only 35litres capacity so I took the sliding carriage off, fitted a Givi top box adaptor plate and used a larger Givi topbox that I already had.
No rattling and I didn’t notice any difference in the handling

 

No point in having an adventure bike if you don't have the panniers

 

When I’m finished making NUDGERS panniers and top box carriers does that mean I can call him an adventure bike

 

I would thing so mate - you've already called him Nudger!
