Hello All, About time I joined, been riding Triumphs ( mostly ) since a Tiger Cub in 1965 ! Now own a 2017 Tiger Sport. I can't fault it. 2 years ago I did a 10,000 mile trip on a 2014 Tiger and the only thing that crazed me was the side-opening panniers, so now looking for box type for another long trip. Any suggestions?
Hi mate and welcome to the forum Sorry, no advice on the panniers as I always travel light with tank bag and soft luggage on the back seat, inside out, back to front etc, etc
Jim H Welcome to the Family. We will need a picture of the steed to keep us all calm for Nursey while she gets the meds. Ride Safe Joe.
Welcome, old newbie! I'm in the same tribe. After 35 years of nonriding I had a relapse. So happy so far! Enjoy the ride!
Welcome aboard Jim. Have a look here, I had some of these on a 2016 Tiger and they stood up to some punishment You get what you pay for though. https://bykebitz.co.uk/luggage/motorcycle-panniers/aluminium-panniers.html
Hi Jim I started in 1966 and I had '59 Tiger Cub. Did yours run at night and in the rain? On the other hand they do build character. Wish I still had it.
I think mine was a '59, rode it 30 miles back to college on a sunday night all through winters of 64 & 65, never let me down but went into ' limp mode' sometimes!
Hi and welcome to the forum Not sure what alternative panniers you can get for the Tiger Sport (I have a Tiger 800). Mine are the top opening, alumnium box style ones - Expedition I think Triumph call them. Bloody brilliant and totally practical. Don't really like the side opening ones - why would you design something where everything falls out when you open it?
