    hi there,i took delivery of a 14 plate tiger sport last month.230 miles on the clock at two years old.my previous ride was a much modded vtr1000.a brilliant bike but due to a couple of old injuries it was getting uncomfortable.the sport is a great armchair in comparison.and im throughly enjoying it.the only bug is the suspension.any tips or mods would be greatly apreciated as this seems to be holding back a great bike.i think i can see another winter project coming,

    hi,nice bike you bought.
    I see you had a much modded VTR 1000. To be fair I dont think you will ever get the TS handling like the Honda did. Not saying you cannot improve it a little, but I wonder if that would suffice for you. In the other forums I frequent, the TS gets great reviews,mainly from older guys who dont fit sports bikes any more, perhaps that is the trade off. Sorry I cannot help you

    Hi SK and welcome to the funny farm.:eek::D

    I've no experience of your particular model of motorbicycle, but, I have a Hagon rear shock on me Trident 900 and had a Nitron rear shock on me Daytona CE 955i when I had it, both being superior to the standard shock(s) as fitted by Triumph.:) Depends how deep your pockets are really. Is there a suspension setter upperer in your area that could help you? Might be worth enquiring.

    I don't think there's that many TS owners on this forum.
    Lots of knowledge on the 1050 Tiger Sport forum(not that I've been checking :rolleyes:)
