    Have been looking for a toolbox for the tiger for a while. Seems like there are millions made for the GS, but not for the mighty Tiger...maybe because the GS are more in the need of tools? :yum
    Found a video on the great school of youtube on how to make your own tube toolbox from some plumbing equipment. But that seemed like to much hassle, so i saved that as plan B.
    Here’s the video, in case anyon would like to try to build one:


    Anyway, ended up buying the Givi S250 Toolbox. Haven’t found any good reviews on it for the Tiger, so I just bought it to find out. They don’t make a bracket that is made specially for my model, so they said that the universal bracket would do the trick...weeeeellll...they where not 100% correct. The bracket was no problem to fit to the bike, but I had to drill 4 new holes in the bracket, otherwise the box would sit to high an wouldn’t fit. So drilled 4 holes, and voila!

    No it just needs to be tested, and we how it does on and off road :)

    Anyone els have any experience with this og similar?

    Got one of those on my Transalp, they do the job at minimal cost but nowhere as flashy as the Givi or Touratwat items :D

    It did, had to drill new holes to mount it and got longer bolts to replace the pannier bobbin ones but it worked ok for £12. Always got really filthy though with road muck and chain oil.

    No it just has a twist on Cao but it never worried me - only had spare bulbs and basic tools in it.

    I fitted one to my Explorer last year. It didn’t need any extra holes drilling, in fact it was quite straight forward to fit.

    Nice, mine is XCA, wonder why mine didn’t fit. You use the original panniers as well?
