    Hi,
    Collected my Tiger 900 Rally Pro yesterday, and just starting to get to know it - all good so far.

    Can anyone tell me the best place to hook up my satnav lead to an ignition controlled source?

    Thanks,
    Mike

    Hi and welcome.

    I hooked mine up in the headlight assembly.

    Thanks for your quick reply - How did you connect it - with scotchlocks or similar?

    Yep, just spliced a live, switched wire and an earth, using scotchlocks.

    Welcome to the forum :cool:
    I wired mine up to the horn using a piggy back spade connector. Wouldn't trust scotchlocks personally :)

    Hi all

    New to the forum and also new to considering a Triumph.
    Just sold my 1200 GSA, need something lighter and the 900 Tiger is on my list, together with the GS 850 Adventure.

    Question to Maxply - just how tall is the Rally Pro?
    My inside leg is 31" and I could just about cope with the 1200 GSA height.

    Haven't seen either bike in the flesh yet but planning to now the first glimmers of normality are starting to appear.

    TonyP, If you are coming from a GSA you should be fine with the Rally seat height, or the GT is lower so that is another option. I came from an Africa Twin Adventure Sport which I was finding too high & heavy, and the Tiger is significantly better fro me on both scores.
