Hi everyone just got my first triumph tiger 1050 after having 4 other bikes by other manufacturers decided to go for a change and i think its great.
Hello Lloyd and welcome in to the Triumph Asylum - Nursie will be round soon with your 'meds'. Tiger 1050 - a cracking bike. You know we'll needs pics, OK ?
Hey Lloyd, welcome from the land that has no autobahn speed limits (it‘s a myth though... we have more road construction sites than beer bars these days... ) Anyway, enjoy the forum AND your Tiger of course... Cheers!
Thanks everyone good to be here ill take some more pictures. Do you think this mount on the back is a universal top box mount or just a plate to strap a bag to or something
Hi, Lloyd and welcome. Nice bike. If you want a top box then you will have to buy one with its own mounting kit, by the look of it. Many have a mounting plate for the box, which has to be fitted to the carrier. Givi do mounting plates for their boxes, and there will also be others.
Cheers Steve for the advice just never had a bike with a top box before so new to this about how they mount
Do Demon Tweeks have a retail shop at their place on the industrial estate in Wrexham? Could be a good starting point in your quest if they have. Kappa and Givi both have the same fittings so either make of box will fit one type of plate if that helps. If you do get a box, don't overload it as too much weight therein can upset the bike's handling - don't ask how I know that, just think '69 Bonneville doing a low speed 'tank slapper'.
Yes they got a good shop there so ill go look at there top boxes. Yes cant imagine having a lot of weight will do the bike many favours
Hi thanks for the advice i was thinking it was something like that and its worth a try anyway so ill just have a go
www.squaredeals-ltd.co.uk had two sizes in their clearance section. I had one similar to the smaller one on the back of my Daytona (when I had it).
Cheers everyone ill have a look at both them sites you suggested and measure up what will fit. Its great this forum because some you go on no one helps each other out and thats whole point of it
