    Hiya peeps

    I'm about to pick up my first ever Triumph (a 2010 Tiger 800XC)

    The bike is really low mileage and spec looks great but wonder if anyone has any advice/tips etc for me on the bike.

    Front fogs with aluminium guards.
    Centre stand.
    High touring windscreen.
    Handlebar grip guards.
    Engine guard.
    SatNav power socket.
    Height adjustable seat.
    Clifford alarm
    Helmet lock
    Rear removable panniers

    I intend to use the bike as a bit of an all rounder, occasional light off road, commuting, also would love to try touring for the first time!

    Any advice/help welcomed

    Cheers

    Paul

    Welcome Paul.

    Feck me, you don't ask much do you? ;)

    btw, ther are plenty of Tiger owners here will give you good advice. I'd ride the bike for a few miles first and find out what the standard screen feels like. There are various options if the standard doesn't work for you. And I think some of the other items you'll find are standard fit.
