    Looking good,
    Well done!

    Ps
    I can see the difference now that it's fitted between that rack and the one for a zzr.

    Thank you.

    That photo was taken prior to the Gi Pro being fitted.

    Having seen a ZZR with those cases the difference is clear, thanks for sending me the linky for those cases as well by the way ;)

    I'm pretty much done with adding the extra's now, maybe the spot lights but that would finally be it.

    Yeah spots would finish it off lovely.
    Saucy enough price wise though.

    Posted the link on the other thread from ebay the other night, €225 for the set, was told 3 hours labour to fit which would involve the tank coming off. Have you got them on any of yours?

    A lad in UK on a Tiger forum makes those for members.
    Nice work and powder coated and they bolted on by two bolts.
    They come as a single unit.
    I wired them to a switched live wire and also put a separate switch on an infill near the handlebars.
    I think they were around €120.

    Lovely looking bike, is that the one you sold in recent times?

    Its actually gone a year and a half now.
    Good bike though.

    I've posted this before but my brother who has a few bikes but is more into cruisers and stuff and was a courier I'm London for years, well he called to me one day.
    He was doing a charity thing with a friend but couldn't find the keys to his shed so he asked me could I give him a bike for the day.
    I gave him the Tiger.
    He came back and asked how much do I want for it as he loved it so much.
    I told him it wasn't for sale so a few weeks later we both went off up the country looking at a few and came with the one on the right.

    The photo is a bit dark, we had weird skies the other day when I got off work and decided to have a little trail fun on the big GS before heading home.

    Thanks, believe it or not it was taken in the Phoenix Park.

    There's a lot of tree felling being undertaken between the Conynham Road IN gate and the Furry Glen (in the gate and take the left turn at the fork, St.Mary's Hospital is to your front).

    Its just enough to have a little fun kicking out the back tyre, getting the bike a little mucky then taking photo's to make it look like you've been really adventurous out in the rockies somewhere :D

    I had the little F850GS down there too.

    If you're looking for somewhere for a few nice photos and a little light trail riding then I'd head up to Ben of Howth (the summit, but not the car park summit).

    If you're heading up Howth and want to get some 360% views of Dublin and the whole bay give me a shout (you still have my phone/Whatsapp?) and I'll hook up with you if you're unsure of the route.

    If you put it into your GPS it'll take you most of the way, but then you get to a 'private road' sign (which locals ignore) and then you're on a short rocky trail to the very top of Howth.

    On a good day the view's are worth it

    I took this video when I brought my old Vstrom up there, you'll get the gist.

    The island's in the photo are Ireland's Eye and Lambay Island.

    For info, there is a colony of wallabies living and breeding wild on Lambay Island since the 19th century!.

    and then blast across the golf course on the way down :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,362 ✭✭✭✭Hotblack Desiato


    Lambay Island is a nature reserve, no permanent human occupation although there is a castle there. Bull Island has the golf courses (two. bloody golf)

    Scrap the cap!
