Tiger 1050 handguards on a 955i

Though this might be useful to someone.....

Tiger 1050 handguards will go onto a 955 - with a small amount of alteration - here's how I did it.

First, you need to cut back a little bit of plastic at the bar-end end of both guards to fit the larger bar-end of the 955. Not much, see pic.

Don't use the pivot bolts supplied with the handguard kit (they are the wrong size for the 955) - instead reuse the stock bolts. To do this I needed to enlarge the lefthand handguard bracket top bolt hole to 8mm. Then the stock pivot bolt will fit straight in ( and you might want to grease them up at this point - mine were dry - thanks Triumph! ). You also need to reshape everso slightly the lefthand mounting bracket to the fit over the clutch housing. Finger job.

The right hand guard (once you've filed the plastic back) fits stright on.



Here's how they look on.






Nice job for a rainy day
