Firstly may i say,these are nothing to do with me or the person,but a true rarity,i use the cheaper 7 spoke alloys,were as these are the real thing,if you have either a 99/885 onwards or 2001/04 955 spoke wheel they will fit.

Looking at the pictures and the guys answers,the guy selling them,never did his homework(easily resolved) with the speedo and front mudguard,if you've ever dreamed of a Tiger that steers like a roller skate and takes you into another world with decent tyres,a great opportunity.

What i forgot!! someone paid thick end of £12/1300 for them new,and they weigh nothing,so with the reduction in wheel size te-boot,the bike will change direction just thinking about it!!,and are they easy to clean!!

I bought them! Got them for £275 and apart from a couple of nicks on one of the rims they are mint! Going on my 2003 Tiger.

I'm debating where to draw the line though. Not happy with the brakes so do I upgrade to floating EBC discs and EBC pads?

Think I'll replace the wheel bearings as a matter of course. Going to get some lovely Road Pilots to go on them I think.

WINGER - you seem to know your stuff - whats the best thing to buy to convert the speedo? Also, what's your comment about the mudguard?

If you have any other tips I would be grateful. Only got the bike this year (had a 955i Daytona before) so it's getting the treatment this winter.

Ride safe!

You need one of these to convert the speedo,http://www.yellr.com/

Just wire it in and leave everything as is,just make sure it is high enough up the speedo wire so you can tuck it away out of sight under the front fairing,i bought the rear half of the front mudguard pre drilled from a shop in Germany(i might have done another copy somewhere) and you can buy the lower plastic fork straps from any Triumph dealer it's genuine part

Re tyres,either Mich Road 02's or Dunlop Road Smarts,more than enough grip,and they both wear well.
