Looking at my '04 Tiger, it seems to me that directly behind the left side passenger footpeg would be a great place to carry something. There's a fair amount of room between the footpeg mount and the swingarm/chain guard etc.
Maybe a canister for tools, chainlube, pickled herring, wine flask?
Any ideas; pictures?

I had the same idea as you, It makes a great place for a tool kit. Here is a link:http://www.triumphrat.net/tiger-work...nier-rail.html

I finally decided on a metal cash box from a Stationary wholesaler and it's just a case of attaching it to the pannier rail. I'll post a photo when I get it done.

Thanks graeme,
I look forward to seeing the pics.

I've put my Scottoiler reservoir there.

I have put a tool roll there.

A welding rod case - great idea fano!
The rest of the bike looks great too. Looks like it's set up pretty well for backcountry exploring.
Thanks

fano, when I read the first post on this thread I just knew you were going to show up with your cool tool kit

Just a repeat of my other post.

I finally got round to putting a box on my pannier rail. It's not ideal as I have to unbolt it every time I need to put the panniers on, but will do for now.

It's great for carrying tools, puncture repair kit, tyre levers, chain lube, etc.

hey Graeme
Good idea.
What sort of crash protectors are those?

graeme · 05-16-2008

TT,

Thanks.

They are Touratech. I pondered for ages trying to decide which ones to go for, and when you actually see Touratech's on a Tiger you realise they look the best (IMHO) with their flowing lines and robustness.
