Tiger 1050 Underseat Toolkit... "Make of Buy" decision.

Hey guys...

Sorry about the barrage of questions. :eek:

My Tiger didn't come with an underseat tool kit. (was it supposed to :confused: )

I definitely want one in there but I know that sometimes the OEM kits aren't the best deal for the money. I could just as easily buy a heavy duty bag and build one myself. My Daytona underseat kit is actually somewhat handy because it has the chain adjuster for the Single Side Swingarm but other than that, not much else special in there. For the Tiger, I imagine all the tools being somewhat conventional.

What do you guys think?

Don't know if it was mean't to have one, but mine has one in Triumph Pouch, three spanners and a screwdriver. Its located
on the underside of the seat retained by a rubber strap. Not
much of a kit but was free!:D
but I do carry other items torch,tyre repair kit/inflator, cable ties bulbs, fuses, spare tips for Scottoiler
and rubber gloves and a couple of relays all these are in a plastic waterproof box in the underseat storage

How old is the bike and is it still under warranty ??

If so, have a pop down to your Dealer and see what he can do. That's if you are the original owner of course ?

However, if you've had the bike a while and just discovered it hasn't got a tool kit, you've just lost all your "man points" on here :)

I find the tools I need to pack with me by putting the tools I use, while working on the bike, in a tray or similar. I only use those tools. If it becomes apparent that I don't have a needed tool in the tray, I add it.

All the tools I feel could be needed on a trip, easily fit in the under seat storage area.

No torque wrenches, mind you, but you can estimate how hard to pull.
