just wanted to share some thoughts about my favorite extras.
top of the list has to be hagon fork springs.stick with the oil and air gap they recommend,the springs are made of thicker material than standard and are also tighter wound therefore needing less oil to fill the same fork tube as the old spring,hence the air gap remains as standard.the springs have much improved front end dive,especially with luggage on board.
second best is my datatool digital gear indicator,this has proved to be an essential item and i dont now how i ever managed wihout it,some soldering required and carefull reading of instructions,but well worth it.
lubetronic chain oiler was already fitted to bike when bought ,so were front and rear mudguard extenders.

Ok, I am seeing alot of comments on mirror extenders. Where can I order them? I am not finding them anywhere and the local Triumph shop seems to think I'm from Mars. I actually saw some on a Tiger in Medina Texas last weekend but like an idiot never thought to ask where he got em.. he did say they made a world of difference though.. so here I am willing to spend the cash and can't find em..

also.. intercom's.. bike to bike? front to back only? music?
I want to look into that whole idea.. saw one with cell phone and mp3 player all tied in with the intercom.. along with the GPS.. where do I start?

Try here:

or here:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/TRIUMPH-TIGER-...QQcmdZViewItem

But after looking at the ebay post of the item it would seem that kind of adapter could be sourced here:
http://www.mcmaster.com/
type in "long rod nuts" in the search box.
Might have to drill and tap for correct thread size but would save a bundle even if you had to use a heli-coil insert to get it done.
