The more I look at the Tiger , the more I like that screen,
so has anyone thought of putting it on a Thruxton or Bonnie ,
I know it has a dual headlight setup but I think it might work
out ok.

Have a genuine screen at the moment ,but not happy with
it at speed.
To any Tiger owners, how efficient is its fairing, and would
the mounting points work on a Thruxton.

Also is the dual light an improvement over just the one.

Some time the road less traveled brings with it the best surprises.

Whoa, not a bad idea...... now I gotta go look at a Tiger and study what they have.

I tell ya what, riding in the sub 50's lately has sure got me wanting some hand guards from off the Tiger too..... might THOSE fit on our Bonnie's?

Handguards possibly would work, and the OE ones aren't too expensive. Might be better off trying generic ones though.

Can't see the point in fitting the Tiger's screen and fairing to a Bonnie though - it would be an awful lot of work, and quite possibly expense too. Tiger owners usually have alot to say about the screen and it's efficiency - I have no problems with mine as stock with the trim removed, but some will bleat on endlessly about aftermarket screens.

The headlights aren't brilliant, but substantially better than the Bonnie's as stock.

If you really want added practicality - ditch the twin and buy a whole Tiger.
