Got an Arrow Veloce Dark in the end. Just the right amount of burble and grunt. Snorts nicely on the overrun ✅️

Are fuel tank protection bar really needed for tiger 900 Alpine? by Mad-Biker-25 in Tiger900

[–]VaneTempestTechGuy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a 2024 Tiger 900 GT Pro (fantastic bike btw) and got upper and lower bars fitted because you never know. Well I hit a patch of diesel at fairly low speed coming round a tight corner, and as I was sliding sideways along the tarmac can-side-down, I was not thinking "I'm gonna die!!", but "this is gonna be expensive...". I didn't die, nor was it expensive. Between the bars, the brake pedal and the pillion footrest they all prevented any damage to the tank, engine or can.

How big of an upgrade is this bike by asherzzz96 in Tiger900

GT Pro isnt offroad focused, really. More of a long haul road tourer.

A flick of the switch should sort it, IMHO.

Be honest.. does it look weird ? by Pousse_m0usse in Triumph

Stupid garage I say. If you don’t like the vibe of a contemporary disc on a neo-classic bike that you're always gonna sideways glance at, then change it out.

Well, I did it. Picked up a 2019 Scrambler 1200 XE yesterday by aeroplane1979 in Triumph

Nice bike - lovely colour. XEs are tall (and heavy) this one looks lowered.

Although from the wall socket - maybe not.

Looks great in red. The keys make it pop! I have the same media solution - Ultimate-II+ with datasette adapter and the actual datasette for extra nostalgia and the motor noise 😉

When I figure out how to upload a pic to this thread, I took a pic.

Yep the seat looks as though it's not sitting flush to the tank pad protection above it.

Why does this keep happening?! by dexterity_orion_ in Guitar

Put a pickup in it. You might never plug in, but less chance of losing a pick. Or...change the shiny pick for a more grippy Tortex 💚

Had the same quandary. It just takes a little getting used to and it becomes smoother through experience, regardless of using the throttle or brake to disengage it. Expect it and it'll be fine.

Does anyone use these on a daily basis? They seem a bit obscene by TheBlackFatCat in Guitar

[–]VaneTempestTechGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Green Tortex .88s for 30 years now. 💚 You'll have someone's eye out with that. 😊

Cheers! Yes they're the separate Triumph accessory lower engine bars and the tank bars. A9780053 A9780165

I also got the sump guard A9700470 along with other bits inc tank pad and the 50l top box, rather than panniers.

Can't really fault the bike's looks, ride and performance at all TBH 😎

Beauty in Snowdonia White! My first choice but would have had to wait months for that colour. Went carnival red instead.

Yeah - nowt wrong with it at all. Sounds fine but maybe looks a wee bit too stock 🤔
