Looking into trading in my Alp for a similar big trailie. There's a nice nearly new Tiger 1050 going on Autotrader that doesn't have ABS.

Would you recommend getting this fitted retrospectively and is it even possible?

I see Triumph quote £550 to add ABS to a new non-SE version on their configurator site.


Thanks

Hi

I would doubt is can be retrospectively fitted, at least not without spending a hell of a lot.

My guess would be that you would need replacement wheels (or maybe just disks) to trigger the sensors, different wiring loom, ABS pumps and lines. Different clocks and master cylinders also wouldn't surprise me (although I suspect they are the same).

All the best

Keith

And a lot of those parts you will require more than 1.

Why do you feel that you need ABS?

Contrary to what BMW would like you to think, ABS is not required to ride safely.

Going on my experience with the Transalp riding around London for the past 3 years. It's saved me locking up the front wheel a few times - when someone stepped out without looking or a car stopped for no apparent reason.

Could always ride more defensively or work on not locking-up the front but good to have a safety net when the first two fail.
