Nice!!!

Enjoy that engine Thumbs Up

You gunna get yourself a top box? I would suggest not getting the Triumph one as I don't believe you can even fit a full-face helmet in it. Personally I have a Givi box on my Tiger.

Maybe, not too sure. Might just get a waterproof tail pack.

I had a triumph top box on my Tiger 955i which was awesome, might see if I can get one of them and mod the rack to get it on the Sprint. Not sure how it will look.

The manufacturer panniers that came with the bike are tiny though! Rubbish!

Yep! They do look good on the bike though. I'm guessing yours are both 24l ones.

Due to where the oem exhaust is on the tiger i get a 24l and a 19l !

Ive got a smaller/lower/louder Very Happy exhaust on mine so i can fit 2 37 or 45l trax panniers (when i can afford them) More room for stuff!

As for the top box, it does end up making the back of those look very high. May be better off with a tailpack, or tie down a waterproof holdall size thing if you need the space.


Anyway, real nice looking bike, in the best colour too!

Excuse me ! The best colour was the original bike in black. Cool

I looked into (not literally, staring into empty plastic boxes doesn't interest me) a top box for mine and priced up a Givi one - problem is it appears the Givi one attaches to the standard rails without the panniers, ie if you get one you have to ditch the panniers, which is a bit daft! Might be wrong, but that's what I was told by the dealers I was in at the time.

Mine has a Givi back box and Triumph panniers. It is a 55 plate though, maybe they changed the setup later but it looks the same.

I can't remember where the Givi bracket goes, I'll have a look and let you know. The pannier rails are the normal ones though.

I always looked at those Sprints and thought, 'f*ck me those are big'.

But you are a big lad so it suits you perfectly Thumbs Up

Lovely looking bike. Smile

As you can see there's a long triangular bracket that goes under the pannier rail. "The tube" then carries on an attaches to the pillion hanger bolt.
