Thanks LMT. I'm actually trying to get rid of it in favor of a Thruxton though...we'll see if I can swing it (and then how much, or if, I'll miss the Scram).

The Tiger's currently a 1050, with what I'd consider "very limited" off-road ability and a 17-inch front wheel that was spec'd to be able to fit a wide variety of road tires. The older 955 cc version was a bona fide dual sport bike.

Here's what I saw: http://pure-triumph.blogspot.com/2010/03/new-triumph-tiger-sprint-st-trophy-and.html

If it was worth seeing, why the hell would I be asking for an undistorted one? http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_fBNc7sZsHCY/S4YBaeUdZZI/AAAAAAAADk4/ab3ftzzdc_0/s1600-h/gooify.jpg

I've seen a grossly distorted photograph of a Tiger that's supposed to be built and in in the testing phase...looks like it was taken through a glass block. Anyone have an undistorted version they'd be willing to share (privately or publicly)? I heard this is supposed to be an 800 to 900 cc...

Anyone have an idea just how far off the indicated speed is on the Scrambler/Bonnie/Thruxton? I'm guessing as much as 10 mph at indicated speeds of 75 to 80 mph but I haven't packed my GPS along on a ride to verify that.

I don't have an EFI Scrambler but I thought one of the biggest issues (maybe the only issue) is getting a new computer "tune" loaded for whatever changes you make. Several of the U.S. parts dealers sell computer interfaces so you can do it yourself; having never used this I'm not recommending...

Hopefully the grab rail is what I'll have on there most of the time...I'm not planning on doing too many overnighters on my Scrambler. Main reason I want this is so my kid will have something behind him when he rides with me (for his peace of mind and mine). But I won't buy the grab rail until...

I don't think they were "wrong" as much as they were "unwilling". Moot point now...I should have one of those high-priced Burton seats that looks like the originals installed before Good Friday.

Thanks Guy. New Bonneville actually sent me one of those photos when we were trying to figure out if this can be done. That black bag looks way better than the red one they show on the site. Still have my fingers crossed that I can make all these parts fit together...

If you have the part number, you can get it through bikebandit.com (and get a 10% discount if you're an AMA member).

It doesn't use the top of the shock as the forward mounting point, which makes it significantly different for my application. Otherwise, I'm not sure if it's much different from the Renntec. I have a Lucas tail light on the way, which I really don't want to permanently hide under a rack...

That "top of the shock" mount is what I expect to cause me grief. I have the Triumph "City Bag" mounted on my bike so I can commute when the weather's good, and it mounts in the same spot. I hope I'll be able to mount the Ventura L-bracket over the city bag rack or vice versa. As an...

Jed? Is 'at you Jed Clampett? I heard Ellie May had one of those new-fangled Triumphs... I've seen/known about Ventura racks for about 18 months...but that has got to be the most STUFF I've ever seen strapped to one. How hard was it to ride the bike? It looks sort of like a beanbag with...

Thanks Joe. I'm going to try to mount all of this stuff together...I think if I mount the Ventura rack next to the shock, and the City Bag rack on the "outside", I might be able to make this work. Hopefully nothing a few minutes with a grinder can't fix...

Sorry...I dicked up my original post and left out this other sort of weird angle from the Jack Lilley website (the only other photo I've seen): http://www.jacklilley.com/view_part.asp?category_id=7&category_type_id=105&part_id=6141 Between these two odd angles I can't really tell what it...

I'm really trying to find a way to make the Ventura rack work with my factory "City Bag" mount. Do any of you have a photo of the left side of your bike with the Ventura rack installed? And can you tell me if the forward mount goes between the shock and the bike, or on the outside of the shock?

Alright...I got no bites at all on the thread about using a Ventura rack system with the factory city bags, so I started looking at other options. From what I can tell, everyone but Triumph uses the rear shock mounts to install luggage racks & grab rails (correct me if I'm wrong). So I...

I just ordered that same Burton seat for my Scrambler...I really, really hope that it ends my quest for comfort and an authentic/original look. Though it wasn't indicated on their website, Burton offers a gel option on these seats...another £55 for the riders area, and £95 for the rider &...

Normally brown wouldn't make my list of favorite colors for anything except boots. You could probably say the same thing about unpainted aluminum...but that look works for me on these bikes (and the single-side high exhaust doesn't hurt, either).

I have the CRG LS on my Scrambler and I really like them...both the look, and how much more I can see compared to the stock mirrors.

I have a factory City Bag mounted on the left side of my bike. Pricey, but I use the bag as my briefcase/laptop bag even when I'm not riding the bike, so I can sort of justify it. I'd like to mount a Ventura Rack (oldest son wants to take a summer trip on the bike with me) but I'm curious...

That was actually the very first thing I did. The outfit I talked to said they couldn't get around the factory "hump" in the Bonnie seat. So what I might do is get the Scrambler surfboard (though you guys now have me worried about the gel version...it gets pretty damned hot in Texas) and look...

Still researching seats and stumbled across these Italian-modified Scramblers from TPR: http://www.tpr-italianfactory.com/model/urban-scrambler/
