Triumph Tiger 900 GT Upgrades and Accessories

[@DaveDemase]

I put the Grip Puppies on my GT Pro this week based on your advise. They eliminated the last remnants of handlebar vibration I had been working to remediate. To date I had added Handle Bar Cap End Plug units that weighted the end for the bar. This reduced vibration by 70% alone. Next I found that Sport Mode caused less noise at the bars as well. The Grip Puppy addition took the issue to 100% remediated with the added bonus of not interfering with the grip heating function to a large degree. After riding a sport-tourer for the last 20 years I wasn't seeing getting used to the small diameter stock grips on the Tiger, so the added girth of the Grip Puppy was also welcome. Also, I had already done the Givi D6415st windscreen last year and was completely satisfied with the results there.

Good video. I got the 23 900 Rally Pro. I too got several items from Ali Express..the headlight clear protector w included mtg bracket, and radiator guards too....and a rear tire plastic fender and the Fenda extenda from Ali Express also. I got the same risers but from Germany..pricey but indeed helped a lot. I went with Mosko Moto soft bags and Outback Express Bash and lower and uppper crash guards... spent a year researching which ones and the geometry so has to not cause damage, common to other bikes perviously. I too want the Zumo XT2 and mount. What tank pads ("Tiger) did you get ? Those look good. I put on some others cant remember...from Austraila though..and also the Angel clear protector like you got...except mine was the "dull" "flat" non shiny one. Works well. I"ll look into your seat pad..they help a ton and I love my Cruiser bike...pad..same one you mentioned earlier that you used. I'll check yours out as Ive never heard of them. I went with 46L Givi Domomiti top case with rack too. ...Oh and Grip Puppies also. What process do you use to clean your chain. I'm doing mine soon for the first time. Nevrer had a chain drive before. Great video. thanks and enjoy!!

Thanks for watching. I got my chain maintenance kit from Amazon. It's called Motul Chain Care KIT Road and works pretty well. The tank pads came from Ali Express too. I recently went looking for that exact item there but I couldn't fit it but I saw lots of options on ALI.

Hello Please is it possible to now the total length of the side cases from the right side to the left side. Thank you for your help. Filipe from France

[@nicein2000]

@@filipedl251 I think you want to know the width of the bike from left to right with those cases installed? If so, it’s around 101 cm (40 inches)

[@filipedl251]

@@nicein2000 yes exactly thank you so much and excuse me for my bad English 🙏👍 Best regards Filipe

Thanks for sharing. I'm loving my Tiger 900 GT Pro so far. Looks like you also have tank grips, where did you find those?

[@nicein2000]

I got them from aliexpress. I forgot to mention them in the video but I just added a few links to the products list near the bottom of the page here: lifeafter40.net/triumph-tiger-900-gt-upgrades-accessories-june-2023/

[@kee7678]

How does your GPS do on that bracket....do you get a lot of vibration where its hard to see at all?

[@nicein2000]

I haven’t noticed any vibration. Visibility has been good

[@josephsaia5527]

What about heat issue on the left side? I hope it's fixed on the 2024 I just ordered

[@nicein2000]

Are you referring to the radiator fan heat that blows on your knees on both sides? I wonder too if that's improved on the 2024. It looks like Triumph might have tweaked the vents in the 2024 model. I added some deflectors to my 2022 model, which helped a little. I don't notice the heat when I'm wearing good textile riding pants but I sure do feel it if I'm in jeans.

[@ed.t.hansen6499]

what pannier boxes and rails ? I know they have rails for the trekker series but pricy.

[@nicein2000]

I'm using Givi branded panniers and mounting brackets. I put links to everything in this URL. lifeafter40.net/triumph-tiger-900-gt-upgrades-accessories-june-2023/

[@josephsaia5527]

Will heated grips heat go easily thru the grip puppies

[@nicein2000]

Yes, I'm happy to report that the heat still goes through just fine
