2003 Triumph Tiger

SMT700FR93J166263

Back problems are forcing me to sell my 2003 Triumph Tiger. In excellent condition. Ideal Sport Touring bike, with detachable Triumph hard cases that double as luggage (a $1,000 factory option). Thunderbike crash bars. Yellow driving lamps mounted inside crash bars. Digital voltmeter added. Though I am 6 ft tall, I found it desirable to lower the seat 1/2 inch and the suspension 1 1/2 inches so both feet could be flat on the ground when stopped. As a consequence I shortened the kickstand (welded on a larger pad in the process) and the center stand. You no longer have to be very tall to ride a Tiger! This Tiger came with the tall OEM windscreen option. To reduce buffeting a Laminar Lip has been added to the windscreen. To stiffen the fairing and improve the appearance I installed a Triumph Sport Screen (a silver fiberglass piece, not a see-thru windscreen) and then mounted the windscreen to the Sport Screen. Bike comes with handguards. I currently have them off (not cold here) but they can be re-installed easily. While I have ridden on dirt and gravel roads, this motorcycle is too heavy to be a true off-road bike, IMO. Makes a great bike for commuting, touring, or carving up curvy roads. Is a great handling bike! Includes Triumph Tiger 955i service manual (plus a copy on CD) and owner's manual. Also included is OEM tool kit.On Feb-22-11 at 09:54:35 PST, seller added the following information: Back problems are forcing me to sell my 2003 Triumph Tiger. In excellent condition.

On Feb-26-11 at 13:19:48 PST, seller added the following information: Besides the cigarette lighter type 12V outlet in the instrument panel there is a BMW type 12V outlet under the tank. There are very,very light scratches on the hard cases and 2 very small dots low on the tank where paint has worn through, probably from the previous owner's use of a strap-on tank bag. Adding close-up pics of both cases and the 2 spots.On Feb-26-11 at 13:50:31 PST, seller added the following information: Just took pics of the hard cases. There is a very faint scuff mark at front corner of the right-hand case, down low. Barely able to see with naked eye. On the left-hand case there is a very faint scuff on top, behind the rear latch. What looks like a big scratch is just a reflection...the scuff can barely be seen, just like the other one! Was able to rub out the scratches I referred to in the earlier description.
