Last year I was the only Rocket (not Rocker) at the BTB. Is anyone going to show up and support the BIG end of the Triumph line. There was another darksided Rocket there but they didn't stay. What a great time riding with everyone.

Nope-I was there on my Black 08 R3 last year. This year-Tiger SE.

Hey, where's my commission from the dealer for selling you on that Tiger?!

Not necessary. Add any accesories to that Tiger yet? I had my rear shock rebuilt by Racetech. I put new LED spotlights on. It's done. Nothing more to do. I had the 12,000 mile service done this past Fall. Stay warm!

Yep, Centerstand, CalSci +9, new bars, TPX, Arrow race can, high seat, sheepskin, and a KOF Sonic Splitweight(tm) waterproof seat cover, PIAA bulbs, and PIAA driving lights on a Twister Throttle bracket. Also, a fuse box and relay for the TPX and aux. lights. And the power socket kit. Top box goes on soon-and I also have the Triumpg bag for the rear seat from Jefff1-thanks, Jeff. Swapped him a seat cover for it.

What a dream machine the Tiger is. Got it late fall and put 3500 miles on it.

How's the KLR?

Which brand fuse box did you install? I need one pretty bad now that I bought heated gear. No more room on the battery posts!

I used the AP-2 and relay. I did NOT splice the trigger wire into the CANBUS harness-I ran it to the fuse box and wrapped it tight to the post of a factory fuse. Another solution to trigger the relay is the part from Twisted Throttle that taps into the marker light in the front fairing. Neat, clean, and no splicing-which I avoid at ALL costs. Works a treat, as they say "over there". If I had to do it again I'd do that. eastern beaver also makes a real nice kit.

I was looking at the AP1 and AP2. Just need to decide which to get. I already have a relay for my spotlights and tapped the rear running light.

I used the AP-2 so the TPX and aux lights cannot be left on by accident. I know me......

With the AP-2 there are 3 hot and three switched outputs.
