Please post comments concerning the RAM mount here:

Thanks.  I like to keep Accessory stuff in the C14 Accessory board.  Makes things easier to find, at least for me.

Yes, yes..I know this looks strange but you wouldn't believe the gyrations I just went through splitting and merging.

Welcome!  Don't worry about the "language" barrier, we have plenty of people from here in the US that we can't understand.  You will be just fine here.   ;D

Hey Klavdy, do you know about the factory fitted hole in the Tiger airbox?  The link will take you to the 'short' version of the story.  There's much more on the Tiger 1050 forum but you gotta logon to view it. 

The bike shown is my son's.  All 1050 series Triumphs have the hole   :o

Yeah!
I'm a member over on that board,read that a couple weeks or so ago , what a debacle.
That hole is getting blocked off asap (I've been a bit unwell lately and haven't been able to move my sorry ass around too much)
I haven't even ridden the GTR1400 yet, I need to heal up and get strong again.

Welcome!  I actually have a few Aussie friends that live over here in the States.  You will love the Concours (I mean, GTR1400).  TONS of useful info on this site.  While you are "healing", scroll back through topics and use the "search" function to find fascinating stuff.

Yeah, I thought I was just having another Malaria attack.
It wasn't.
I kind of ignored it, left it a bit late to seek medical help.
Appendicitis led to peritonitis and a laparotomy.
Guys, please don't do what I did, go and see a doctor.

Thanks fellers, I have lots of American mates, I even keep my Aprilia Tuono over there in Orange County,C.A for my U.S.A vacations.
I come over at least once a year (Airfares are ridiculously cheap) and go for a good long ride.
I'll be over the last two weeks of May and all June, we are going on a ride to Porterville C.A then up to Redding for the Hwy 36 run, then across to Colorado.

A verbal description would have sufficed in this case Klavdy. That’s gonna leave a mark!

Ouch!
