My beautiful FJR just got an ugly stablemate

[juniorfjr]

She's a 2013 tiger 800 xc abs with 14k. Never been offroad yet. That triple is amazing

You're going to hurt yourself old man!

Good looking bike!

Good looking bike!

First farkle, change out those tires!

 

[juniorfjr]

Tires and engine protection are first on the list.

 

[RossKean]

Nice! The engine protection for sure! The exhaust looks pretty exposed too.

Hard cases too?

 

[juniorfjr]

Came with triumph hard cases, bark busters, risers, heated grips, taller adjustable screen, adjustable lowering links and triumph lower comfort seat. All things to make it look the part, but already on it.

Great looking bike!

Yea, however the way I'm buying toys, it might be another 18 months.

These bikes are not beauty queens IMHO, my V-strom 1000 is the ugliest bike I have ever owned but really nice rides. Enjoy.

...back on topic!

Which tires are you planning to use for the upcoming AK trip?

[juniorfjr]

Don't know yet. It's a whole new ballgame, confusing as hell. Any reccomendations are welcome. Was looking at heideneua k60 or tkc70.

Handsome is as handsome does. It ain't pretty but it does look purposeful. I bet with the side cases and a touring load it will look just fine.
