Arse, that's going to be expensive.

    The Tiger had a little lie down on the wet gravel when I parked it
    overnight.

    The fairing doesn't half disintegrate when faced with a brick wall :/

    So, that's one new front fairing and a fucked MRA Vario.

    Ouchy...

    Arse indeed, & futhermore, bum. I'll be selling my 955 Tig in a month
    or two & was going to stick the original screen back on & sell the
    Vario separately. Make me a sensible offer if you want it, otherwise
    I'll throw it towards the baying masses on the Tiger groups.

    Top half or bottom half?
    I made a new top half for mine out of an old original screen.....

    ooh. Nice one. Sure, lets take it to email ..

    I was riding it streetfightered for about 20 miles, that barn door
    fairing really does make a difference to the aerodynamics. i.e. It's a
    hell of a lot quicker without it on .. !

    Cheers,
    Paul.

    Actually the clicky aerodynamic flip bit is fine, but the whole bottom
    of the screen and the top of the fairing is in several sizeable
    pieces.

    I've sourced a replacement fairing and it was indeed wallet
    lightening .. that'll learn me not to carry a sidestand puck (again).

    Paul.

  8. BGN of this parish is looking to rejoin the motorcycling fraternity
    and had a Tigger previously. He might be interested.

    I've already mentioned it but I think the pink thing will have at least 1
    zero too many on the price tag. He mentioned something like another scummy
    Bandit like that heap he had from Muck.

  11. He crashed the last one, though, didn't he? So selling him a
    pre-disastered one is probably a wise move.

    He was vaguely interested last time I was going to sell it but I think
    he wanted something cheaper.

    Have you seen the price of new MRA Vario screens? Not everyone has a
    pot of gold to dip into.

    You need a big flat-foot bolted to the bottom of the stand, like wot my
    Versys has. I can park in a muddy field and the bike doesn't fall over.

    I think it was 120 quid, & it's done around 2k miles.
