Equipment:mechanical:carrier/rackDec 12, 2007 · NHTSA campaign 07V562000 · 3,698 vehicles

Problem: On certain motorcycles equipped with an optional accessory luggage rack, undersized washers were used which prevents the sliding carriage from moving as intended.

Risk: Reduced stability can occur if the motorcycle is ridden with the fitted accessory, exceeded maximum weight, and at speeds far in excess of the 80 mph limit warning, increasing the risk of a crash.

Fix: Dealers will inspect the accessory racks for lateral movement. Those racks not displaying any movement will be repaired. The recall began on february 8, 2008. Owners may contact triumph at 1-678-854-2010.

The head lamps on my triumph tiger 1050 2007 model are inadequate for safe night riding to say the least. The beam pattern is greatly inferior to what a bike of this style should be equipped with. Cornering on dark roads at any speed above 30 mph is scary and nothing short of turning into a black…
