THE LEFT REAR TURN SIGNAL FRACTURED AND WAS FOUND DANGLING BY ITS ELECTRICAL CABLE. CAUSE UNKNOWN BUT DEVICE WAS NOT EXPOSED TO ANY FORCES OTHER THAN ROUTINE WIND LOADS. THE NEXT DAY THE RIGHT REAR TURN SIGNAL ALSO FRACTURED AND WAS FOUND DANGLING BY ITS ELECTRICAL CABLE. THIS IS A DEFECT AND IS UNSAFE AS OTHER MOTORISTS CANT SEE THE SIGNALS. *TR

PROJECTOR BEAM TYPE REFLECTOR HALOGEN LAMP HEADLIGHT ON TRIUMPH TIGER 1050 MOTORCYCLE DOES NOT HAVE SUFFICIENT LIGHTING ABILITY, MAKING NIGHT RIDING EXTREMELY AND NEEDLESSLY HAZARDOUS. DOES NOT MEET DOT REQUIREMENTS. *TR

I RIDE A 2007 TRIUMPH TIGER 1050 BUT NOT AT NIGHT ANY MORE. THE FRONT PROJECTOR LIGHTING IS VERY POOR AND CAN BE DANGEROUS ON CORNERING BECAUSE THE BEAM DOES NOT REACH THE END OF THE TURNS WHERE ONE SHOULD BE FOCUSING. THE MAIN BEAM IS ALSO PATHETIC EVEN AFTER HAVING THE ALIGNMENT CHECKED. THIS DEFECT IS IT SEEMS PREVALENT AMONGST TIGER RIDERS AND COMPLAINTS TO TRIUMPH HAVE BEEN IGNORED. INTERESTINGLY, THEIR NEWLY ANNOUNCED SPRINT GT IS NOT USING A PROJECTOR BEAM BUT REVERTS TO A REFLECTOR DESIGN. PERHAPS THEY LISTEN BUT DON'T RECALL AND LET THE OWNERS MAKE THEIR OWN MODIFICATIONS AND QUIETLY IMPROVE THE NEW MODELS. THE MODIFICATIONS WOULD POSSIBLY VOID WARRANTIES AND EVEN AFFECT IN

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 HOLE. IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME UNTIL THIS DESIGN INJURES OR KILLS SOMEONE. TRIUMPH NEEDS TO RECALL THIS HEADLAMP REFLECTOR AND REPLACE IT WITH A SAFE ALTERNATIVE. MANY OTHER MOTORCYCLES OF THIS CLASS DO NOT SUFFER THIS DEFICIT AND IT NEEDS REMEDIED. *TR
