Is anyone using custom GPX maps in the Triumph app? I made one and it was giving the wrong directions, I think it reversed the route. Not sure what I did wrong.

Good morning. I went and played around in the sand last weekend and noticed after that my steering head bearing seems to be weeping a little. I'm not sure if this is typical, or the beginning of something more serious.

Has anyone else had this issue and what did Triumph say about it?

Thanks.

A few weeks ago I was riding off-road and realized my 23 RP is just too heavy—and my luggage is too expensive—for me to keep almost dumping my way through rocky dirt bike tracks. That got me thinking about how I actually enjoy using the bike.

Since then, I’ve started focusing on making it more comfortable on the road while still keeping it capable enough for fire roads and light off road riding. One of my favorite upgrades has been the Qualmount highway pegs. They’ve made such a difference that I’ve been taking a lot more long rides.

The one issue I’m still having is my riding position. I’m 5’10” with a 32” inseam, and my arms are almost fully extended. I have to lean forward slightly to reach the handlebars, and after a while I start getting numbness in my right thumb and a couple of fingers.

Has anyone else around my height experienced this? Did handlebar risers help, especially ones that raise the bars and bring them a bit closer? I’ve done some research and found that Helibars make some specifically for the tiger. Has anyone tried these, or have any other recommendation.
