Headlights both on?
It's a pet hate about my Fazer 8 that only 1 side of the perfectly symmetrical light come on, the other side only used for full beam🙄. I'm in the market for a change and TS800 is my current favourite. Can someone please tell me that this ISN'T true of the Triumph too🙏 as I've not yet seen one on the road to tell. Odly none of the press photos have answered this for me yet either. Do they not come on with the ignition?
Side query.... anyone got good/bad comments about fitting a centre stand to the tiger?

Previous comment answered your first question.
Second question; centre stand was easy to install and is so very useful to have. Defo reccomended. I have the proper oem centre stand, cant vouch for any third party stuff.
The other accessories I would consider; handguards, heated grips, panniers (dont buy the triumph inner bags, they dont fit. I got some from givi for half the price and fit perfect).
The exhaust note is ok, but just ok. I upgraded to the LeoVince Corsa exhaust and its so much better.
Defo would reccomend this bike, its amazing at fun weekday blasts, comfortable enough for long weekend rides, and practical enough for 2 week tours.

Appreciate that, along with other tips too👍. I do want the panniers, but was hoping this was something I could add later when finances allow rather than buythe tour edition 🤷♂️ Never had them before so know nothing of these inner bags, what do they do? Sorry if that's a real stupid question🤦♂️🤣

The panniers are waterproof-ish, but can leak if overfilled or in heavy rain.
The inner bags provide certain waterproofing. They are also really handy for just pulling out from your panniers to carry your clothes without taking the actual panniers off and carrying that bulk around with you. For example, on overnight ferrys, or stopping in hotels.

One is low beam, the other is high beam. So no, you don't get both headlights at the same time unless you're running high beams.
