“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.”
NHTSA complaint #10357685, filed 2010-09, 8,500 miles“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. …”
NHTSA complaint #10335040, filed 2010-06, 4,000 miles“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.”
