Where you have your switches mounted, I have my stereo mounted. Where is your stereo mounted?

Rival, hands down. And do custom bags... We had some built that run the entire length of the rear storage areas, then built a false floor over them so we have storage in the back. We still have to use a sack or two in the front if we fill the rears up (750 a side) but have been able to adjust things nicely without messing with it when we are short on time.

Tige's biggest letdown is their ballast system. They need to find a way to hide some weight in the nose...

ballast switches

Here are the 4 ballast switches... I though I had included it before:
The switches are incorporated on the right side to the left of the TAPs plate where slalom times were, I cut a piece of aluminum to replace what was there.
the stereo is mounted in the glove box on the passenger side and the remote for that squezed between the tach and the gas gauge right below the perfectpass control.

I completely agree with the post about needing more weight in the front, particularly with TAPs set.

I just installed a PhatBudde tower and would highly recommend that to anyone looking.

Thanks PColucci. The dash on the newer Tige's are a little different than my 1997 22V. I have two speedo's where you have some sort of digital gauge. Also my taps adjustment is on the throttle lever.

I have a 96 22V, are you saying in 97 they moved it to the throttle? that nice. I replaced the one speedo with the perfectpass control

I have a 24V and did my own ballast system and after doing it I would say buy the rival system, but get it with dual 540 rear sacks and dual 350 front sacs. I still also put a 440 in the front walk through and the wake is getting real nice. I found that on the 24 you need a lot of weight to have an impact on the wake.

just got our 24v back from the dealer putting a Rival 4 bagger in 2-440s and 2-220s. Haven't tried it yet, the boy got appendicitis... in mid summer! agh! the dealer put the front bags in the mid section instead of under the front seats. what do you guys think? future mods or it'll be ok. had to add the ballast for the comp size wakes.
