Convinced,
Before I go for an aftermarket can, I will spend the money on a better seat and maybe even upgrade the suspension. I ride with earplugs anyway. :D

I always read that the aim is for sag of 1/3 of full travel. Spec on the Tiger 800 is 170mm for the rear. 170/3 = 56.66. I think you are closer than you think.

Great pictures.
