Triumph Panniers

- Start date
I have a set of those, and for everday use, running to the store for small items they are quite adequate. I hauled a 10 lb pork roast, 6 lb Ital Sausage, 6 lb Brats, and 4 lb Carne Assada home in them last Saturday from the butchers. The attached rain cover, while no great shakes, does work. If you want something for long trips; longer than a weekend, or more than 1 person, keep looking.

Hey BobM what time do we eat? Man thats a lot of meat in one bike. Throw overs are nice for the occasional trip but if your looking for daily use. Hard side luggage is the only way to go. The only two that have a mount for the Bonnie are Hepco Becker or Givi. I have the H&B 40l Juniors and don't know how I got by without them.

Got them with the bike. IMO, they're ok, nothing more. Somewhat small opening on top, and larger items is hard to get into them.
As for the water covers, they don't cover the inside at all, water coming from the back wheel will make the bags soaking wet in less than 100 miles.
Also not very impressed with how they attach to the panier rails.

Cook on Sunday eat on Monday. Sounds like a plan. DandyDoug try the link.

Thanks for the picture, man those things are huge !
They must hold a couple of weeks of stuff on a trip. LOL
I have reverse cone Staintunes on my 05 T100 and wonder if the bags would fit or if the pipes are at an angle that would interfere with them ??
I take it you have the full mounting brackets set up for the Hepco & Beker bags and top box ? or did you fab up something yourself ?
Do they effect handling ?
Seems like if they were fully loaded they could add a lot of weight to the rear of the bike.??
Nice looking touring set up !!
I like it !!

Those are the 40l size. NewBonneville has the 30l but Brit can probably get the larger cases. I bought the mounts from NewBonneville and I asked about fitting issues and was told they haven't had any problems with any of the after market exhaust they sell. The side cases can hold my full face helmet (size small) its a tight squeeze but it fits. I haven't taken any long trips with them yet but I had them loaded up with my tools this past week end no problems. They do make my butt look big but its kinda of grow on me and I like the convenance of being able to lock things up.

I like that setup Sparks looks real good I don't think I could have pictured those on a Bonnie otherwise.:up:

Got the full Givi set up. 36L panniers and a 42L top box complete with additional brake lights in it.
The top rack is the Rentek and the side frames are Norman Hyde.
My big complaint with the GIVI setup is that you have to move the rear blinkers..
I went with a custom setup that worked pretty well. The panniers were still there even after laying it down. My only complaint was that they were pretty small.

Hey Sparks,
Did the Givi side racks from Norman Hyde come with the turn indicator extensions or did you need to get a "kit?"
This set up looks exactly like what I have been looking for.
