When I bought my Tbird LT, I ordered a few accessories for it at the same time. They were the rear passenger pillion(more padding), the windscreen lock, and the aux power socket that installs in the right saddlebag.
The rear comfort seat, part # A9708358 passes the wife test and is much more comfortable than the stock seat. It bolts directly in place of the original seat and even gives a little more back support to the rider.
The aux power socket, part # A9828014 is an easy install, as per instructions on the Triumph website, but the pictures are a little deceiving in that it looks like a normal cigarette type power socket but is in fact about 50% smaller. Will have to find an adapter of some kind to fit it and allow normal power accessories to be plugged in, like cell phones.
The windscreen lock, part # A9701280 did not fit my windscreen(yes it was the right part according to Triumph instruction website and configuration site) as the hole on it was one that the lock would bolt through and that is not how it's supposed to mount according to the instructions. It is supposed to fasten on the side approximately where the large hole is and there is only supposed to be two small locator holes to position it correctly.

That's my quick review of the accessories I ordered and installed(and attempted) on my Thunderbird LT. Hope it helps someone else with the decision on what to get on theirs.
 
DaveM, I have not contacted them yet about it. Will update when I know something. The part is correct according to the box it came in. When you look up the installation instructions on the Triumph site, it states that it is for the Thunderbird LT.

Maybe where mine is the "Launch Pack" model and comes with the larger windscreen, it is a different part #.
 
I use this Powerlet on my bike. It gives me an outlet for my GPS and one for my gloves.

Here is the fix for the windscreen lock. The wrong part was ordered for my bike. Below is the new/correct part and # for it. I was contacted directly by a Triumph representative on another forum I visit occasionally. He is responsible for design and engineering accessories for Triumph. This is first rate customer service and I hope they continue to be this proactive in resolving what issues they can. Below is the explanation and fix for the mix up he sent to me;

A9701280 is for a later issue of the screen. We up issued the lock and screen to change to a different style of lock. There should have been a VIN split in place to make sure the current bikes got the correct lock and then changes over to the new part number (which you received) when the later issue screen comes into production in the future. I have let our accessories department know and they have assured me this shouldn’t happen again. The part number you want is A9700376. Hopefully your dealer will be able to swap the locks over for you.
A9700376 should look like this:

And A9701280 should look like this:

Sorry that this hasn’t been simple and for the mix up. I hope you are enjoying the bike! If there are any issues with the dealer or the bike in the future please don’t hesitate to contact me and I will do what I can to help!
Kind regards,
Jon
