Picking up a 2017 Bonneville T120Black in Jet Black. Since I don't have access to a bike, I thought someone here might be able to assist. I want to put on a luggage rack & windscreen right away. Does anyone know for certain if I purchase the 'Luggage Rack, Black Item # A9758303', (Triumph Motorcycles .com) do I need to remove \ replace the existing grab rail? Some dealers say yes, others say no. Not sure if they are just trying to sell me something else or what.

Also, can't find specs on the difference between the Short Summer Windscreen and the Tall Summer Windscreen. Dark tint either way. Any suggestions?

Thanks, guys (and gals).

Looking at the one you listed below it looks like it should just bolt on leaving the original grab rail

This one that I found has the grab rail built onto it and looks a lot more solid - Grab Rail and Rack - Black

Look closely, your old grabrail is removed and this rack/grabrail replaces it. The screen is a Dart Dolphin (vey simple installation)

That is the same one I showed in my second photo and it looks like a nice solid installation.

Dave, it had a little "3 kg max" sticker I removed (clashed with the chrome!)

3Kg does not seem like much but I suppose for those smaller items for town riding it would work well.

Hi, JK!

I'm no help on the luggage rack or the windscreen, but I just wanted to tell you congrats on the new ride! That Jet Black is a beautiful color. Let us know how you like it!

Thanks, all. Yes, the existing rail is removed and must be replaced with the 2nd image DaveM posted above.

Deposit down, correct rack ordered, just need to decide on windshield. Well, more than that, but for now . . .

Let us know how the rack works out once you have it.

Ordered the rack w/hand rail & Puig Naked in Dark Smoke: Puig For the bike model Triumph BONNEVILLE T120 2017 | Puig

Being only 5', I think this is really all I need. Plus, I really think any windshield takes away from the beauty of this bike. Almost as if a Bonneville is meant to be ridden 'bare-back'.

 

[tritigex]

I have used both the Puig Naked and Plus screens on my T120 Black. The Puig Plus is better and equally ugly on a naked "retro" bike.

I bought the short summer screen from Triumph for my 2016 T-120, but it was nothing more than a fly screen. So I went to National Cycle (NC) for a taller one (SKU N25012) that fits very well. I ordered a clear one, but later ordered the tinted one (SKU N25013) that looks better and cut some of the glare from the instrument cluster. The NC windshields are made of polycarbonate, a bit more scratch resistant than acrylic.

Am in the process of picking out a windscreen for my T120 as well..right now naked bike. Had the dart fly screen on my ST and loved it...heard there were some issues w the brackets on that and am holding off on it for now

 

[Sjm]

Once I figured out the mounting configuration on the National cycle screen, it fit perfect. So far, still happy with it.

 

[mrmvolz]

Will check it out!

I have a wind screen, tinted, on order as well for about a month... triumph is backordered none in the states as of a moth or so ago. Triumph rack has a light weight limit, have heard the Hepko Becker is a little more sturdy but have not seen it up close! Post pics please when you get yours! Congrats! On bike, just got a T120 cinder red a month ago...LOVE IT!

 

[Sjm]

Here are some pix of the tinted National Cycle windscreen on my T-120. I still haven't decided who to get a luggage rack from, but certainly one that holds more than a couple of pounds.

 

[mrmvolz]

Thanks for the pics!!! Have a Triump one on order but if it takes too long this would be a great back up!

 

[Sjm]

Glad to help. I received the Nat'l Cycle one in about two weeks.
