Lets see those SADDLEBAGS!

[Steve_14 Bonneville T-100]

I'm new here and did a search for some good Saddlebags threads but their wasn't much. What I learned basically is that the Triumph bags are too small and I should get something that comes on and off easy. But I want to see some pictures and I know there must be more people on here with interests.

I'm a new rider so school me on some luggage please.

well ive just fitted givi hard luggage to my tiger but there small and petite and might be worth a look !

What ever you do don't get the Triumph ones I had then on my bike for a day and could not fit my lunch in them for work I have had bigger leather bags as well but so far this is the best option I have ever had on a bike Ventura Bike-Pack System
They make them for all different models

The ultimate saddlebag.

I just ordered the Nelson Rigg 1040 jumbo tail bag. Heard good things about it through a local Triumph guy. I'll let you now after I try in a few weeks, but again I heard this is nice because you can also lean against it on longer rides.. Heres the link to the bag http://www.nelsonrigg.com/store/product.aspx?pid=446

That bag set really looks neat

Love the pic of your Bonnie all packed up Carl

JP Cycles has a huge range, not sure if they cater for Triumph
Kuryakyn also has some nice ones and Edge Leather

Love the pic of your Bonnie all packed up Carl

Thanks, Mal. I have done that several times.

I previously posted pics of my installation of Kappa side cases K21 and K48 top box on a modified Ventura rack if you would like to have a look for it or check my garage

Pictures of my T100 in Touring mode which only takes me 10 minutes to convert from a naked classic!

The side cases are Kappa K21 and the Top box is a Kappa K48.

Makes you wonder what the girls may say like..... Does my bum look big with them on?

That is a very nice setup you have and looks great on the bike

 

[gregsbonnie]

And it only takes 10 minutes to completely remove! Once I get the hinge seat mod installed it will take even less time. Mmm need to get myself a mig/ tug welder and lathe! Ha Ha!

This is what you need is something that is easy to remove. This is one of the great thinks about my setup as well.

Dave I like the Bonnie naked without the luggage unless we require storage for a trip or wet weather......not that we have had much wet weather lately just ask Rocky it has been extremely hot down here!

I also like the naked look and with my setup it is easy to change out as I want as well. At times I think a top box would be handy but the Speedmaster would just look odd with one I think

 

[gregsbonnie]

Yeah I think you are right they are handy for luggage required for long trips but the top box on my bike makes the back end fat looking. On the American mmmm nahhh would not look right maybe just a big bag

I found this photo but with it all kitted out like it is I suppose it fits the look

 

[gregsbonnie]

Dave that Top Box looks the part and suits well with that colour scheme to match the two tone bike. That would be perfect for when you require that extra luggage space. Looks great!

HEre are mine.....stockers on the side and an aftermarket cheapo up top......all removable but honestly I can't remember the last time I did. I use the "hefty brand inner saddle bag liners" and just snatch then out whenever I get where I am going.....
**decals are for covering dings chips and paint scratches----right????**
Oh and YEP its CARNIVAL time here in L.A. MArdi Gras Madness is in full swing!!!!
