From time to time the subjects of saddlebags and seats for the Bonneville come up. This is what I chose.
I was in New Hampshire at a Triumph dealer a couple of years ago and saw the King & Queen seat for a price that was much less (no sales tax too) than what I would pay here, so I bought it.
I've used it a few times, and it's comfortable, but somehow it just doesn't say "Triumph Bonneville". As hard as the standard seat is, it's the right profile and I use it the most.
I had saddlebag rails installed by the dealer, but didn't like any of the Triumph luggage. I opted for Tourmaster Slant II saddlebags in size medium. They come in Large and X-Large, but they are really large!
I don't expect to be carrying loads of stuff so they do fine.
They zip on and off quickly and the mounting yoke remains under the seat with just the edge showing.
The bags come with a rain cover and two quick-release tethers, front and back, for lashing to the bike and they stay firmly in place.
The material is man-made and quite stiff so they hold their shape when empty.
Like the seat, I haven't used them very much, but also like the seat, they are there when I want them.
