Well, I had these on my Yamaha XJR, but they offer the same for the Bonnie. Easy to install and if you take 'em off, there is nothing much to disturb the looks of your bike! They come with watertight inner bags... In my eyes a clever solution, if you like the modern looks. (But keep in mind, they only hold about 13 litres each. That is not really a lot. Since I have two bikes at the moment that cannot be equipped with the same bags, I chose to use a watertight 45 litre backpack; but have to test this yet on tour.) https://www.motoport.de/de/dane-ikast-motorrad-rucksack?action_ms=1 But SW-Motech also offer vintage ones, or you check out the ones, that Samuel suggested. Cheers!
Welcome. I also have the Triumph leather and wax cotton panniers on my T100 and haven't had the same issue as Ken and mine have been out in the rain. And before typing this I did trot out to the garage and check. Just in case. I saw a Bonneville a few weeks ago with a really modern pannier system fitted and while they will definitely be waterproof and completely functional they didn't look right on the Bonnie. That is only my opinion. However, if they only get used for long trips where you need the space and dry clothes and are off the bike the rest of the time then they do make sense as there's no way the Triumph leather and wax cotton ones will keep out the water for any length of time as they only have flip of lids with strap and closers.
Hi I've just been around Ireland and taken the Oxford Heritage Panniers with me. Looked great and worked a treat!
Sorry it's been a bit; I'm getting closer to buying the oxford heritage bags-- they look very easy to install. Do you use the under-seat strap on your bonnie? Where do they affix to the bike to stop from flopping around?
No didn't use the underwear strap as it's a pain getting the seat off and then back on! Also didn't used the supplied straps. Bought some Rok straps and attached to the bike using those. Worked a treat. Did use some pannier rails as well which helped them moving around too much.
Okay got the oxford bags and love them but can't seem to orient them without a rack so that with heavy gear inside they touch the back tires ?! Can anyone recommend a basic panier rack that may work? I don't plan to carry more than groceries and such so it doesn't need to be elaborate. THANKS!
Hi. Welcome. I have been having a dabble with panniers and what style to go for. I found these.. see picture which are genuine Triumph Panniers made in 2002. I am going to fit these to the T100... which is exactly the same bike as yours. Rails. I decided to buy some of these but there the confusion started. I ordered them on the world of triumph site.. as it said they would fit. I gave them a call with another question and mentioned I had just bought a centre stand, dresser bars and pannier rails on the site. I gave him the part number and was told that none of the parts would fit the new T100... In the end I have had to buy a new set of rails, centre stand and bars.. as they will not fit the earlier bikes. He did mention that they had not got the new bikes parts up on the site yet. So I would call them or your Triumph dealer before you order any from anywhere.. Hope you get sorted. I will let you know how I get on with my upgrades.
Welcome mate. Don't be a stranger, this is a great place to pass the time talking bollox and for getting good informed help too.
