Grab Rail - Back Rest

Discussion in 'Newbies Hangout' started by John T100, Nov 26, 2024 at 2:54 PM.

  1. Hello everyone. New to the forum. Just purchased a 2024 T100 with the carnival red / fusion white tank. I should receive it from the dealer in a couple of weeks. Having it shipped as we don't have a Triumph dealer in my province. I have been riding a Suzuki V Strom for years but I'm looking forward to joining Team Triumph. I love the classic look, feel and sound of the T100. I'm looking at buying a grap rail /backrest / luggage rack kit as I need something to fasten on my laptop bag for my work commute. I'd also like a back rest for the times when my wife joins me for a ride. I'm seeing a lot of after market systems that are significantly cheaper than the genuine Triumph kit. Any suggestions???? Ideally, I'd love it if the back rest attachment was easily detachable so I could put it on or take it off whenever I take a passenger for a ride.

    Welcome to the forum, @John T100. And to the wonderful world of Triumph! :) You've come to the right place to get some advice and feedback such as you're looking for. I personally don't have a Bonnie but there are many here who do and there are also many here who have many opinions. ;):joy: You may want to repost your intro post and question on the Bonneville Forum which you can find using the FORUMS pull-down menu at the top of the forum page. Have fun when you get that new bike and please keep us posted when it arrives!
