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. 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!
Hello! This is a pic of my 5TA back in the early 70's..... maybe more backrest than you would want these days!
@John T100: You may come up with the prizy ones from Triumph. Have instead a look at the stuff from "Motone". Cheaper lookalikes.
Here in the UK Tec Bike Parts do a rear rack for the T100 for just £85.49 plus p&p. I guess they'll ship to North America. https://www.tecbikeparts.com/produc...ater-cooled-t100-t120-street-twin-street-cup/ I've had a similar one from Tec on my 2019 Speed Twin 1200 for a few years and found it very useful. Not readily detachable though.
I've just had a quick look at the Motone website. About £180 for a rear rack / grab handle but no backrest for a pillion. https://www.motone.co.uk/motorcycle...t-twin-street-scrambler-t100-t120-black-p2501
