Givi Mounting Stuff - Reviews Or Cross-compatibility Thoughts?

Well done for investigating before buying. As a former electronics engineer a phrase I soon learnt was "never assume".

The 2016+ Street Twin/Cups and T100/T120s share pretty much the same chassis, so many of the Triumph accessories and parts are interchangeable; many are often not listed as compatible because they simply weren't intended for that particular model.

So it will most likely be the case that if GIVI say that something will fit the Street Twin, it will also fit the T100/120.

For example, I've fitted the T100/120 modular grabrail and rack to my 2018 Street Cup and it fits fine. Triumph's rack appears to fit behind the shock, but actually the fitting bolts screw into the frame behind the rear shock. Triumph's Panniers mount to the outside of the top of the rear shocks and again are universal across the Street Twin T100/120 models.



A little more online research should help you decide which way to go. Try going to the manufacturers' support pages and see if you can download fitting instructions for the models you're interested in. The diagrams will give you an understanding of how your bike's built, what is most likely interchangeable and how you'll fit your choices of racks and panniers.

Some time on the Triumph configurator web pages (Accessorise your Triumph Motorcycle | For the Ride) will help you understand what's compatible across models. World of Triumph's parts pages World of Triumph | Parts Finder – World Of Triumph will also help you understand compatibility.

To get an understanding of how triumph fit their racks and panniers, go to Triumph Instructions.com and type in AA9758331 for the rack and A9518155 for the panniers.

Hope all that helps, the research is often as much part of the satisfaction as the actual fitting and riding.

Enjoy the ride .
