Triumph Sissy Bar/Luggage Rack?

Monkeyjoe · Feb 23, 2014

Hey guys,
My Bonnie goes back to the dealer on Friday for the first 500ml service... I've arranged to have the High Sissy bar fitted, but would also like the luggage rack as my wife and I plan to do a bit of travelling around this summer, including going down south and possibly to Spain... I'm going to get a set of panniers from a local bike shop (Triumph ones too dear!) but the Luggage rack would be very handy also for tent etc...
I did it on the Triumph configurator to see how it looks and it wont allow both at once, obviously due to the fitting arms.... but don't they do a combined version for the Bonnie? I've saw some combined versions for other Triumph bikes... anyone any idea?
If not, what would be another option? I want the sissy bar on the back for my wife for longer journey's so that is a must...
Cheers,
:smile:

Why not get a top box. Put a pad on it for your wife,at least you can use the space as well.
Also what about soft panniers as there's no mounting frame it interfere with the sissy bar.
Personally I'd go for a 3 box set especially with 2 of you.

Great idea, and great image also, gives me an idea of what it looks like, only thing is we'll be going day away jaunts as well during the summer, and I'm not too keen on the top box look on the Bonnie, although it's perfect for more than a few days though, definitely an option to think about...
Thanks buddy, I'll consider it :smile:

I'm a great fan of top boxes. A really useful piece of kit. It might not look cool but I wouldn't be without it now.

I agree I'm not a fan either.....but they're really useful.
If your just going for a day trip then it's a great(secure) place for helmets,coats etc.

At the end of the day it's your choice and your bike.
