Just sharing my attempt at bags (panniers). For a lot of reasons, I hate the triumph bags. I have a decent shop, including a TIG welder, so this might not be a solution for everyone. Appearance is subjective, so even though I love how these turned out, you might hate them.
My objectives...
I was dropping off my bike for warranty repair today and took time in the showroom gawking at bikes when I spotted the followint pannier:
Triumph Speed 400 Scrambler 400 X Rugged Pannier (Part number A9510748)
It has a 3-point mounting system that appears like our Rocket sport panniers. I...
Hi,
I just purchased the pannier kit for my 22 R3 GT. All was going well with the install. I got my first barrel installed and mounted.
When I went to pull the 2nd key barrel out of the factory sleeve, parts fell everywhere. Brass insert things and springs. I think i found them all,
but I...
Looking for pannier Bag advice for my R3O,
Hard vs. soft? Size recommendations? Mounting options? . Any tips from other R3O riders appreciated,
Thanks!

Hello all, thought I would share this. I’ve had my rocket for a few weeks now, initially got a small tank bag, and decided that I wanted saddle bags, but not the factory bags. Nothing wrong with them, except since i have the chrome tank, they would look a little strange, and I wanted more...
I just received my beautiful new panniers, simply popped the tumblers into the barrels and done deal. Since I needed the torque spec for the mounting hardware, also beautifully designed, I downloaded the manual only to find this mind numbing procedure of practically disassembling the entire lock...
I'm not a big fan of the license plate & indicators lump on my GT so I am going to fit a side mount of some kind, probably relocating the indicators in the back of the seat area.
My question is will a side mount license plate work with the 25L panniers fitted?
During my second larger trip failed zippers on my both panniers. First the right, two days after the left. Both the same problem, rear zip stucked on the sharpest corner and is not able to move to any direction. There is no visible destruction, no dust or dirt, no clothing from inside. Strange...
Finally finished my rear rack/panniers build in preparation for my road trip in a weeks time. The oval number plates are to hide the racks when I have no bags fitted but still have the racks on. The whole assembly can be removed with 4 bolts and 2 screws similar to the factory panniers and sissy...
...so i decided i need some Panniers as next February a bunch of us are circumnavigating the North Island of NZ over about 7 or 8 days. I went ahead and purchased the 25 litre bags and got the tumblers out of my folder and put the key in the slot in readiness to insert into the bag. First time...
Hello all,
I bought sport panniers and mounting kit, original. After few rides I detected that one (right) holder does not hold the arm up during the ride without panniers. There is small plastic piece holding the arm in the upper position. I was shocked that something so expensive is not better...
Have any of you found NON Triumph panniers/saddlebags that will fit in the Triumph mounts?
All the post I’ve read state how bad the bags are. But I love the way the mounts fold away when not in use.
Thank you!
Not crazy about spending $590 on zippered non-waterproof luggage. But I've never been able to see these in person and wondering what people that have them think. Thanks.
Been patiently waiting for a decent aftermarket hard luggage option for the R3.
Finally found something worth the money!
They use the H&B C-bow mounts.
22L so similar to the genuine triumph bags.
I think they look pretty good on the bike.
The mounts are not as discreet as the triumph ones when...
After tearing up two zippered bags from Triumph, had to do some thing different. I have two rockets, a 2020 R3 and a 2022 R3GT. (The GT is primarily for my fiancé.) Didn't like the expense of the Corbin option, but went with it for the GT. I have read a lot of posts that the triumph bags are...
Hi all!
Trying to decide if I should order the rocket R with panniers, I will be doing a bit of commuting on my bike so will be filtering - could someone with the panniers please measure the width of the bike in the rear with them mounted? Just want to compare with my current bike (K1300) with...
I couldn't find anything on this No paperwork when purchased. Does anyone know what to use to protect, clean? Appears 2 different fabrics. Hate to mess it up. Thanks!
Don’t be too trusting of the zipper locks...
One of mine malfunctioned today
I called the dealer to seek their advice and they said to bring it in but I’m too far away in about an hour and a half away
so low and behold I just typed in TSA 007 on YouTube and I instantly learned way too much...
