Welcome and besides the EZ brackets (mild steel sheet painted black) advised by @EasTexRIII another Aussie @Mittzy has just designed and had made some stainless steel versions (similar but thinner gauge plate), to go with his Quick Release (QR) sissy bar mounting brackets so you can go from fully loaded to bare in seconds. The holes in the EZ brackets and Mittzy's version both need to be made in the stock leather panniers if mounted directly to the brackets without using the stock pannier frame brackets. The EZ brackets top two holes do align with the stock pannier frame brackets but this makes them protrude (stick-out) further from the bike when mounted than if mounted without the stock frames as well.

AUD$150 for the pair ( US$110, EUR101 ) + shipping and they are Stainless Steel to suit the third run QR Sissy Bar Kit.
They will each have a keyed alike locking barrel in them. They can be used without the QR sissy bar brackets (which come with the mounting posts/bolts), but will require the mounting posts/bolts at extra cost.

I know many buyers had the QR Sissy Bar Kit and QR Saddle Bag Brackets powder coated black so bought them raw steel unpolished.

You are correct about the stock brackets make the bags stick out further, but more so in the rear so I cut down the thickness of the rear spacing to bring them back in even

Welcome from Edmonton Alberta! I have the EZ brackets, and I love them, if you buy the Triumph bags one of the mount holes will be exposed but mine was plugged with a wee Christmas tree looking plug and a dab of silicone. no leaks so far.

Welcome from Aus, Rocket X #324
Got any Blacker ?

Great responses. Thanks to you all.
Indeed. Blacker than this bike will not be needed.

I have the original connection and do want to keep the looks without having the bags stick out more.

So the bare metal version look good. Can do for the welding and powder coat after that.

To be continued

I think someone on the forum did a great custom mod of his stock OEM brackets. Cut and welded onto the Easy Brackets so they did not stick out any further than OEM very neat it was too.

Someone will remember who.

Do not look narrowed - just mated to better bag support.

Blimey. How did you get a criminal record at 5?
