Had anyone tried these c-bow saddlebags mounts? Only $200.
I had them on my previous bike, a Ducati Xdiavel. I thought they were great and are only about half the cost of the Triumph bags and mounts. When researching bags for my new Rocket 3 my dealer said that the Triumph bags sit closer to the bike and for that reason I'll probably go with those.
 
What compatible bags do you think would look the best on a Rocket? I totally don't see the "stock" bags Triumph is selling as looking good on a Rocket. I like what Corbin has but not sure I'd want to pay THAT much.

Frankly, I am kind of confused by Rocket looks and matching accessories to it. It is not a sports bike, per se, and not your regular cruiser. It kind of needs "sporty bags" but not sure if such a thing exists.
 
One thing I dislike about the 2.5 is its lack of a decent size.Pannier for traveling. Please let us know if you find something larger that works.

Hepco Becker C-Bow Mounts 2023 R3

I just mounted my Hepco & Becker C-Bow mounts to my new 2023 R3. I figured I'd share what they look like mounted to the bike for tribal knowledge. I'll create another thread for the boxes... Installation was not bad, just had to remove the mud guard from underneath and drill 4 holes for the...

There it says that you can't really load them up with weight because they are independent and probably sag, this is the impression I got. Thus, larger bags probably would be futile to have, as they may sag and rub on the tire, worst case scenario.

For now, I kind of think about this particular set up, have not made my mind, just thinking: Top Box Set for Triumph Rocket III / Classic + Saddlebag TK3 | eBay It is for the III model, but I am sure it can be adapted to these brackets, just wondering how it will look.
 
Seen those, but they all look so "old regime", don't know if their "classical" look with clash with more sporty look of the Rocket 3.
