Hepco & Becker Rugged C-Bow luggage

[MrPix]

I said I would post when I had mounted the H&B luggage, so here is my Jessica Rocket, all dressed up, with no place to go....... just yet!

p.s. I don't care if you like the look or not, she's mine and I love her.

Luggage looks fine to me. Can you tell me what screen you have fitted and is it good in stopping wind blast? Thanks

Powerbronze UK. Medium size (475mm I think)... works well with the GT bars and seat, but not with R bars and seat for me at 6'.

Mr. Pix, I think that luggage looks really quite nice, and definitely better than Triumphs purpose made offerings.
If I can get the pillion seat to be more comfortable for long distance for my wife, I may buy some.

Actually, I fed you a bad recollection.... the 475mm screen worked really well with R bars and seat.... It was the small screen (330mm) that was awful. My apologies, you'll do alright with it. I may sell my 475mm screen TBH, went out today (GT bars and seat + 475mm screen) and though it was great up to 70MPH, anything over 72 was buffet city... so I'll be looking at a different touring screen... so if you aren't bothered about a few minor scratches, make me an offer!

Hey good of you to offer the update with info that I wanted to hear. Yesterday morning I ordered the 475mm screen and expecting delivery today. Thanks again

How did you get the c-bow on the sissy bar? My used bike came with triumph luggage, but I really want the option to mount stuff on the back of the sissy bar. I went to their website and they didn't list anything that looks like what you did.

It comes with a latch on the bottom but it was fairly teriible at holding fast so I drilled some holes in the bottom of the bag to make it permanent, and some flat bar under the rack and put torx screws in from the bottom to make it more difficult to remove for passing opportunists... then sold the H&B set up a few weeks later as I got a hard to refuse offer on the OEM 25L bags.... the top bag was too small to fit my helmet in so it was of no use ultimately.

Oh, so it was just strapped to the luggage rack? I was hoping there was a c bow rear mount. Bummer
