Rear luggage worth the money ?

Oh let me add a 4th crapola factor- the so-called 'rain covers'you speak of.. Ahem...they cover most of the panniers EXCEPT for the inside of the panniers.. you know, the tire side which is like a fire hose throwing water into the panniers. No I'm sorry my friend, these suck big time. On the other hand, I am completely ecstatic over the bike itself. Without a question the best steed I ever rode.

Apparently, Triumph are aware of the leaking panniers issue:

Just spoke to Hepco and Becket
They make a nice system and its 1/2 price of the triumoh system
Assuming its also bigger and better quality

I almost ordered them, but went a different route.
Used factory rack and brackets and made a wider plate for it. Now I can fit 80lt tail bag on top
