Great video. Simple, straight to the point. Made things look so easy and doable. Tips on pannier locks and packing for the trip was also spot on. Keep up the good work. Happy riding ...
Thanks for the feedback. Glad you found it useful
Ta for clear instructions. I’ve just gone and bought the same for my bike! I look forward to using them in the summer
Glad you found them useful. I am really looking forward to getting away once we can travel out of the area.
Thank you for taking the time to do this - well done! Also thanks for the link to the instructions - mine did not have any included in the box.
Glad it helped!
Many thanks for this, I have fitted mine today, to my Thruxton RS couldn't get them for £117 though. The instructions made it easy and the security aspect really helped my confidence in the product. I wasn't quite expecting the suspension bolt to be quite so hard to shift.
Glad it helped, i have used mine a lot and they seem quite durable.
A load of great information there mate! Especially on how to secure the panniers form thiefs
Glad you found it useful
Excellent stuff! Thanks so much for taking the time to fit, remove then refit - all for our benefit. Thinking of getting these for my 2021 T100.
Thanks for the feedback. Keep an eye on prices as they vary from £120 to £300
Thanks. Found on the bay new for £139. The Hepco & Becker ones look OK too but rather bulky and a lot more money
夏にStreetTwinを購入しました。その時注文したパニアキットは最近やっと届きました。
これから取り付けますがとても参考になりました。特に両側のパニアをワイヤーでつなげるアイデアはとてもいいですね。ありがとうございました。
お役に立ててうれしいです
Had a silver thruxton once but that green looks the goods 🍻
Solid touring tips there too 👍🏼
Yes I think the green is the best colour. I have not seen the chrome ones yet though
Thanks Very Much
Grazie, molto utile. Io non ho ancora una Triumph Thruxton, e quando ce l'avrò non penso che ci metterò borse e/o bauletti. Questo perchè ho intenzione di comprare la Thruxton solo per andare a fare il fico in paese, o nei villaggi limitrofi, portandomi appresso poco o niente. Ma qualora in futuro cambiassi idea, allora in questo caso terrei in considerazione le soluzioni qui esposte.
Good genuine DIY video…👍
Glad you liked it
Great job mate! Thanks!
No problem 👍
Great video. Very clear and informative. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very helpful! Thank you
You are welcome
Excellent video, very detailed.
I assume setup is the same for a T120.
Do the panniers not move too much when you ride on bad road ?
Thank you from Switzerland.
Hi Thanks for the feedback. I would think they are very similar on the T120 however Givi now do a rack for the T120 so you can fit Givi side cases to the Bonneville. Regarding the panniers, yes they move a little but do not really affect the handling on medium speed, 60 MPH, twisty roads. I have not been on a motorway with the panniers fitted but as long as you are not going crazy i don't think they are heavy enough when loaded to cause major handling problems.
Just fitted these to a 1974 Commando, the security info will carry across too.
Wow a Commando, beautiful bike and rare now. Are you touring on it?
@@upnorthbiker Not so sure on the rare, approx 85K made and over 50% still around but 80% did go to US when made. Panniers are replacing a rackbag for day runs but do get some miles in going to Classic TT which is pencilled in for 2023.
Thanks, great vid UNB, very informative. Like your natural video style. Subbed.
Thanks for the sub!
I've seen a pair for sale with the fitting kit. The instructions say that they won't fit if you have done the fender eliminator conversion. I'm away from the bike at the moment, but trying to figure why, as the nylon lugs fit to the top rail and not underneath. Any ideas please?
I can't see why they wouldn't still fit, the fixings are to the suspension, the foot pegs and the frame under the seat
Hi, good video I’m looking at getting these but can the pillion get feet on the rear pegs
Hi Mark I can’t answer that one as I only have the single seat but I think it would be tight for pillion space
Thanks just looking in way of the rear footpegs
Was everything included with the panniers? Thanks for the video!
Just the fitting kit, the waterproof covers and the panniers themselves were included.
Great video my man. I have a silver Thruxton R 2017 I've been looking for some panniers that would not spoil the looks of a magnificent looking motorcycle. I have a tiger xrt for a long trips but once in a while I would like to carry something on the Thruxton. I'm wondering what those Chrome brackets would look like painted flat or gloss black if they would stand out less and be less noticeable...
I was thinking of getting some plates welded on the inside of the frame with a union jack on them to make a feature. They only take 5 minutes to remove if you only use them occasionally. I have been looking at the Tiger 1050 for longer journeys but not ready to buy yet.
Thank you for an extremely helpful video. I'm planning to buy the same panniers, and wondered what make are your combination padlocks with steel loop. Would it be possible to know please? I've been googling for hours! Thank you.
Sorry - I've just seen all the details under "Show More" above. Thank you very much again.
No Problem glad you found it useful
Where can you get the panniers cheaper? Sorry didnt catch that part
I got mine from total triumph I think. Keep an eye out for offers as they occasionally drop in price
@@upnorthbikerthanks!
Will the bags fit a helmet?
Unfortunately not they are quite small. 15L capacity I think which is similar to the size of a large tank bag
IF YOU LET ALL THESE THREE LOCKS ON THE PANNIERS DURING THE VOYAGE -- THEY WILL CRAMBLE AND DANCE ON THE PANNIERS CAUSING DAMAGE TO THEM AND A HELL OF NOISE !!!!! IF YOU DONT THEN YOU HAVE TO LOCK AND UNLOCK THEM EVERY TIME YOU STOP -----
Hi the panniers are nylon so there is no noise or damage. Agree it would be no use with hard cases
