can mount almost any bag you want with Easy Brackets also makes the bags easily removable with a key and leaves the bike looking clean when off.

LOL Thats cool. Everyone has a different opinion. Ebay seems to be the best source. About $120 US They make them for Triumph Speedmaster and America have to specify with or without back rest.

Gary, been looking at luggage as well, oxford sports panniers just dont suit the America
I like the look of the K Drive panniers, but have not found a UK supplier yet, I think they are made in Belgum.

I have had Leather Lyke hard bags for about a year and really like them a lot. My were actually for a Harley but Leather Lyke makes TBA bags now.

Blimey dude lots of questions..... but we've all asked lots and some continue to ask lots... normally mine are stupid...

Right then. Bags.

Try www.jafrum.com They are cheap, cheaper than anywhere I've seen in the UK and even if you pay customs on arrival, they are still cheap. Never seen a bad word said against them. I have a sissy bag from them I used to use for work (I took the bar off...) and I used to abuse it. I could still use it now.

Try Custom Cruisers in Derbyshire. Never dealt with them, but the prices are what you pay..there's no customs to add when they arrive.

Keep an eye on eBay.

There are others.... I'll have a think about it.


Gina 03 America - Pretty stock - except the TBS wheel... 06 America - missing, presumed in bits. With it's TBS wheel... 09 America - It's very blue....

The folks at www.foxcreekleather.com seem to have their product line well in hand and the reviews are uniformly great. The leather sample they sent me was fantastic and I'm in the process of a purchse right now.
