Roadwasher,
I tried the Triumph soft bags. they were OK at best.
Not waterproof, and you cant lock them. I have the Triumph rack with back rest. My plan for this spring is to remove the back rest, and mount a Givi top case. Not sure what size yet. Givi cases are water proof, and lockable. My buddy has a BMW r800st with Givi bags & top case. they are at least 15 years old , and still look great. I know that a top case is a big change from bags. I just like the fact that the case locks. they also make a plate for quick removal, a back-rest, and brake-lite kit. Having owned a few BMW's with hard bags I really cant get used to soft bags.



I have a set of the Triumph bags but after one day on the bike I decided they were just too small to be of any use. This is why I went out and bought another set and modified them to work with the Triumph brackets, that was a year back but they are now finished and I don’t think I will be able to do another trip with them.

I am thinking of using the Triumph bags with the following .

I did find out that 'bikewise@kmsa.co.za' sells these so I sent them a mail. My only concern is that I would have to have it sitting on the backend not as in this photo as I need the pillion seat for the wife. However it looks great this might just do it with my original Triumph saddlebags on the side for the odds and ends.

I think I would go for the rally pack like this one in black if I can.
