Can anyone give me more info on how the Triumph ones fit onto the bike as I cannot quite see in the photo? I was under the impression that they also had brackets with them.
As it seems I am the only one with the Triumph ones...
THey come with a bracket for either side. On the straight cut bags, there are two velcro straps that go around the frame. The frames go on the grab rail bolts and if you have a sissy bar you use the bolts already on.It comes with two bolts otherwise. For a person with not much in the way of technical knowledge they took about 5 mins to fit with no power tools. And it was that long because I got them the wrong way round.
The bags themselves are a bit of a pain to get on and off but all you need is an 8mm spanner and a little patience. Now I can put them on in about 90 seconds. There is a possibility to scratch the leather, but if you're that worried go down the craft shop and buy a piece of felt. As for being easily removed...unless you carry round an 8mm spanner and a set of allan keys to remove the frames....and the bags are no good without the frames.
Looking at mine again, the yoke is adjustable, you lace it to the length you want, so you could probably put it over the set, but that may putpressure on the seat that it's not use to, and ultimately cause the foam to disintegrate.
No they're not big, but if I can put a females worth of stuff in for a 4 day excursion....you lot must carry more than me!!!
If you have any further questions - i guess I'll have to learn how to put photos in...
