| | Posted : 22 Aug 2010 - 13:14 Post title : luggage | | | Hi new to this computing lark and looking for some help. I want to fit some panniers to my TBIRD but I do not like the Triumph bags. I would like hard lockable bags (in gloss black...If possible). I have rear dresser bars, quick release sissy bar (back rest), I have also fitted high flow short exhausts and touring seat. Anybody know of a supplier for bags and fitting brackets that would fit. Any help would be great. Thanks Fatboy

I was a bit skeptical about how they would look on the bike. But, they actually have the same lines as the T-Bird so it doesnt look bad. Lots of compliments. Alot of people think they are stock.

Same HardStreet Slimbags as pictured in glossy above on my bike are satin. Will fit your bike just fine. Go to the thread on Saddlebag options and read through it, all the details about installing these bags are there with pictures.

With sissy bar (I don't normally carry pillion so having everything detachable is perfect).

and without (my prfered set up)..

Yes that is a Cravat (Zolti - yes I will name and shame him) 
....and when you take them off you are not left with an ugly bracket..

Now Fasteddy from this site will sort you out as he did for me. Tsukayu Bags and Easybrackets very happy with them - only issue is that they may need a bit of support to prevent a bit of side to side movement (will find a solution to that though). Done 500 mile trip in heavy rain and no water ingress (wish I could say the same for my waterproof suit). Also Mick at custom cruisers Alfreton www.customcruisers.com might be able to help. He is a HD guy but very helpful and has some good stuff if you look beyond the leather Harley underpants (not his in the shop I mean).
Eddy has some great stuff...www.fasteddysports.com

| | Posted : 23 Aug 2010 - 10:31 Post title : Re: luggage (Re: Fatboy) | | | Hi Fatboy, I originally fitted front & rear dresser bars, wife found rear bars a minor irritation (so I ignored her) but I then dropped the bloody thing because of those rear bars; doing a U-turn in a wide empty road, put inside foot down for a trials-type dab, foot hooked under rear bar and down we went. Off came the rear dresser bars. From what I could see, it's the front bars that save the bike from any damage.

| | Posted : 28 Aug 2010 - 00:02 Post title : Re: luggage (Re: Fatboy) | | | Slimbags - they were willing to put a lower gift price on outside so paid about £30 but should have been double that. They were very helpful and took about 7 days from order to door.
Same applied to easy brackets with about £18 to pay.
Postage is a sod with about 90 and 20 dollars extra
