    There's a Youtube video of someone who bought a pair to go with his new T120 and paid about £400 for them. He slated them good and proper, so it's no great wonder they're being sold cheap.

    My original T100 came with a set of genuine Triumph leather panniers (too village people for me so I sold them on). I did use them once but the shape of the opening meant that you couldn't fit anything in!

    My Speedmaster came with them, and I can confirm that they are hopeless. Pain in the backside to open and can't get much in them.

    All ready have them on mine & love them.

    Not the exact same as the one's being sold. Waterproof, easy to access, means I can carry waterproofs, visors, small toolkit, etc. Had a 40l roll bag and panniers for a two up, week around Ireland last year, coped easily. Put all my stuff in small roll bags before putting them in panniers, but more for organisation than actual need to protect from wet. Pissed down for 2 days solid, and no wet got in.

    Coming from a GSXR with space fro 10 fags under the seat, panniers are great. My pall lost her rubber pad for under her tank bag the other day, so instead of scratching tank, easily fitted it in my panniers.

    And I do like the look, panniers, sissy bar, wee screen. Also like the speedmaster stripped back, single seat look, but not what the America was bought for, that is a two up - comfy load carrier.

    I (formerly) feel the pain - there is just about enough space under the seat of my Fazer for two bottles of Bathams and a Reg May or Keith Alderson pork pork pie (Littleade should know about these, living just down the road from Bridgnorth....), but now the panniers on the 'Merica can swallow more pork pies and bottles of beer than I can possibly consume in one sitting (and believe me I've tried!)

    Viking Universal large leather motorcycle saddlebags an affordable price, not very cheap, but you can buy this saddlebag at the best price. These saddlebags have a key lockable hard shell, internal pockets, water-resistant, velcro strap, and free hardware.

    I personally use their bags and I am very satisfied and comfortable with this brand. I am just sharing my experience with you guys. I am not forcing you to buy their products. And there are many brands that you can try.
