    Looks like I finally have a buyer for my goldwing and that means I can customize the Triumph! I am really interested in hard bags, they don't have to be large, just a change of clothes, phone accessories, gloves etc.
    Does anyone offer these?

    yes, Viking does and they are made especially for the Triumph America/Speedmaster. go to there web site and look up the bags for your bike.
    I have them and they are excellent and not an arm and a leg in cost. Good luck!

    Fantastic! Exactly what I was looking for! I have a set on order $250 out the door! They look to be decent quality and fairly easy to install.

    Yes they are very well made and I have been through some pretty bad rains and no leaks. I added some bigger washers on either sides of the bags over the mounting bolts, it makes them much sturdy. Enjoy!

    yes they look great! I just got back from a 3500 mile trip on my 2010 America to Yellowstone, she rode great and the sights were awesome! Enjoy your America brother!

    Err, I’m not sure what hard bags are. Do you mean soft fabric bags with some sort of framework inside them?
    I have metal boxes (panniers) on my Rally Pro. Surely bags are not as secure as boxes?
