    Hi.
    I have just bought a 1996 900 Sprint, low milage, but I need to do a few little things on it. Can anyone tell me whether I can get original Triumph luggage for this, and if not, what would be a good alternative? I have aftermarket pipes on it but don't think that they willl significantly affect anything as they look roughly at the same angle as the originals.

    Hi Chipper. Welcome on board!

    As DD says, I recently acquired the Sprint Exec in the picture above, complete with TRIUMPH luggage. I will, however, want to keep the set up as it is - despite the weight and my diminutive stature! I strongly doubt that you will find the original Triumph luggage anywhere in new or as new state.

    I can, though, advise you that I was interested in the listing here :-

    https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TRIUMPH-...266178?hash=item3fbf59b202:g:yi4AAOSwiiVbzjph

    mainly because you very rarely see this stuff coming up for sale any more and anything in half way decent conditon seems to attract unrealistically high prices. Mind you, unrealistic is relative; unavailable is absolute. Pays yer money .....

    You might consider the period 'aftermarket' alternative :-

    https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TRIUMPH-900-SPRINT-GIVI-WING-RACK-AND-SIDE-BOXES-YEAR-1994-/163131434720

    and these look to be in good condition and a fair price for what's being offered.

    Hope you find what you want. I live near Wellington, Somerset so, depending on where you're located, we could maybe meet and compare notes!!

    Hi and welcome.
    If you're looking for factory panniers I'd just be a little cautious of ones on eBay that ' look' right.
    There are more panniers available for Tigers and these look similar but I think the fittings are different.
    Good luck with your search.

    Great, thanks for the advice. I saw these on ebay and might go for them.
    Cheers for now.

    Givi Wingrack system on offer is slightly different design to mine but it will need a pair of indicators on it. Still available I believe. Hope so 'cos I might need some one day - but hopefully not!
