    Hi guys,
    Happy to be here!
    Used to own a 3TA and a T100P a long time ago!
    Returned to biking after a 30 year break and just got a Scrambler 400X.
    Loving every minute of it!

    Anyone with any advice onaccessories and luggage for this greatly appreciated.
    As a new model it seems stuff is still a bit thin on the ground so a heads up on any new items appreciated.
    I'm particularly interested in any tank bags that work well with the offset filler cap...

    Thanks

    Here's my 400X! Done about 2200Kms so far. Running well! Having loads of fun! Will be looking for some accessories soon, maybe Tail tidy, definitely some kind of luggage. Ordered Triumph screen and engine bars. Might also dump handguards and fit bar end mirrors. Won't be a huge regular on here but will check in every so often! Cheers

    Congratulations on getting back into biking and acquiring your Scrambler 400X! It's great to hear that you're enjoying every minute of it. As for accessories and luggage, here are some general recommendations along with specific advice for tank bags that work well with offset filler caps:

    • Tank Bags: Opt for adjustable mounts from brands like SW-Motech, Givi, or Oxford.

    • Tail Bags: Convenient extra storage, easily attachable.

    • Saddlebags/Panniers: Consider for longer trips, and ensure compatibility.

    • Phone/GPS Mounts: Get sturdy, adjustable mounts for navigation.

    • Windscreen: Enhances comfort, especially in different weather.

    • Frame Sliders/Crash Bars: Protects in falls or accidents.

    • LED Auxiliary Lights: Improves visibility in low light

    Thank you.
    I got the Givi Easy T EA130B tank bag, magnetic and with straps. Not yet given it a long trip but it seems good, and it has enough space for more than a sandwich!
    Got the Sump guard, Screen and engine bars on order from Triumph.
    Might also be looking for a tail tidy and aux lights.
