Qu’est-ce Que C’est Que Ça? (what The Hell Is It?)

Hello fellow Triumph owners.

I just moved to France from the UK and bought my first brand new Triumph 400 Sport.
It came with two thingies, which look like lock barrels, and yes, when I put my key in them, they turn. But what and why are they?
I’d attach a photo but can’t see how….ooh, no, just sussed it. Please see attached images
Help!

TIA

 

Hi GillyBilly

 

Hi and welcome to the forum - I don't know but would guess they might be spare barrels for future luggage maybe. Someone else will be along shortly to confirm i know nothing no doubt

 

What I remember from the Triumph 400 forum is that they are spare locks for Triumph luggage, so that everything works with the one key..... unfortunately the guy who wrote the post said that they didn't fit the top box Triumph supplied (too large a diameter).

 

They are to fit to luggage. This makes the luggage lock with the same key as the bike.

@GillyBilly Welcome to the family. Glad you got the answer you were searching for. And yes spare barrels. Do tap the upload a file button bottom right corner and show us all the bike,

 

How and welcome…

 

Here you go! Blue one for me, red for hubby.

@GillyBilly Nice bikes and scenery. Thanks for sharing.
