T120 Black Luggage Bars

Apparantly Triumph don't do T120 luggage bars in black (according to the dealer).
Do you reckon these might fit? -

Good idea Steve - I'll take a tape measure with me next time I go to the dealer

 

I saw some on a Thruxton r yesterday at whiteways should have taken a pic but didn't seem worth it as they're common as muck

 

I looked at those too for 865SE. If you do get them, let us know what they're like for fit and quality.

 

According to their photo there's 29-30cm between the fixing centres. My T120 is 30cm. Think I'll give them a go sometime soon.

 

Well did you go for the saddlebag supports ? and did they fit the T120

 

No, not yet, but I do keep looking at them. TBH I don't like the way they loop from shock top to pillion footrest. Don't think it looks good, but haven't found a viable alternative as yet, so I still may go for them when I come to planning my first camping trip of the year

 

Hepco Becker have just released some mounts / racks / panniers for the new wc's. Not in the UK yet but do a Google search & you'll see them in the US.

 

..sorry, just spotted them on Norman Hydes site

I got a fitting kit for the Motech panniers I already had

I like them as you remove the rails when not in use so little impact on the looks

Pasher, yes they fit. You will need 2 off 8mmx25 bolt socket cap screws s/s (hex bolts). They come in black and took 2 weeks to arrive.

Hope this helps.

Cool - Thanks for letting us know bentango. I've been pondering and looking at options for ages but now with summer and some festival/camping trips coming up I might just bite the bullet and get these.
What's the finish like? Are they 'fit for purpose'? I'll just be using them with a pair of 'throw-over' panniers.

 

Quality seems as good as Givi but time will tell. I will be also using them for throw over panniers.

Have bitten the bullet and ordered a pair.

 

Hi, looks like you have ordered anyway, also not sure this was what you were looking for but just incase..

Thanks Rob but I have a carrier already (the Triumph one). What I've ordered is the sidebars for panniers to be fitted to, or to rest against.

 

They arrived this morning (just over a week from order) and they are fine. They fit OK (as Bentango says above, a couple of M8 allan bolts needed) and I don't think they look as bad as I thought they would
