Featured Got My New Toy Home Last Evening

Traveler, I like the looks of the bags, can you tell me the brand and where you got them????

 

Thank you! They are the Triumph leather bags. Pretty decent quality too. Quite spacious & go on & off rather easily as well.

 

Thanks Traveler; are they the Large size//

 

I don't recall them offering various sizes.

 

Traveler, thanks for the quick response on the Triumph Saddle Bags!! Looks like they fit the frame well.
Can you find the Triumph part number on them; I think it is A9508159 'Triumph Large Leather Saddlebags'.

 

I'll have a look.

 

Rail kit is 9518219

Bags are 9518202

That info off the Bill of Sale

 

Traveler, thanks a bunch!!

 

Hope that helps!

 

I'm happy with using a paddock stand on my Street Twin. I fitted the rear axle spindle bobbins from TEC and use the stand I have for two of my other bikes. Obviously the disadvantage is that I can't lift the bike if I'm away from home but over the years I can't recall that ever being necessary.

 

Traveler, thanks; decided to go with a SAC bag that I could strap to the seat and use as a backrest on my T120; bought one in 2002 for my Harley and was made quite well; but, have saved your info on the Triumph bags for future.

I have something very similar on mine but it's a Saddleman. Comes in very handy, especially in cooler weather, for storing gloves, a light jacket, glasses, etc. and of course a candy bar or 2. Originally bought it as a bag for the luggage rack on the trunk og the 'Wing but don't recall ever using it. Guess it seemed like a good idea at the time. I'll eventually add a luggage rack & put it there. But for the time being it's working just fine where it is.

 

Traveler, exactly what I want my SAC for; especially the candy bar and maybe a hot coffee thermos☕

 

Traveler: changed my mind on the SAC; bag is 13 inches high and mounted behind me on the seat = hell to swing my leg over to get on the bike; will have to reconsider; am attempting to keep the minimalist look of the bike without saddle bags; but function may prevail.

 

How you mount the bike makes a difference. Try standing on the peg then swinging your leg over.
Just a suggestion.

 

Traveler - settled on Viking Incognito XS saddlebags; wrote a bunch about them on another thread.

 

To raise the brake pedal on your Triumph Bonneville T120:

• Locate the brake rod or linkage.
• Loosen the locking nuts on both sides.
• Adjust the rod to raise the pedal.
• Tighten the locking nuts securely.
• Test the brakes before riding.

 

Tks! Figured that out some time ago. Don't recall ever having to remove any covers to access that rod before. Usually just had to lie on very cold concrete, on my back, & look up to find it
