    Do not think my previous thread work so I will try again .I need some hard luggage for my Tiger 800 .I already have the Triumph top box and now I need some Panniers for my trip to Austria in June.I like the look of the Hepco and Becker luggage. Anyone used this make or can someone recommend a good set of panniers for the Tiger. I am not a great lover of the Triumph panniers ,they are a lot more expensive than Hepco and Becker luggage but are they any better?

    I was fortunate to have my panniers "Chucked in" also. Now looking for the top box. As my panniers are labelled Triumph i will have to get the top box to match......or is that a bit OCD ish?

    Possibly bob..... possibly, but I've done exactly the same :blush:

    When I ordered my new bike last month I thought it best to add the Triumph top box to match the 'free' panniers. If the bike ever arrives I'll tell you how it looks.

    Watch they don't charge you 10% to fit it bob, when I looked at my final invoice there was a cost for the box (£280) and a charge to fit it to the bike (£28). Needless to say I'll be fitting it myself to save money.

    Thanks for the advice Reggie, I have my bike at home already so will tell them when I order that I will fit myself.

    If you're looking at the inner bags I took the givi ones and they're cheaper and the quality is superb

    I just purchased a new 2016 800xcx. Triumph is giving me a top box and panniers free. It' been over 90 days and I have not received them yet. Anyone else having this problem?

    I hope you didn't pay anywhere the retail price, for a 2016 bike purchased at the back-end of 2017 ???
