    Hi all.
    Looking to go touring on my Thunderbird Sport ( 2 megas on one side). Looking to try a sort some hard panniers, and top box. The up swept exhaust on rhs doesn't help. I don't have the skills to do the job. Anyone know of a neat solution to the pannier problem... and someone to supply & fit all the bits? I'm based in Windsor ( Berks).
    Cheers.

    Hey Rajan,
    I spent 2 weeks touring Europe last summer on my '98 TBS with nothing more than a saddle bag, 30litre one I think. It was all I needed.

    Don't you dare put an f-ing top box on a TBS!!!!

    I have a similar bag (Bellstaff) you are more than welcome to borrow as I don’t use it any more or make me an offer?
