Thruxton soft luggage

I have been looking for some throw-over bags for my TBS and since there where none specifically available as OEM accessories for the TBS, I looked at the ones listed for the Thrux.

Is anyone able to give me the dimensions of these bags.

Specifically how far do they hang down from their mounting point.

I need to make sure that if I mount them under the seat that they will clear the pipes.

TIA

I don't have the thrux soft luggage, but I do have the cortech side bag set up - pretty good, and adjustable strappage system. Better than the triumph soft bags in my opinion. If you are interested I'll ping you some dims over.

Thanks Prop,
I have looked at the Cortech bags and they will fit, but the Triumph bags are bigger and claim to be waterproof which is important now that I am commuting to work on the rainy side of the island.

not sure if you made ur decision yet...I started with the triumphs thruxton specific bags and they burned. You just don't get enough movement out of them. The cortech bags can't be beat. They even come with soft rubber that wont mess up the seat cover. A little silicone sealer and you should be good
