I was just wondering if anyone has installed or 'grafted' a set of Sprint ST bags on to a 04 Daytona 955i? The ST one look a bit sleeker than the givi ones that I've seen on others. I'm doing alot of touring and was thinking hard bags would be better than the soft ones I currently have.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Hi,

Not sure how easy that would be on the Daytona. I have the ST, and the mounting rails can be attached and removed. At the rear they screw into the arm of the indicators. The mid-point is a lug on the subframe up under the seat fairing, and the front point is the inside face of the pillion peg. There is a bump stop on the side of the rear mudguard to stabilise the bag.

This is just the tip of the iceberg though. There are a number of strengthening plates that have to be added to the rear of the ST to give the mid-point mount, and to strengthen the subframe (particularly torsionally)

To fit the luggage, I have to rotate the endcan to move it down 4". I'm fairly sure that the Daytona high mount would foul the panniers.

You could probably fashion something akin to the frame that a guy here has made to take the givi luggage, but I would still be uneasy about the torsional thing. I notice for the Givi rack that the panniers sit really high to clear the can.

Here is a link to the bits that make up the ST panniers (The first page shows all the bits)

If you want actual photos of how they fit and what the rails look like, feel free to PM me.

I went the other way. Uprated the front springs, and changed the fork oil, then added the 05 Daytona engine!

Check out my album for pics of my hard luggage equiped 955.

The mounting kit was made up by a forum member dano. PM him for more info. His mounts will take any pannier kit mounting system. Mine are nonfango. But they will take Givi, or Kappa luggage. Not sure about Triumphs stuff. So far I've had no problems re the subframe. The bloke who designed em seems to have had no problems either. Hes done an 11000 mile tour using them so I guess they work ok. Look up his profile theres a link to his blog on there.

Heres a link to a picture of my 06 with Dano's set up. I used different cases though.
