looking for a sissybar and saddlebags for my 95 t-bird, can anyone give me the scoop were I can find some, also does anyone know why you cant get any parts for the older thunderbirds on the Triunph webpage.

Those parts are a bit rarer than hens teeth, so you best bet is probably monitoring ebay for the genuine Triumph parts.

As to Triumph not listing accessories for the older models it's because they seriously underestimated the demand and underproduced those parts accordingly.

Now that the triples are defunct it wouldn't make sense to produce accessories for them.

Sissy bars from Hermy's

Panniers at Greay Bay

Hermy's may have the panniers, too, but I couldn't find them on their site.

you shoudl check with them before ordering - the 95 had a different rear subframe / fender mounts than the later bikes. I have a sneaking suspicion that the parts shown in those links will not work on your bike. However, those places may be able to get hold of the ones that will work.

If you're not set on OEM sissy bar and bags check out my album for the luggage rack/sissy bar solution I came up with.

I've been thinking about switching my OEM leather bags to these hard bags and mounts...Mutazu. If you go for these let us know what you think about them.

Good Luck! (Also FYI, don't wait for my bags, the are specific to the late model Adventurers)

Check in the classifieds (I'm sure you have) but I saw some of the panniers like mine (almost $400 at Great Bay) for sale at $200, I think. See my album for picks of the panniers. I also got lucky and found a used grab bar and luggage rack in the classifieds here.

Good luck and enjoy!

I use a set of Saddleman throw-over bags and use a couple of bungee's for support. The bags have a leather tie on the front and rear near the bottom that I tie to the passenger peg mount and the rear turn indicator and the bungees keep them away from the rear wheels. The nice thing about these bags is the velcro attached to the inside of the lid. If you forget to buckle the bags shut the velcro keeps the lid from flapping so all your stuff doesn't blow away.

I personally didn't care for the triumph bags they seemed a little small. I found set of throw overs and made some simple mounting brackets out 3/8 ss tube and polished it to shine for when I don't want extra baggage.
