What kind of cover with bags on?

Is there a cover out there that will fit the sprint well with the bags on? I have a large cover that just barely pulls over the coocase mounting plate I have on there. I'd like to be able to cover the bike with the side bags and topcase on while I am on a trip.

The Triumph cover works great. It expands for when the bags are on, and velcro strips resize the cover smaller again when panniers are off.

Good question. I have a Triumph top box but I only use it on long hauls which works out to be the 32nd of Never which is the 366th day of the year so have never thrown the cover over bike+topbox. If I had to guess I'd so not, but check with your dealer.

If i'm not mistaken

I think TatooRedHead might have been working on the issue about a cover that also works with the top case.

I just purchased one, I bought the Guardian Ultralite Plus Cover.

I had to return a large and get the X Large.

It fits perfect with all three bags on.

Good quality material and I'm very happy with it.

It also packs light and small with a pocket built in. You really have to squeeze it in there though.

He is correct.

My cover was cut and tailored to fit with all three stock bags on the bike.

I helped out a company that was tailoring the project for Triumph USA to be sold soon from Triumph Worldwide.

Expect a cover that fits the bike with all three bags to be released this season.

I will post photos when I can of my bike and the cover fitting it perfectly.



I'm rather proud that my bike was the guinea pig test subject for the tailoring of the new product for Triumph.
