Street Triple Luggage?

I know this might sound like heresy, but here goes. I recently totalled my 955i and am looking for a new bike. I do not want to spend the $$$ on the Sprint or Tiger, but am very interested in this bike. Now the tough question: does anyone offer soft luggage other than the tail pack? I see the stuff for the Daytona 675, but I have found out first hand the expense of a faired bike and I know this one will be more fun as an all rounder. When you're done laughing, please let me know. Thanks!

I haven't seen any myself, other than the tail bag and a tank bag, but hopefully someone will advertise something soon.

Very sorry to hear about your Daytona, by the way. I saw the picture of it in its glory days in the Daytona forum, and that was a really classy machine!

I'd be wary of side paniers given that they'll be mounted close to those silencers but Triumph did show me a brochure with 2 sizes of tank bag so that might be enough if you couple it with the tail pack. Of course a "low boy" style exhaust would enable you to fit one of several aftermarket tail packs / panniers combinations without any worries.

Thanks Diego. She'll be impossible to replace. I am hoping that Triumph has something else in the line up that I can get. I am thinking I'll use the Bonneville for the longer distance riding since its wheel base and tire sizes lend itself better to that type of riding. I like the Street Triple because it has all the right stuff for a really fun bike and if the Triumph tail bag and tank bag are available for it, that should be enough for weekenders and rainsuit. You are right, Jon, because I see nothing for the Speed Triple either. I'm calling the dealer today.

I guess, for me, it will be a tank bag for the front and and passenger handrail and bungees in the back

You need to think outside the box. Mount your tail bag and mount your throw-over soft panniers ON TOP of the tail pack. Or Just get a phuquing big bag to go on the rear seat and rear cowling length ways. Ortlieb do an 85 litre waterproof bag. You don't need side bags.
Hey! You weren't considering a passenger as well were you? Tell her to get her own Street Triple! Lazy cow!

I bought the Triumph magnetic tank bag as it fits almost everything and just got an Oxford tail bag. Now all I need is the bike. Going in to put the order in!!

Which tank bag did you get the small or large ? Do you think with the large one full it will be too high for comfort ?

I got the small one and it opens up well. It is great on my Bonneville and is very well made. I think it should be very adaptable to the Street as you can move it around a bit on the tank for optimum positioning.

Back To Luggage

Now that some of us have had our bikes for a while, I am looking for a bit of advice on luggage that works with the Striple. Hope some of you may have had some experience? I am a touring virgin, only ever had a topbox before which is not an option on my new bike. I am going for a long weekend away later in the year, will probably take the majority of my stuff in a rucksack, but will also need either a tailpack and/or a tank bag. I will be leading a group so need a place for a map too (tankbag? Mapbag?) It all needs to be idiot proof (and I'll say it, girl-proof) I am already going to be apprehensive about getting the bike on and off a ferry, riding on unfamiliar roads and I don't want to have to worry about my gear. What have people used on their striples and what works please?
