Hi I have just picked up latest mag road rider - ad of HEPCO Becker.

I called them up spoke to Judy and they do after market for Tbird sissy bar bags and rack and a few other bits. At first hand they appear to be half the price of Triumph Australia -
Anybody received parts from Hepco and thoughts on the same.

Sick of being ripped for over the top $$ by Triumph and then demanded to be loyal. !!@@# that!!

Cheers

Hi Mike,


Hepco & Becker are German. They have EXCELLENT quality products!
Infact I have the Hepco & Becker Engine guard for my Tiger 900. It is TOP QUALITY!

Regarding Saddle bags for the TBird. I too am currently looking into what setup I wish to install/have for my Bird, and I have come to the following conclusion:
Brackets: EDGE Quick Release Brackets (Formerly know as Gost Brackets)
Bags: Hepco & Becker "Buffalo"

Why Hepco & Becker? Simply because they have a larger volume than the standard Triumph Bags. I know as I was just at my dealers 30 minutes ago and saw both with my own eyes.
PLUS - the Hepco & Becker are lockable. OK - so the lock is small and can be hacked into - but for the quick snatch and grap they are the perfect deterent.
ALSO - the Hepco & Becker offer a number of accessories for their bags: 1) Inlay Bags, 2) Outer Rain Covers...
AND - the Hepco & Becker have handles on the top of the bags to carry them away!
AND - Their quality is second to none. Infact I would place them as better finished than the Triumph I saw!!!
AND FINALY - they are cheaper!

But that's only my findings and is what I intend to do!

Leave the pork pies for now - get the sausage rolls while they're hot!

Thatch

Ever bought floor mats at the dealer? Ever bought a new aerator from Kohler? Ever bought a new hose from Dyson?

Ever gotten a deal on any of them?

No... But I did once buy a BIC pencil from Mrs. Miggins Hardware Store.
