Hello Boys & Girls,

I'm Trophy rider and I love the bike, However, I'm thinking of buying a T100 as an every day bike.
Could you point me in a direction for "useful" sidebags?. Is there a fairng option out there that offers any real protection?
If you are able, please give link to pics of these mods.

Thanks and Cheer's,
Tom.

Hepco Becker mounts and removeable cases are available from Twisted Throttle. Parabellum has some really nice fairings (The Scout for Bonnevilles) and windshields for the Triumph twins. Neither of these choices are inexpensive, but they are quality pieces that work well with Bonnies according to several forum members. I do not personally use either, but have purchased other items from both of these vendors. Service was great and the products were superior...

I have the Hepco & Becker rack with Junior 30L sidecases and 45L topcase.




There are also bigger Junior 40L sidecases and a smaller 40L topcase. And supposedly any H&B luggage piece will mate to the rack, so you could get Straykers or Gobis or whatever.

I have the 20" Parabellum Sport Shield, which is in that picture. It provides a ton of protection even for me, a 6'2" rider. I took it off for the summer and put on an MRA Roadshield which is a lot smaller. It provides enough protection to reduce fatigue, but not much more. You might also look into the MRA Highwayshield.

Givi and MRA both have plenty of "generic" screen for naked bike that might work. In this Norman Hyde GT bike, they are using a Givi screen.

SWEET!

Thanks for the pics, it really helps. If anyone has any other set-up, please chime in.
Hepco Becker has a fine product. Lot's of AirHead (Beemer) riders use them. I wonder if the reproduction wixom bags would look good on the Bonnie?. I know they don't hold much, but I love the look on my 74' /6.

Cheer's,

The Parabellum Scout fairing makes the bike a long distance machine, IMHO. I wouldn't do without mine. I have the Cortech bag system...not too pricey, but functional for the few times a year I use them. I use the seat bag a lot, but the saddlebags only on long trips.

I have that stuff(hepco's and parabellum). Makes it a nice tourer without all the junk of overly modern bike. Kinda rides like a old air cooled bmw. Done right for touring. Now if I could only find someone to make a modern carbon fiber windjammer fairing it would be perfect. The hepco are top notch. Better than givi or any other aftermarket system hands down. Waterproof locking nice luggage liner. I could not ask for more. The parabellum is nice not sturdy enough for me. I like the guy on here with the old vintage tracy fairing. That looks cool. The parabellum does not cut the wind as much as I thought it would. Better than a simple barn door but by no means as good as bmw fairing or my old vetter. I loved that thing. Heavy as it gets though. There are is the seat but I am sure u will change that if you get one.
