Man that is one BIG box. LOL does that mess with your handling on motorways ?
cheers

I load it down pretty well as I'm away at work for a couple days at a time and it's no problem. I bought a Madstad for it but I'm not putting it on until winter. I've heard of top boxes interfering with airflow, we'll see.

Just for grins.

I took this picture today just for grins and figured some of you guys might be as jaded as I , so by all means comment on when is it ''TOO MUCH "" gear for safe travel.

I set up everything I used to take on my BMW GS when I went on long tours. Never had any idea I would ever do that with my SS but just had to see how much I could pile on.

Decided I might want to change the name of my SS from Lean Mean McQueen , to " LITTLE MULE" LOL


cheers

They might end up calling you "Wheelie Mule" instead. That's a whole lot of weight on your caboose.

YOU are not the first person to suggest this as a very real possibility. Did this as a joke as I didn't add this bike to make long trips on but had all these bags from past trips with variable

luggage needs and wanted to see what it would look like if I just put them all on at once. Thinking it was far fetched and too much weight (not to mention bad aerodynamics ) I wisely chose

not to do any dry runs on the interstates around Atlanta. LOL This would not be considered a large load however if you were in India or Thailand somewhere as they are known to put a family

of six or more people plus a couple of dogs in panniers on their motorbikes . These guys are riding 300 liter mopeds too no a 900 liter bike. LOL

 

[BonesOverMetal]

Wow!
That is loaded.
Good to know how that SW-Motec 60L bag fits though.
I am planning a 3 week camping trip with just that bag alone.

I see this being the case with your bike... :grin2:

I found that for my camping use the 350 model holds everything I need and is much easier to manage . Rode 8000 miles last Spring from Georgia to Oregon and back in a big loop including Canada and the 350 sat on the Pillion seat ahead of the top case on my BMW R 1200 RS. I was kind of pushing me into the tank most of the trip on the RS and I am glad I did not take the 600 model along as that particular bike is short on seating. Just a little advice hope it was helpful.

I camp with one air/foam ground mattress , sleeping bag Big Agness two man ten with fly and Footprint and not much else . It all goes in the 350 SW Motech bag with room for my compression pillow and a pee can . The two panniers and top box handle all the other duties, With the SS, If I were serious about traveling a long way , I'd stay in hotels . LOL

Where's the fun in that!?

I know what you mean though. I'll post a pic of it all loaded up when I go.

Street Scrambler Side Bag

Seems Triumph could make a killing if they offered a rack to put a nice Givi case on the left side. I went with the SW-Motech, pretty clean setup. It's the SYS-Bag 10L. I had to make spacers for it to clear the Euro LED lights. It's small but it's nice to throw hat, keys, wallet, water etc in there. Looking to see if I can use the backing plate on a larger bag down the road.

Zener,

Good looking bag

I'm very fond of SW Motech bags and have many of them in strive on my two bikes. I had not seen the one you show above and it looks pretty good. The offset is unusually wide between the bike which makes me think It would work well also with the optional Fox reservoir shocks which I have on mine now. Not all racks are compatible. To address your comment about Triumph using racks to accommodate GIVI , I would add , they already do have racks MADE by GiVI to fit many of their Dual Sport and Adventure bikes like the Tigers etc. They also make a rack which is a plug and play for their OEM top box that appears to be a GIVI product and the rack they use looks like and exact copy of the Monolock (not monkey) standard rack for top boxes. ˇThis set up is pretty much a minimum rig though and is only rated for six pounds. Most of my gear I carry if I'm going any distance is going to be more like twenty pounds per bag or pannier . I have seen a full compliment of Givi Dolomite bags on the Bonneville T 120 and they look great , and come it two configurations both top loading and drop down lids which is the same bag actually as their Dolomite Smaller (30 liter) top box. I have one of those and love it except it should be anodized as it scratches and smudges if you look at it crosseyed.

Thanks for sharing the pictures as it is always great to see what others end up with . It is also nice to know with such a new and popular model bike there are so many options out there already to get the bike outfitted to whatever floats your boat

cheers

I did a few dry runs with some of my dry bags and the GIVI top box with extra fuel cell and one side bag and loaded it all up to see what all it would hold in the present configuration. That being done , I remembered why I bought the GS and made a promise to keep it lean and mean on the SS . It was fun to see just how many bags you can hang on the thing.

Here's a picture of WHAT Not to DO > LOL That is using the SW Motech 600, 350 , another 20 liter on top of the Pax fuel cell on top of the Givi 30 liter top box , the Legend 13 liter side pannier , and the ten liter OEM Triumph tank bag. If they were all loaded with actual camping and traveling gear, I reckon it would exceed the load rating with my 185 pound body by a pretty wide margin and I'm pretty sure I'd have to learn to ride in Wheelie mode most of the way. LOL

I think you are right about this clearing the FOX shocks. I may find that out later if I think I need them. The guys I ride with have new Tigers, the Givi bags that Triumph puts on them are exactly what I would love to see available for the Street Scrambler. Still can't believe they didn't anticipate the market for a nice clean bracket to hold something similar. I was never able to confirm if the items available for the Bonneville would fit on my bike.

 

[zener]

Zener,
That looks really good on the bike.

Thanks! It's minimalist and works for the time being. I'm really hoping to get something on there that would help me carry a couple of growlers or a gallon of paint from Home Depot! And maybe rain gear and a tent someday.

 

[Oldrookie]

Ordered the Givi Street Twin rack from Motostorm in Italy. Arrived two days earlier than anticipated, so that was a nice surprise.

Six bolts to install, took about ten minutes once I figured out where the front bolts went.

Seems well built and very solid.

 

[Oldrookie]

I added a top case this morning. Think it looks pretty good and it will be functional for camera gear

 

[BonesOverMetal]

I installed the GIVI SR6407 Top Rack for Street Twin rack like Oldrookie, because it was flat and didn't have a grab rail. It can also be used for the GIVI Monolock & Monokey Top Cases if I wanted.
Also installed the Street Twin GIVI TMT6407 Side Carriers For GIVI MT501 Metro-T multilock Saddlebags, which is compatible with the rack.
They sell them as a left and right pair, but I only installed the left and the saddlebags can be purchased individually, much like the Sysbag.

 

[Oldrookie]

Turns out you can't get a head of lettuce, two loaves of French bread, three packages of trail mix and your sunglasses in the Harbor Freight top case.

You can, however, get a drawstring backpack in it which will carry all of that--so in the words of Charlie Sheen, "Winning!"

 

[Oldrookie]

Found a Givi mounting plate I had forgotten was in a box of SV 650 spare parts. Fabbed up some mounting brackets and mounted my 36L case to the bike.

Not sure it fits the spirit of the bike, but it holds a lot of stuff.
