Mates Storm

[albertaduke]

Guys my mate just got a storm yesterday, he's not much of a PC guy so I said I would ask you lot a question.
First here is his bike



He doesn't fancy paying the huge sum for triumph luggage, so what are the alternatives? Are there some aftermarket panniers he could make fit?

Just had a google moment and found these Link Removed

these quick detach bags are very good I have them on my 2006 R3 they click in with one hand and do not sway at all and they come off with two fingers I replaced the upper leather straps with solid handles from a suitcase and keep them oiled

still like new..

Thanks for posting up the link CanberraR3, can't say I have any of these problems with the angry fly screen, I like it better than having no screen but put a full roadster screen on for long hauls.

Also just to be clear, I used a rocket front end fixing kit to fit the screen to the storm but had to modify it slightly to make it fit.

Thanks for the input and link...those flyscreens are sick! very good detail!

Sorry to the OP, think I somewhat hijacked the thread

Big Doug, the Mrs just bought a Storm, nice bike. She has decided to go with throw over bags, easy to take on and off and no problems if you aren't going to need them very often. I think the bike looks better without bags hanging off it all the time.
I just got a "Dart Mantra" screen from the UK, looks a lot like the R3 fly screen and just as good.
