That was a very useful video . My set will be delivered by the end of December . I will mount it myselve. How do you clean the exhaust pipes coming direct from the engine ? Love my bike, the GT is a fantastic bike....
Hi Paul, where did you buy your adaptable luggage rack ? it look nice and seems to be larger than the original. I am trying to find one for my new GT .By the way, thank you for this video on the panier installation. Very useful. Best regards
Hi, I made the rack as could not find anything I liked. It's made from a sheet of 6mm aluminium and 2 lenths of square section bar that fits into the rear seat back rest. Needs a bit of milling and welding but nothing too extensive.
Very helpful video. After installing, I notice that only the right saddle bag seems to wobble compared to the left one. I see that the right pannier rail arm is showing more lateral movement. I will appreciate any suggestions to fix my problem. Thanks
Never had any problem with my installation and panniers are relatively firm on both sides. Worth checking to see if the wobbly side is just a poorly manufactured bracket, measure up the lateral movement and send Triumph an email asking if it is within acceptable tolerance.
I had the Yamaha Vmax 1700 before the Rocket and it was a more powerful bike although a much more snatchy ride due to its faster throttle response. I find the Rocket to be much more measured ride whatever mode its in with a smooth throttle response so it does not feel scary until you look at the speedo. I suspect the engine has got a lot more power in it, just needs a remap of the ECU combined with a power exhaust.
It is sickening to me that these expensive panniers are not waterproof and they are so tiny. The new Rockets are awesome but these panniers are crap. Triumph should be ashamed of putting something like these out there.
Excellent Paul thank you! Having waited nearly six months for the rails to arrive I can finally get on with it!👍🏼
What a hot looking bike got to love Triumphs I currently ride a T120 would love one these, but is it to much bike for around town and weekends away
I've heard they fill up with water in the rain! Personally, I'd rather still use the pannier mount but adapt it to fit hard case panniers
Looks good .. I did not think it would .. but for the money .. they should have been included ....
That was really helpful. Thanks!

That heat from the engine is manageable for city ride?? as i have a bit of city ride aswell and my major concern is the heat from that massive engine.
Looks good !! good job!
They look awesome

Does key assembly come with bike or panniers
When you get the bike new, it comes with 3 spare key barrels, they are in the locker behind the rear seat.
Another owner reported that the bike is power limited through the ECU even in sport mode. Are you aware of that?

What’s underneath that backrest if you take it off? Is it removable ?
I've not taken it off so don't know, assume it is removeable as its an optional extra on the 3R
Whats stopping anyone opening them in the same way pushing in the pin.
Need to open the lock before you can reset it.
Great!. So, actually anyone with a small pin on them can reset the code and open them?
The panniers have to be opened before you can change the access code number. just like all key pads
@@wapsac hah I was just wondering about this
Am I right in thinking these fit on either models?
Yes they will fit either models
Are they large enough for a helmet?
No helmet will not fit in the panniers, i still use a laptop cable lock for my helmet.
Is the pannier water proof?
They are probably shower proof, but you can buy separate waterproof inner bags.
