Just received my TL1146 kit and S250 box from Pogliani (good price) but horrified when offering up the kit to the rack on my 2015 Tiger 800 XCA. It clearly wouldn't fit according to instructions and I thought I'd have to make up/adapt brackets but then I was very pleased to find this video. I've now fitted the kit as suggested and it looks pretty good. Just a couple of notes: 1. My pannier mounting bolts on the bottom rail were already threaded right though so no M6 tap needed. 2. I used only the smallest of spacers when fixing the bottom of the mounting plate to the new longer M6 bolts on the bottom rail. No other spacers are needed anywhere. Don't be tempted to use spacers between the bracket and plate as this would not be solid when only using one bolt fixing the now vertical bracket to the plate. You want that bracket flat to the plate to stop any flexing. 3. There's a little bit of tape provided for the clamp fixings - use this on the top rail for a nicer fit. 4. The S250 box should be fitted through the four holes on the plate as in the Givi instructions with the o-rings - further back and slighly lower than show in the video which makes for easy access. Doing this means there's no need to move the big bolt and nut on the rear strut as suggested in the video. It all works! Thanks for setting me on the right track,
Thanks for the video. Was thinking of getting this to add a bit of extra storage on my Givi racks (not necessarily for tools) but what a pain in the ass to fit and not that great to access after fitting it.
I got the same xca but didn’t get the exact video for givi tool box your one is 👌🏻& easy for noobs to understand plz suggest any mire we can do it in xca 🤙🏻Happy Riding
Great video, thanks for sharing. One question though, what fit kit did you use? I was advised to use PL1147KIT but there is no way this is fitting to this Triumph pannier mounts.
@@davehewlett1971 thanks for the quick response 😁. if you look at the back of the bracket, the tube comes down, there is a small gap and then there is the mounting point (bolt). That space is the only place you can put the toolbox mount but it’s too high for the toolbox mounting frame. I have the same pannier setup on this video. I see that your mounting brackets come from the top……….ok, I just watched your video again, I’m an idiot!!!!!!! I just thought there was a completely different kit. Really appreciate your feedback, thanks heaps.
Looking at some images of the backcountry 35 I'd yes yes quite feasible in the inside left. There is lots of slack in the mount kit which should work. Good luck! Thanks
Do you struggle to fit the pannier on with the kit mounted this way. Was very skeptical about buying this kit due to the massive cost, now the brackets don't even fit as per instructions, now I've mounted it this way, I have to force the pannier to fit
@@davehewlett1971 I got it sorted, the aluminium bar that you bolt back over the toolbox brackets was being bowed out. I had to file a little out of the bottom half of the aluminium bar for it to fit flush. All works as it should now. Thanks
Thanks for the video... can you tell me what year your bike is and are the pannier frames what Triumph sells with the bike? You used the universal fitting kit but it seems there is a dedicated kit... I am wondering if it is necessary?
A very nice video. Well done Sir. But regarding the tool box. If it isn't completely water PROOF, it's useless. I can imagine being on the side of the road or trail with a flat. Only to find out my tools have rusted to shit.
JustSomeGuy I've had mine fitted now since this video went out, about 8 months. I checked it all last week when washing the bike, and all still dry so far. I commute in all weather. So Id be saying it's great so far. Thanks for watching. 👍🏻🏍️
Got the box, and plopped it on my 2016 Tiger XCA and... it's bloody useless, since the rear support bar of the Givi pannier racks gets in the way of being able to get a tool roll in and out of it!!!
ubermick very sorry to hear that, I've not used the middle shelf which helps, but could you split the roll into two rolls to help.good luck. I've found mine very useful.

Really pleased you had success, thanks for adding such an informative comment. Ride safely and keep your knees in the breeze
Cheers for making the video Dave, this helped me out no end fitting my toolbox. Thanks
Nice vid looking forward to fitting mine on an X-ADV 👍
Thanks for the feedback 😊. Happy riding
@@davehewlett1971 toolbox fitted on the Givi panniers. Integrates really nicely and looks really good

I'll be doing more videos soon. Many thanks for looking.
Was thinking about getting one for my Tiger 800xca but watching this it looks more trothan it's worth so will find something else 👍
Sorry I made it hard to see. Actually a really easy job. I'd recommend another look. Thanks for watching

I think I used that. It works

Thank you for the tutorial
Do you believe it is feasible to install it with a Mosko Mount for the Backcountry 35?

good

I've not had any troubles fitting the pannier back on ever when the kit was fitted as shown in the video. Good luck and thanks for watching

Hi, it's a 52 plate. Standard Triumph mounts and panniers. You do need the fitting kit.
@@davehewlett1971 thanks... what is a "52 plate"... your bike looks like the 2015-2017 model?
Thank, nice
Thanks for the vid. Also for heed crash bars! ...Do you know if the toolbox lock barrel can be changed to match your panniers/top box?
Hi glad you liked the video. Not sure about the lock barrel, but I know you can get replacements. I'd ask your main givi dealer. Sorry. Safe travels

Put your tools inside ziplock bags, then inside your tool roll. I do this even under the seat as little in this world is truly waterproof
NICE

Not a great design and poor instructions by Givi....thanks for the nice tutorial and the alt fix for the support brackets.
Fliteline04 many thanks for your comment. And glad it helped. Regards
