Hi. A very useful video! I think that I've read that the Triumph luggage rack has a maximum load rating of 3 Kg. Have you had any problems with a fully laden top box? All the best. Mike
That is true and a warning label stating as much is included with the luggage rack that is supposed to be stuck to the rack itself. The rack seems to be fairly sturdy, attached by four bolts to the mounting rail, which is itself mounted directly to the frame. I'm of the opinion that Triumph intentionally sets lower weight ratings in order to protect themselves from lawsuits that might arise from someone seriously overloading the rack. Kind of like how they state that a motorcycle that has any kind of accessory attached to it should never be ridden over 80mph. That being said, I always make sure that the top case has the lightest load between it and my side cases. You don't want a bunch of mass that high up on the bike.
Hi there, nice video. I'm sorry but I have to ask: why do you need so much carrying capacity ? Your kit seems very functional, but doesn't it kinda ruin the awesome look of your bike ? Thanks,
Thanks for watching! I see where you're coming from, as the Bonneville is a very good looking bike indeed. But yes, functionality is a big reason why I mounted the cases. I really like how they give me options for carrying things. To a lesser extent, they allow me to go crazy with decals, letting me keep the bike itself a little more tasteful. The best part is if I don't feel like riding with them or don't need them on a particular trip, I can just remove them.
The cases are meant to attach to bike-specific Givi mounts (part number PL6410 in the T100/T120's case). Currently, Givi only lists a TMT rack for the Street Twin which only supports the lighter Metro-T series of side cases.

@@MobiusT120 I agree - you probably excerpt 3Kg closing the lid! ;-)

I wonder if those side cases fit the street twin

@@MobiusT120 I saw that too but mybe since the bike almost the same mybe I get it to fit as well.
@@MobiusT120 the issue is pretty much just the exhaust that been said mybe with some slash cut exhaust should do the trick to add a pair
I really wanted to watch this but just could not get to the end with all that overpowering music.
