1:50 I know this video is 2 years old, BUT Those loops are for molle straps :) There is a LOT of stuff that uses molle straps, that you can put on there. Its really customizable. Molle straps hold on HARD too. I didnt know the bag had these, thats actually REALLY nice to have.

Having moved from a large town into the countryside, I now find my Vespa GTS not very practical anymore. This Triumph is on the cards to test ride, I like this bag, simple yet ticks boxes. Great review Farmer, keep em coming.

Nice review Farmer I also have the bag on mine. One thing that did worry me was the stealable factor. Until I recently discovered there is a locking mechanism inside the bag itself. If you open the velcro inside the bag and feel inside roughly where the lever is on the outside rear. There is a turntable dial which will lock the bag onto the frame. It's a press and turn feature to lock and unlock. I'm assuming like me you didn't know about this feature, would be a nice addition to your video Anyway Keep up the good work on the channel, especially the scrambler 1200 stuff. Cheers Dean

Like you Dean, I discovered the same recently....so recently that no, it's not in the vid ;( Second thoughts - lets keep that our little secret;) Your right though, my bad.... If you can cope with more there will be plenty to come involving the scrambler - working on an interesting solution to the tail tidy (mess)at the moment but also featuring in my Tarmac Trails series. Great to hear from you - Farmer

Great vid again Farmer , the bag is the beez kneez 😊 I have my Vance&hines (the regular one, without the custom bracket) next week and will do the midpipe straight away. Make the heatshield a wee bit longer and make a bracket for the original holder so it's not attached to the suspension. I might give the muffler a clean bash to fit it closer to the shock, like on the oem mufflers. The original rear heatshield is a thing of beauty so I am going to try and fit it. Man this bike is so much fun !! Cheerz.

yes should be a twine set up i test rode the bike and loved it But waiting to hear if i can get the exhaust moved so i can add more luggage before i purchase

Just checked the settings on my rear shocks as they were slightly harsh and a little bit of high end vibration thru rear shocks...both sets were on different settings .....have now set top compression to 14 clicks and bottom rebound to 17 clicks it has transformed it ..what was great suspension to fantastic and comfortable ...really advise anyone who has one of these to check they are set the same on each !

Good review...the pannier seems pretty good!. Although I always look at the frame brackets and think why they couldn't make them sit a little closer to the bike...same with exhaust I guess. Cheers, Steve

Yes, think exactly the same, Stephen - I’ll do the exhaust but probably not the pannier 👍 Farmer

I'm curious as to the solutions I've seen where dual saddlebags are used and how they are fitted. Otherwise, there is a practical rear rack which would be my first purchase. Thanks for the fun review!

Hi there - no wider than the bars, so should be ok 👍 Cheers, Farmer

Good review dude! Surprising what that side bag can accommodate! I agree also that bizarrely, the one sided pannier looks 'acceptable' on the Scrambler - particularly with the exhaust being slightly further 'out' than standard. Back in the day, you would occasionally see 'city gents' doing the one pannier thing commuting into London on their K75s which also looked 'ok' back then, but generally, anything a-symmetrical on bikes should be illegal! I could never fall in love with the front end on my S1000R due to the weird light cluster. I'm liking the Scrambler. Wonder how it compares to the Moto Guzzi V85TT? There's a video for 'Farmer'! ;-)

The loops on the side are for modern military web gear. They make lot's of bags or whatever that can attach to it.

I agree. I've never used any bike luggage as much as I use this bag. And yes it levels the look up of the backend. Surprisingly the waterproof liner is so far waterproof. And yes it's expensive but so is everything with Triumph on it they're learning from Harley? Keep up the good work

Great review! Thanks for it! Is it possible to fix it to the motorcycle? Or you just have to carry it everytime you walk away from the bike? On another note, how did you have installed the Vance& Hines 2:1 exhaust? I thought it was only valid for Street Scrambler/Twin range

hi farmer. thanks so much for the video; it encouraged me to grab a rugged pannier bag for myself. i recently purchased a 2019 XE that came equipped with a Unit Garage 3104 rear rack and an SW Motech side carrier that i removed. i just installed the triumph mounting rack (A9510491) to the bike using the included spacers, and i'm noticing a little bit of flexibility or "play" in the rack. does your rack have play, or does it feel pretty firmly attached to the frame? some flexibility is unavoidable, i suppose, but i noticed the spacer prevents the forward anchor point (the beveled one) from meeting up with the frame. all the weight seems to be on just the bolt and spacer then. the install of the mounting kit is simple, and i suppose that's why no one seems to have made a video about it, but it would be helpful to see how the kit snugs to other folks' bikes. thanks for any assistance!
