Mounting Systems

There are two mounting systems depending on your bike.

CS&V Quick Release Mounting System for:

  • Triumph Rocket 3
  • Triumph Speedmaster & America
  • Triumph Thunderbird Storm/ Commander
  • Triumph Thunderbird 1600/1700

The CS&V quick release lockable mounting system is discrete and strong and is supplied unmounted with the saddlebags so you can mount them in the best position for you and your bike. Because you mount the quick release system on the saddlebag yourself you can customise the position of the pannier on your motorcycle to suit your requirements and the clearance requirements of your indicators and exhausts. Mounting is straight forward involving drilling 4 holes in the back of the saddlebag. 2 bobbins are supplied with the kit which bolt onto your rear fender mounts (fitting hardware supplied). The bags then simply attach to the bobbins and lock in place. Removal is just as easy leaving only the discreet bobbins in view.

The standard CS&V lockable easy on & off mounting system can be used on the Thunderbird with or without removable backrest / sissybar.

If you have a Thunderbird with detachable backrest, no problem! An additional mounting kit can be ordered. See our Thunderbird luggage listings for details.

The lockable click system mounts on the saddlebag permanently and is lockable to the saddlebag holder. When mounted the lock is on the inside of the saddlebag.

The saddlebag holders are manufactured from steel and chrome plated. They mount permanently to your motorcycle. The click system allows the saddlebag to be easily mounted/removed from the saddlebag holder.

The click system is supplied unmounted from the saddlebag so you can customise the position of your panniers in respect to indicators, suspension and exhaust clearance. Mounting the click system to the pannier is a simple job. Three holes of 0.5mm and one of 20mm diameter need to be drilled.

Saddlebag Construction

All leather saddlebags are constructed using Polytech reinforcement which is a 2mm polythene reinforcing panel on the bottom, back and lid. The backside is a rigid HDPE panel to allow attachment of the mounting brackets. This makes for a very form stable saddlebag.

Standard leather is 2-2.2mm, premium saddlebags are available with up 5mm thick bull leather. The synthetic leather bags are reinforced in the corners and the bottoms are doubled with a heat resistant textile.

One of the weak points of a saddlebag are the corners so all corners are reinforced on CS4 saddlebags.
