I agree with CR 7 months ago, (strange username!) I've been wondering if hard cases on T 120 would be dignified or not. You've shown evidence of much coolness. I now have confidence I can fit them without the bike looking like it just came out of the farm implement shed. Thanks.
You can take a flat blade screwdriver and wedge it into the hex head bolt to keep it from turning and take the nut off the back and remove the footpeg as a whole unit. Much quicker!!
Wonder if they make smaller ones those look way too big on that bike. They styling needs to be more retro for that style bike as well I think. Other than that they look like solid hard bags. Longride make some cool retro soft bags for those bikes.
Hi there, after installing the panniers, can the pillion rider sit on the bike comfortably? Your tiny windshield is cute, with that windshield, what is the comfort speed on the highway?
Thanks for the video, I have a question. When you are riding the bike with the boxes installed between 40-55 MPH, and the boxes are empty, does your handlebar wobble? oscillate? I installed the same pair, I have stock shocks in the rear and new springs in the front. Without the boxes, my Bonneville is great, but with the boxes, if I let go of my handlebars, I am getting steering wobble, unless I put like 30LBS in the boxes, then it does not. Just wondering if you are have an issue like that or not. Thanks so much!
Great vid’ Allan. Thank you. A question though. Would fitting the Dolomiti rig interfere with the passenger legroom, and footpegs ? I plan to tour on this bike and will carry a pillion. Your views will be useful.... Regards. Bill.
Bill, thanks for the comment. My experience has been that it does not interfere with the passenger legroom or getting to the footpegs, with ONE exception: when swinging a leg over, be careful and swing your leg as high and wide as you can otherwise you will scratch your leg on the metal lock on the front of the Dolomiti cases. Not fun if you're wearing shorts :)
Nice video Allen, not a lot of ummm ands or buts.....Question though, are the bags flipped right to left? I was wondering about having the locks facing forward. It would seem that they would get filled with grit and water faster that way. Thanks again for a well done video....
You have a great point, and I forgot to mention that in the video. The bags can be mounted either direction. I like having the lid open to the rear, locks facing front, so I don't have to stand "behind" the bike when loading/unloading the bags.
@@allanc452002 they re supposed to mount ocks rea as an added safety feature, So if you ride off forgetting to latch the lid the wind will close it rather than rip it off.
Thanks for the video! Just what I was looking for. Just ordered my 2017 Triumph Bonneville T120 Black. Where did you buy your cases and brackets? Would Givi Trekker Outback fit as well on Triumph Bonneville? Thanks again!
I bought the cases on eBay and the mounts (Givi PL6410) on Revzilla, but the prices were all similar online. Good question about the Trekker Outbacks - I *think* the answer is NO, they will not fit, because the Trekker Outbacks use the CAM mount system, whereas as the Trekker Dolomiti's use the Monokey mounts. Givi's website would seem to support what I'm saying, but check to be sure!
Nice video, thanks. Have a question, is there in any way a problem for a passenger with the cases mounted? I mean, they are not in the way for the rear footrests, or other?
Ove, I had not tried it with a passenger since mounting the cases, but the rear footpegs look clear enough to me. The cases sit pretty wide on the bike also, so you need to be careful when swinging a leg over.
Good, I am in Thailand and bought a T120. It´s just a nice bike on the roads here. But thinking of some way to carry some luggage. I think the Givi´s might be fine. And I think they will be more or less waterproof. Thank´s again. /ove
Great vid thanks. Might it be better to mount the cases on opposite sides so that the locks are at the rear? The locks are not covered, so having them at the rear would prevent water ingress and dirt being driven into the locks. Currently shopping for a T120 and need luggage options, so this was very useful. Cheers.
Greg - I don't know the exact weight capacity, but the mounts and the panniers are very solid metal. I would guess that I've loaded them full with at least 20lb. of clothes and equipment in each bag.
@@allanc452002 Thanks Allan ...they look great and practical ...I have the Classic Triumph waxed cotton pannier, which work fine for pleasure rides ,but not for any Touring Distance ....Enjoyed the video ...and a quick reply Stay Safe ...Stay Healthy .
Hi I want to order some of these boxes, but I am hesitant as I do not know if the adapter for the monkey rack comes with the boxes on purchase, would I have to purchase that separate? I currently have a givi monokey rack with givi plastic top loading e22's on. Kind regards, Stephen.
@@allanc452002 cheers mate, I've found them now with the monokey adapters, I'm also eying up the kappa kventure, they look even better, they come with the monokey adapter too :)
It still looks good with the panniers. Great choice. I might do the same. Givi also has a dark option for the black T120.
Excellent video Allan! Thanks so much!
Looks great on the bike!
Ya know.....I questioned whether this would work....but I gotta say.....I like the look!
Nice video man. Quite informative. Keep up the good work.
They look to be more suited for an adventure or dual sport bike.They are really nice, and appear to be of good quality.
I agree, good quality but not so suited for this bike.
@@orange-paris
I definitely agree.

Man they look good.
good job and nice video ..
Thanks !

Easiest way to break a leg off road. And a simple tip over usually racks the aluminum bags enough that they're no longer water proof.
Wonder if they make smaller ones those look way too big on that bike. They styling needs to be more retro for that style bike as well I think.
Other than that they look like solid hard bags.
Longride make some cool retro soft bags for those bikes.
Leather or canvass are esthetically better for Boneville, anyways thank you gor doing the review and showing us hot if fit.
You don't need to dismantle the footpeg to remove it - just push down on it whilst you undo the nut - saves a lot of time
I concur. Just loosen the nut from the back side and the whole footpeg assembly will be free. Very simple.
Great video, it looks like there is enough clearance to mount this kit on a scrambler w a high mounted exhaust? Any try this yet?

Hi, which lights on crash bars have you mounted? Thanks
Is that the original T120 grab rail, where the Givi rack is bolted to?
Great vid’ Allan. Thank you. A question though. Would fitting the Dolomiti rig interfere with the passenger legroom, and footpegs ? I plan to tour on this bike and will carry a pillion. Your views will be useful....

Do you think this set up works on the streettwin also ?
They would look better in black on this bike and you have them fitted backways too.
Does this item comes with the monokey adapter?thanks

I see this has been a while. Have they been holding up well?
Great video. What are the part numbers for the bags and mounts?
GIVI DLM36APACK2A for the Dolomiti bags (2-pack) and GIVI PL6410 for the side case mounts for the Triumph T120
Thanks for the video! Just what I was looking for. Just ordered my 2017 Triumph Bonneville T120 Black. Where did you buy your cases and brackets? Would Givi Trekker Outback fit as well on Triumph Bonneville? Thanks again!

Yes Dolomiti Panniers seems to be the only option for now. Thanks!
Try Kappa K-venture. These are the same as the GIVI Outbacks, but instead of the CAM-System, they use the Retro Fit.
What's the width of the bike with the panniers on?
Nice video, thanks. Have a question, is there in any way a problem for a passenger with the cases mounted?

Didn't you have the option for black aluminium? They also look great!
Unfortunately, at the time, they were only offered in the natural aluminum color. I agree black would have looked great!
7:47 enter a black bike with aluminum panniers. I see the next video and hear its background music "Paint it black"
Can you fit a helmet in them?
I have a 2017 t120 with the luggage rack fitted will the dolomiti rack and panniers fit without removing said rack
Hey, did u experience any steering wobble when u rode with your empty Dolomitis? Just curious.
Damn

How much weight load max capacity per bag ? Very nice ! Thank you ...good job !

Does anybody know where to get a spare set of adapters for the Dolomiti panniers?
Givi.
Those are the 36l ones, correct? How much stuff can you fit inside?
Quite a lot. 36l is like a very large back pack.
Is this Bike a adventure bike? I don't think so, so why the heavy duty BOXES
Hi I want to order some of these boxes, but I am hesitant as I do not know if the adapter for the monkey rack comes with the boxes on purchase, would I have to purchase that separate? I currently have a givi monokey rack with givi plastic top loading e22's on. Kind regards, Stephen.
Stephen, the cases are sold separately from the monokey mounts. Good luck!
@@allanc452002 cheers mate, I've found them now with the monokey adapters, I'm also eying up the kappa kventure, they look even better, they come with the monokey adapter too :)
Can they be switched around so the lo is are not facing forward so to cut down on debris or water at speed ?
Gary, yes the bags can flipped so the latches/locks are on the back, no hardware changes required, just switch sides :)
Thanks for a quick reply
useful video but would have looked better with black panniers
Yeah that's precisely what I thought
Looks better with no panniers or may be just saddlebags
