Finally Took the plunge

I'm not 100% on the fitting or if there is a different frame for the sprint but the one ones i can find are

You can see the motech frame only attaches to the grab rail, which is where the official panniers attach to as well.

The GIVI frame also uses the set of bolt holes i have circled.

Hi Sagalout,

How stable do you find it and how much load do you normally put on it?

Well, I've only used it for a month, but that did include 1500 miles around europe! I had my V46 case fully packed - I didn't weigh it but I'm sure it was well over the recommended 10kg as it was becoming difficult to close withall the belgian chocolates for the mrs!

Mine is absolutely rock solid stable, and remained so well over 130mph on the autobahn. I guess as it bolts directly to subframe it might vary model to model - best thing would be to ask on a Triumphrat forum.

It certainly does look so much better though. I don't need a topbox all the time so have the plate removed most of the time. Clipped it on this morning and it took 10 seconds - basically 3 metal fasters that you turn 180 degrees and thats it.

It was also very easy to fit the bracket, and the whole thing just feels like a typical solid piece of german engineering

......it is expensive though
