I have heard that GIVI makes the bags for Triumph.  Their stuff has a very
good reputation for being waterproof.  On my BMW R1100RT I have a GIVI topcase
along with the standard BMW saddlebags.  In April I rode a little over 500
miles one day in *very* heavy rain the *whole* way.  The bike was out in the
rain for 8.5 hours total, including stops.  While underway, speeds varied 
from 50-80 depending on traffic and visibility.  The temperature varied from
the high thirties to the low forties.

None of the bags leaked a drop.  So I second the question about something
possibly being caught in the seals.
