The euro light switch must be ordered directly from a UK dealer. I
got mine from Jack Lilley. Cost was $102.00 with shipping. If you
don't do the euro switch the stock switch is mounted in the fairing
sort of under the left hand grip ( hole cut in body work :-( ...
As for the bags they release with a flick of a lever.. well almost .
The mounting brackets stay on the bike, but taking the bags off is a
2-3 second operation.

<excerpt>After several months of lurking on this list I finally stepped
up and ordered a 2000 ST. Red or Blue was the first dilemma, with red
winning out by a very thin margin. I ordered the polished stainless
race can, seat cover, and heated grips. I'd like to have the dealer
(BMW, Ducati, Triumph Marin) fit these using the Euro light switch. I
have a few questions that I welcome any comments, constructive or
otherwise:

1. Have the US dealers been able to order the Euro light switch from
Triumph, or do you have to call a UK dealer and have the part sent
over? How much are they? If I don't do this where does the stock
switch go?
=20
2. This will probably be a little more contentious: I'm on the fence
regarding the 2-box panniers: I much prefer the look of the bike
without them. I believe that a fairly involved mounting kit is used so
that its not as simple as just detaching them when not is use. Is this
correct or are there any quick release tricks?
