I've got the 3 bag hard luggage set, and I like it. I'd never go back to
soft luggage. I leave the 2 side bags on all the time, and only use the top
bag as needed. I'd suggest the 2 bag system if you are using the ST for
commuting. I got a good deal on the 3 bag system, so I got it all up front.

Subject: Re: Soft Luggage
I use soft luggage (Chase Harper) mainly due to aesthetics, because 1) I
only use luggage 2 or 3 times a year for trips, 2) I don't like saddlebags
on the bike unless I need them (and I don't use the ST for grocery shopping,
etc) and 3) I really despise the look of the pannier brackets when the bags
are not attached, not to mention the low mounted exhaust which looks "wrong"
to me. However, if Triumph designed a hidden pannier mounting system as
found on the Honda ST1100, I'd have hard bags, no question. I think it is
highly unlikely Triumph would design such a system for the ST as the Trophy
would be the likely candidate for that. Also, if I used luggage often, I
would go with the hard bags.

information and opinions, though I don't know for how long I'll be able to
read 50+ email messages per day. I am having difficulty deciding on whether
to go for soft or hard luggage. I'm sure hard has greater capacity and is
more waterproof etc., but the throw-over panniers are a little more subtle.
Does anyone have any comments? Regards, Robert WilsonLondon, UK
