Re: [ST] 2005 ST Update

[Neil Lindsey <Neil.Lindsey@xxxxxxx>]

It's great to see that Triumph has reacted to the widespread criticism,
but I still find it hard to understand how they thought they were going
to get away with what they came up originally.  I still haven't seen
them in person, but in the pictures I've seen they look god-awful.  I
appreciate that sometimes things look better in the flesh, but did
ANYONE like those hard bags?

Anyone who has purchased the current system and is unhappy with it will
have the option to replace it with the new set or return the current
ones for a full refund. There is no date yet for the release of the new
panniers, but I'm told it will be within the next few months and to keep
in touch with my dealer.
