Thats great Jim, thanks for the pics! I'm still not sure what to do about luggage, but it isn't an issue yet. The brackets look a little 'diy' with all the nut/bolt connections, but the panniers look great. The bonus of these, is that it doesn't utilise the stock numberplate holder as a mounting point, so its good for the 90% of owners who put tail tidies on. Im still considering a matte green wrap on the bike and mounting a couple of 50 cal ammo cans on the rear!
