    Hepco & Becker RD04 Pannier Racks fitted

    Arrive today whilst I was at work.

    1 crappy page of instructions with rubbish pictures

    Never mind took off both side panels and away I went, less than 45 minutes later all done.

    Good Points

    They were a perfect fit and went together easily, all bolts etc provided.
    They are balanced either side and both stick out the same amount.
    They clear the original exhaust nicely, and still allow the small side box on the left panel to be opened.

    all in all not bad, a touch pricey at £189 delivered and they took 3 weeks to arrive from Germany.

    Tomorrow its the panniers to be fitted - nice new Ardcases in White

    then I might even treat you all to some snaps

    Got her all finished last night after an hour fitting the boxes.

    My biggest worry now is the weight distribution, i already have the Rear wound up as fully as I dare but I reckon the front is gonna end up as vague as a politicians answer and very light, That will be an advantage in the Dunes of Morocco I know but not so good on the trip down

    Might be a new spring coming soon depending on the test ride today

    Overall 40" wide for anyone thats wondering

    Lovely crisp morning so out for a few pics:

    Looks good

    Might I suggest you paint the lids white too? If you're heading to hot climes you may well appreciate it! I painted(badly!) my Givi topbox white and it made a hell of a difference to the inside temperature...important when brining my milk home from the supermarket in 40+deg in the shade

    Progrmmer / 621andy,

    I'm sure Farmboy would answer your queries/ comments, but he sold this machine nearly 2 years ago (see last post date - Jan 2009!)

    Saw that, but by the looks of things farmboy was active on the forum not so long ago, so maybe he will answer my question
