[Xander]

Hi Guys,
I have been meaning to post these for a while.
Here are my new panniers, took me a long time to make em .. but i am very very happy with them..

Yes they are on!!!

They look the dogs gonads, nice work mate!

Crikey mate! do you do commisions, I could swap you a nice stove for 'em

[Martin W]

Those are some sweet panniers!

Do you do them for an RD03? I'll up Sprocket's bid by throwing in some old mess tins with my stove...and even a few ration packs! How do you like corn beef hash and pork and beans?

Well now, that's just Ludicrous, I may as well go to Touratech and get some...oh no wait, I can't; they don't make them for an RD03...and besides, I'm not a millionaire...

How about I supply you a constant stream of tea and biscuits whilst you tig them up? PG-Tips and Ginger nuts ok?

Thanks guys! and ahh no I dont take orders.. I posted the fold plans on here somewhere so have a crack.. I did not use any commercial parts (except for the latches) so feel free to take the plans and make up a set..I do not have any special tools.. I even made up my own racks out of recycled bits and bobs,, so bike model is irrelevant..

Now they're impressive! Most pannier manufacturers don't know how to cope with high level exhausts (and every bike has unique shapes in that area), so a custom-made pair will give you good capacity while remaining reasonably narrow. Well done mate; my Dad and I are currently fitting a pair of Peli cases to a Hepco & Becker rack. That relatively simple task alone has caused much head scratching. Yours must have taken a lot of planning (and re-planning!!!)

I had the good fortune to see the work in progress. They are as good as they look. Well done mate.

Well worth the effort.
Better that the bought ones and they enhance the bike.
Well impressed.
