    ARDcases, Ramsey Forty Foot an XL700 and a bloke called Roger

    I've seen much written on the forum about the ARDcases panniers and decided to go for them.

    Roger hadn't done a set on a 700 before so I rode up to Ramsey Forty Foot and he very kindly fitted them for me whilst I sat back and drank tea

    He ordered in a Holan rack to fit them to.

    They are awesome, very very strong and suit the bike no end - even though I say so myself

    Highly recommend them to anyone thinking of these things, worked out much cheaper than most of the other options too - even with the special locks I had requested.

    I'll post pics later in the week

    Hi in case anyone might be interested here's some pics of the Panniers on a 700.

    I went for two 8 inch boxes as the total width at the back is only half an inch wider than the extremes of the hand guards, and therefore filterable for the novice rider that I am.

    By the way if I haven't done the pictures the right way could someone tell me. I just clicked the upload button and then chose them from my images.

    They look the part.
    YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE
