Paging Salad Dodger - better cancel the order for the GoldWing's Spa. -- Lozzo Versys 650 Inter-Continental Hyperbolistic Missile , CBR600F-W racebike in the making, TS250C, RD400F (somewhere) BMW E46 318iSE (it's a car, not one of those 2-wheeled pieces of shite they churn out)
If you want some pics of the stock BMW fittings, let me know as I'll be visiting my '81 R65RS tomorrow and can magic some up
I think I'd go for minimum hassle and find OEM frames and boxes. Plenty around. The frames are quite unobtrusive, unlike the Krauser kit.
Obtrusive, maybe not. **** ugly, definitely. If the panniers are on the bike all the time then it won't make any difference, but if you run with the panniers off then I'd go with the BMW frames every time
<snip> You should have received the set for perusal by now. If you haven't figured it out: the lower brackets fix to the footrest bracket or similar. The upper ones to the top shock mounts. The back brackets mount to the tail light/number plate bracket and are held together with a short bolt, nut, and a couple of large washers to clamp them up. Everything's very adjustable.
Got them ta. Too late/dark/knackered to look this evening, will try tomorrow. Thanks for the info tho because it wasn't obvious which bit goes where.
