Got a Bagger.
« on: November 20, 2010, 11:24:25 PM »
Finally fitted some panniers I've had for over a year,using some old frames I've had for over 30 years.One day I'll paint them black,but for now they can't be missed.

Does my arse look big with these?

Motu - Love the bags!  Good Job!  Looks like Cravens -- kind of retro.  When are you going to put on a top case?   :)

The bags look great.  I like your little windshield.  Do you know what kind it is?

If I want any extra carrying capacity I'll put on the stock seat,and use some throw overs and a seat bag.I'm pretty sure they are locally made here in NZ,well made,but a bit on the thin side for bashing around.I'll check with the guy I got them from this weekend.When I saw them hanging on his wall I said they'd suit my R65 - but he said they would look silly and tried to steer me towards some stock cases he had.When he saw my solo seat he said ''Hey,these little fibreglass panniers would look great on that.''
