Thanks Clem, and Nev. I'll give 'em both a bell tomorrow. I'm not too keen on the flea-bay option from the UK, just too many unknowns for me to gamble with. Boxer's suggestion, from Motobins, may be a goer, depending on what they quote for postage. I recently got a book, the Police Foundation, Motorcycle Roadcraft, sent over from UK, and, for a wee thin paperback, postage was five english pounds, so I'm hesitant about ordering two bloody big panniers to me sent by mail until I get some kind of idea of the postage. I suppose that if either the Melb or Bris places have the appropriate panniers, I'd have an excuse for a ride. ;-) regards, CrazyCam

They don't park customer bikes out on the road, and they all work out the back... it never looks like much life there. In fact you could be mistaken for thinking the place was closed even after walking through the front door some days. Nev.. '07 XB12X

The noise level barely rises, though becomes kind of sportier, the engine management system copes fine, and you can fit a full-sized left case. A new foot mounting for the case needs to be made (I can point you to a source for the design which looks simple enough) but apart from that all works well. The genuine cases are brilliant, but never forget to lock them in place with then handles down. Make it a mantra...

(especially if they've had no bites locally). You'd have to be an idiot to not ask. What's an email cost? -- Clem |
