    Got 'em

    I tried the free CCC panniers - maybe slightly too big

    So I invested in some cheap Kathmandu panniers - bit of spare strapping I had in the garage (might invest in some black stuff at some stage), couple of cable ties and voila! Plenty of leg room standing and sitting - pretty sure exhaust won't be a problem - all good

    Not really able to take the big off road knocks,but they will let me explore back roads on longer rides.NZ made some time in the past when you couldn't buy such things here,and the frames are off something like a CB125,and I've had them for over 30 years.Just got to paint them black next.

    My throwover panniers are the more typical motorcycle ones, longer and shallower than the bicycle ones. They are anchored hard & close to pillion pegs and to stop movement tied back to the rear rack. When stuffed full, they go kinda spherical and I had no issues with them sitting against the un-reinforced sidecovers. However when lightly loaded, the side against the bike bowed inwards, allowing the back and underside to wrap under/behind the sidecover and sit against the exhaust. Melted the strap buckles off them. So much for packing light...

    Clint has a simple & effective rack/rail that works well. (which he has published previously if you want more info).
    Cheers,
    Colin

    Kanny;s route 7 pannies went for a wee swim/lie down today.
    All good, but did take in a bit of water.
    Also, a dozen tui fit nicely inside the bag. Win win in my opinion.

    Panniers tested

    Tested out my panniers (waited for a hot day) today - she was hot alright down here - went up the North Waimak - dusty as f%Łk - - packed them tight (glad I didn't fall off and need assistance cos they would have looked in my bags and found my wood tools and fire extinguisher, for weight and the kids sleeping bags for bulk) things I learnt;

    1. Panniers are fine - heat shouldn't be a problem - don't actually know if I need that much space on the DB1k but will be usefull for overnighting up the Clarence next month
    2. A splash of petrol not only marks your (new) gps unit it also makes the plastic screws in your safety / sun glasses disintegrate
    3. Boy racers are a problem on gravel roads on Sunday afternoons

    A good day!

    These are my Pelican lookalikes. Pelicans are reputedly indestructable but also quite spendy. These $99 Kincrome / Craftechs from Bunnings are same size as Pelican 1600s but about $600 per pair less. http://www.kincrome.com.au/web/catal...rtnumber=51019
    have proven dust / water / crashproof so far.
    it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.
    those cheap ass bitches can do anything with ductape.

    I keep looking for that sort of Pelican knock-off at M10/Bunnings but have never seen them.

    Nordie, I got them at Bunnings Porirua about two years ago. I haven't seen them there since, or at any other branches.

    V+Crim, yes they are on the killer, I've got pics including the racks I made, but they've been posted before and i can't get the "manage attachments" thing to allow me to repost.

    (found one that hasn't been posted before - see if this works)

    Pic taken down in the Caitlins en-route to Brass Monkey. Panniers should have been big enough but I tend to take far too much stuff, hence the cricket bag on top

    you could contact kincrome NZ at 80A Hunua Road, Papakura, Auckland Tel: 0800 553 236 Fax: 0800 708 677
    and ask them about these items: http://www.kincrome.com.au/web/catal...ool%252BCases=

    Just did a quick search, these look like them, no price though, and you might have to be a fireman
