How did you attach them? Should I mention that this might better be in the "accessory" section of the forum?

| | Posted : 11 Apr 2011 - 04:39 Post title : Re: Hard Panniers - Found Some (Re: SeanS) | | | If I might make a suggestion...I notice that you have the shorty pipes, you may want to see about (or if they already have on the bottom) placing some kind of adhesive heat resistant material on the underside of those bags. The heat from the exhaust will deform the bottom in short time.
I had the Beetle Bags on my Rocket Classic and shortly after I got them noticed that the adhesive heat resistant material was starting to peel off. Luckily I caught it and applied some gorilla glue (snot?) to the underside and let it dry and I had no further issue but because of the heat coming out it would be well worth your while to see if you can protect them in some way.
They look good by the way and as some others have said...some details would be appreciated (cost, where did you get them from, etc...).

I saw a chinese bike (Pioneer Nevada) the other day with very neat small panniers as standard.....

Don't know about the quality but they looked very smart.

I have some throw over Triumph daytona panniers. They have a pad that fits around the seat and you can clip and unclip the panniers. Less than 100 squid and recently saw them at 45 squid. Expandably too. If you look in my album there is a pic or two.
