| | Posted : 22 Apr 2013 - 10:39 Post title : Quick fit pannier bracket | | | Hi guys,
I'm sure this topic has been covered previously however I cant find anything current and I cant be the only person with this issue.
I will be off to tour Ireland shortly and finally gave in to the girlfriend's chatter about uncomfortable back seat and having to carry a rucksuck when our friends Goldwing has a big comfy seat and removable panniers.................
So, ??1350 later we now have two touring seats, a removable sissy bar and leather panniers. So far, so good, however the panniers are bolted to the bracket which is great for security but next to useless for practicality.
Options I see are as follows:-
1. Start collect Tesco bags and look like a pair of Kosovan refugees at reception
2. Invest still further and have some sort of inner bags made, which would further reduce the luggage space available.
3. Buy or have made some sort of bracketry to be used in conjunction with the existing kit which would enable me to 'unclip' the existing panniers and use them as luggage.
My guess is that someone has already solved this problem, so any help would be gratefully received.
Oh and before anyone suggests getting rid of the girlfriend and going back to the single seat option, I've tried that but it didn't work

As intimidnator32 has indicated "Fast Eddy Sport" can supply the right gear to get you out of trouble.

With the Easy Totes on Easy brackets all 2 3 bags can come off the bike when you go to your romantic Bed and Breakfast for the night.
The front of the bag has a slot that slips over the back rest and the bottom rests on the rack making a secure mount. I use this for grocery shopping with the bike.
