Came in at just over ??130 including postage.
They are on the small side but perfect for a weekend, big enough to get a sleeping bag, change of clothes, camera and a small set of tools.
They responded to e-mails and sent me a set of the original brackets for free when I queried the lack of fittings, even though they are sold separately.
So they seem like a good company to deal with. However, the brackets are not much good for the Tbird having a fixing point at the top of the suspension, one that looks like it would fit to the rail and a bar along the back intended to fit the rear mudguard, but our don't go down anywhere near far enough for that to be any use. I was hoping that I could fit the original brackets to the easy brackets but it was easier to use one of the existing holes and drill some new ones to fit.
Anyway this is what they look like fitted:

Not wired anything in yet.
Space is tight, had to use some washers to space the panniers out enough to give some clearance from the suspension.

Not sure about these silver lines, they are stuck on and should just peel off, I'm tempted to take them off and go with the straight black.
