I needed panniers for our overnight ride to Sutherland, but learnt about burning a hole on the exhaust many years ago with my first bike, I thus needed a frame to keep thm off the exhaust and from tucking under the rear wheel. I tried to buy the 1200GSA (metal pannier box) Pannier frame...NO Luck. In desperation I bought a length of 25x5 mm flat bar stainless steel and made this up. The panniers I use are the Oxford SportsPanniers (in pics.) It would be very worthwile to look at the Kappa range of panniers I'll try and set-up details under LINKS, otherwise try Auto Atlantic or your nearest dealer. Pannier Frame: RHS Veiw with LHS in backround Pannier Frame: LHS Veiw. Note strap with bolts going over to RHS RHS with helmet lock: Note strap with bolts going over to LHS LHS veiwed from rear RHS Pannier LHS Pannier Both on the bike: The straps velcro under the pillion seat. They can't be stolen. I take a carry bag with to take things to the tent, leaving them on the bike. If you wish to ask more you're welcome to ph 0827723527 I'm sure a way can be found for the 650's A loaded bike.
