As it's pouring again today, I decided to start fitting my bags on to the bike.
It's been a while since I've used the panniers and they've got a couple of holes in the cross piece that the bags clip onto. As I couldn't remember which one to use, I thought it better to try them out while I've got time to experiment.
Just as well I did!
I fitted them every way I could think of but they still didn't seem right. Eventually got there. I had been trying to fit them without the sissy bar and side plates fitted. having them on means the cross piece has to fit over the top of the side plates so without it they were hanging loose.
As I'm using the bike to go to the Erskine Hospital charity ride on Sunday, I had planned on removing them for that but I may just keep them on to save the hassle.
Then I can get packed up through the week as I'll be leaving at sparrow fart on Friday.
