Got my pannier cases in last week from Motostorm in Italy -they were very fast to ship, less than 5 business days!!
After ordering them, I discovered the racks to mount them were out of production
No matter thanks to an old Marthy post and this forum (search is my best friend when in need) it was simple.
First I made a template from the back of the cases for the shape I required and then went to work with 10mm aluminium tubing.
Heating it up and taking 2 -3 turns at bending each corner (bending corners in multiples reduces the likelihood of the pipe deforming) and bingo in no time had the frame shaped.
As I dont have access to a TIG welder I got a local shop to do the welding for me and in all for about $100 including materials the racks were done.
Now I just want to paint them black
