[QUOTE="timetraveller, post: 123489, member: 456"] Marcus, My own feeling is that different systems are required for the open and enclosed models. On the open models then I think that a man of your talents could do what I suggested above and use two tubes behind each rear tube to take spigots on the pannier frame. However, the enclosed system is able to take a much more streamlined system, more in keeping with the curves of the rear end itself. There are mounting lugs on the inner steel frame which, if I remember correctly have a 1/2" BSF internal thread. On my own bike I drilled through the fibreglass to get access to the top two (one each side) and then made a top carrier that used angled spacers to mount the carrier on those two bolts and it was stopped from rotating backwards by a flat piece on the carrier which sat in front of the fibreglass where the rear of the seat sits. If I was to design full panniers then I would still use the same top mount but use the two lower mounting holes, each side, behind the fibreglass. Rather than drilling through the GRP to get access to these two threaded holes I would make a bracket with a 'U' section. It would have to be curved and about a foot long. This would bolt into the two threaded holes, curve under the lower edge of the GRP. go down under the GRP and then upwards and protrude about half an inch out from the GRP.
