[QUOTE="Oldhaven, post: 78112, member: 2879"] There have been quite a few methods of fastening the bottom of the pannier to the rack, including the Dzus fastener shown previously here and simple threaded connections, but apparently there is a locking type available from the current Craven manufacturer. I have checked the catalogue and the Craven site at: [I]www.[B]cravens[/B].org.uk/ [/I] and cannot find any good pictures or description. Locking the panniers seems like a good idea since it not only helps prevent theft, but is more secure than a quarter turn fastener. Does anyone have a good picture of that type of system? I am looking for a similar solution for my saddlebag project. I also found a Vincent owner's Photobucket album dedicated to Craven obscura at: [URL]http://s67.photobucket.com/user/1951otter/library/Craven%20Panniers?sort=6&page=6&postlogin=true[/URL] But the Photobucket website is so full of ads that it keeps locking up my computer, so go there at your own risk. Lots of good pictures though. the same fellow (are you on here under a forum name?) is at: [URL]http://advrider.com/index.php?threads/craven-are-back.882754/page-2[/URL] With some good pictures and advice, including how to improve the L shaped upper holders by adding a washer to support the rubber bushing and making them a bit longer.
