[QUOTE="Oldhaven, post: 82040, member: 2879"] Marcuus, you are just about an inch narrower with your panniers. I think the shape of the bags is kind of deceiving. I have to admit these look quite like they belong in "Bye Bye Birdie", though I don't expect Ann-Margret will ever ride with me. The Buco's measure just a hair over 29" wide when mounted. I will be glad to get the lights on these hooked up since I have never had any great confidence in the tiny STOP light on a black motorcycle, even though it now has LED's. I am not sure it was worth fitting them to the Craven carrier, but I did not want to make a fully sprung subframe. Maybe someday when I get a welder. The bags are available as reproductions, but I believe they come as bare fiberglass, and some of the hardware is available redone in SS. That's what I have on mine since the original stuff was pretty rusty. The original lights are also hard to find, but others can be adapted. I found some to replace the broken ones on mine on ebay. I also had to make the subframes that fit the bags to the Craven V rack, since the Honda mounting system will not work, and I did use the rubber mounted clamps I mentioned in an earlier post above. Now I have a way to carry raingear, a bike cover, and some spares. [/QUOTE]
