bicycle panniers on klr nw rack?
Posted: Tue Feb 12, 2002 5:40 pm
I recently picked up a used Happy Trails Northwest rack but I'm getting
sticker shock from the price of panniers! I have a perfectly good set of
bicycle touring panniers (Super-C), however, made by these guys:
www.carradice.co.uk and they would be great for use on the KLR (they're
durable cotton duck). Anyway, the HappyTrails rack is wider in diameter
than a Blackburn so my panniers won't fit. The panniers mount via a plastic
piece which slides in along a metal strip on the bags themselves. Does
anyone have any idea where I might be able to find a replacement piece that
would allow mounting to a larger (KLR) rack? I guess if I was handy I could
fabricate something, but I'm not. In fact I already broke one of the
plastic pieces while fiddling! I contacted Tim, but he didn't know a
source, so I'm turning to the group. Perhaps a UK KLR rider knows a source?
