Purchased a Givi wing rack this weekend. Chuffed to bits with it. However I have some fairly skinny 21litre panniers, ideally after something a big chunkier! Does anyone have any panniers they wish to part with? Can part ex for skinnies if you wish Thanks WS

More or less sorted bike wise. MOT has been pushed back to this coming Monday. Bike has had full service. Cooling fluid, brake fluid, oil change and shaft drive fluid change. New plugs The front fork stantion that was heavily pitted has been replaced. Both forks legs have been rebuilt with new bushes and fresh fluid. New Air and oil filter fitted, tappets adjusted. Radiator pipes are new. New thermostat housing. Exhaust welded so it does not blow. Rad fan assembly stripped and cleaned and painted. Footpeg replaced so its not droopy! Givi Rack and panniers bought. Front screen fixed, wish i had a full fairing thou! Front and Rear brake callipers serviced. New Throttle pull and return cables fitted. Switch gear secured. Front fork horn bar and two horns fitted (mainly to help route throttle cables)
Now need new handlebar rubbers, maybe a wider set of mirrors.
Spares are now; One good fork stantion with minimal pitting. One passenger o/s footpeg. One 4 point Givi Monolock rack (as per for sale thread) Two Kappa MonoKey 21l Panniers One Givi 40l+ Top box.

Ahhh, the camera I will be using is a Kodak Z1275 12mp affair. I have two 4gb SD cards which should do the trick. I was looking at mounting a bullet cam, but that idea is going off the boil.
I now have in the house a pile of panniers. As mentioned before my housemate is coming with me and we have both been busy bidding on ebay (different items ofc).
I personally now have, 3 off 45l Givi Boxes, 2 off 36l Boxes and 2 off 21l Boxes. My house mate has 1 off 45l and 2 off 36l boxes.
Nestled near by (the tv) we have between us, 1 monolock rack (for sale) and 3 Givi Wingrack's!
Our other housemate hates us.
