Thankyou and thank's for the advice, I will keep a look out for some. Paul.

lovely job there bud,
I think if you check out ex army 58 pattern canvas bags on ebay you may find something suitable. the price seems to rocket if you search for canvas panniers.......
Other auction sites and surplus stores may also stock such items
Regards Nico.

Paul, what's the exhaust system? I don't recognise the headers.

[PetrolPaulie]

It is the Stainless Exhaust bought from Force, (who are always very helpfull) very expensive I was'nt going to bother at first, I thought I would just weld mine up and paint it black, but I know from past experience that you keep haveing to come back to things like that and this is my everyday transport so I went for Stainless Steel, I can recomend them they are very well made (by Motad) The headers are very difficult to make (difficult to bend that small a bore of pipe to such acute angles) it also left me in overdraft for two months, but I am glad that I got it now as it makes my life easier by requireing no maintenance.

This was supposed to contain your quote Bunker but your bit of writeing dissapeared somehow, i'm not very good with theese etch a sketches I keep haveing to ask my Lass how it works ! (the etch a sketch)
