Done It Meself -- Chuffed!!!
 

Going on a 3 week 4000km ride around Turkey in two weeks time, so I thought I'd make my own pannier racks rather than fork out a couple of hundred €€€'s. I bought some Kappa soft sling overs for when I went on a week long ride & had them resting slightly on the cans. There wasn't a problem with heat, but more with them sagging over, especially when fully loaded.

Anyway, here are the pics of my handy work, I got my mate to do the welding though...

So what do you guys reckon? The only thing I'm thinking of is putting a longer bolt through the zorst bracket. If you look in the picture you'll see it does not thread all the way through?

I HAVE BEEN THINKING THE SAME ABOUT DOING MY OWN AND LOOKING AT YOUR HANYWORK I HAVE DECIDED TO DO THE SAME ,THANKS FOR THE IDEA:sunny: WHAT CANS ARE THOSE
