The photo on the Brunhilda Refurb thread shows a photo of the back of a pannier, I think it's the back ... with a reinforced central strap and snap buckle . Does that just go around the table leg frame or are there more straps ?

Got yer PM and responded. Samples are on the way - missed yesterday's post but should be there on Monday.

Now, bag attachment -



The triangular black bit of the strap goes over the rear sub-frame and the lower part of the strap goes behind the horizontal metal bar of the rack/coffee table, to stop the bottom of the bag swinging outwards.



Here is the outboard face of a bag. Note the two sets of buckle sockets.



The inner ones secure the bag and the outer ones are for the overstraps. The overstraps pull the bag tops together and the bags are supported on both sides (the scrotal effect). They end up being very secure. No problems in about 5k of touring so far.

Time taken to design and make these things is such that nobody could ever afford to pay for the labour component.
But I can recommend embarking on sewing adventures. Once you nail the correct line in the corners and get a bit of speed up in the straights, you will grin. And at the very least you will develop an appreciation of the skill levels possessed by those armies of slave labourers in sweatshops around the world.

Why sit on the mufflers when there's a seat to sit on?

Exactly my reaction. Apparently we are both bad.
