Do the waterproof covers stay on Oxford paniers?

No they rip to shreds if you do proper speeds.

I've just paid £65 to go to Europe next weekend & found out that the calipers I ordered from the States for my Ninja have been returned to sender so little hope of getting them in time. I have very little braking power left on my bike

My Sv is also knackered cos I tried to change exhausts

Have fun!

Only problem is my oversuit gives no grip on the seat so I't like sitting on a bike made of greased eels. Perhaps I could sit on some of the grippy rubber stuff Oxford gave me with the luggage. Or perhaps I should just enjoy the well lubricated eel experience.

Just had this email

I just got back from the Post Office. UGH! UK
Customes returned the pacakge quoting "inconsistent
product description with contents". I listed the
contents as 'used motorcycle brake calipers'. I have
no idea what the hell they thought they were.
I told you'd that you'd get your calipers before your
trip and so you shall. I'm sending them UPS Expidited
so they arrive on Monday for you

So could be OK

Argh why are customs a law unto themselves The sender is obviously not going to get any compensation off anyone? I feel bad for him - cost of doing business I suppose?
