fitting oxford humpback panniers
fitting oxford humpback panniers on A K4...
Having a bit of trouble, although only half reading the manual... It says the two large straps should go under the seat, but they dont seem to want to fit under the pillion seat. Anyone know how to fit these properly? Off to have another look now Cheers Dan |

The middle strap goes under the seat... the other two go over the seat and velcro to each other....
thats if the velcro's are the same as last years ones... I've used my panniers about 10 times, don't think they've ever fitted the same twice, its hit and miss just gotta get them stable |

Sorted. Kinda.
I was reading the manual wrong. Connect the two opposing straps togeather under the seat. Means just that, one strap on each side and not the two big ones! Doh! Dan |

I could then strap everything else (tent, etc.) to the panniers!  Make sure you use plenty of Oxford blanket type stuff as you will scratch your paintwork otherwise! |

Duct tape also works for protecting the paint.

 Man, you guys really scare me sometimes!On a pointy you can simply put the centre strap under the seat, the other two over, and then attach the adjustable straps to the hand rail and pillion foot pegs. No need for bungees then, and they are rock solid. Perfectly postioned for pillions to rest their legs on as well. My Mrs loves em! |

I left the top straps connected when removing the panniers from the bike! allof the straps were connected when they were fitted, even though the under seat straps weren't as long as they could have been! The panniers were so solid, they wouldn't even move a centimetre without being slackened off! |
