It might be cheaper and easier to look for that company that makes an easy removable and mountable baggage holder? Tbh I'm not sure if it is a Pannier system, and I think the name is 'Fortuna'.

I've seen a Gixer with the mounts fitted and heard rave reviews about them.

Should the title of this thread be "pannier support"? Or are you after something to help Mandy hang on while the panniers are on the bike?

Nah you need to implement the following regimes

1. Take less stuff with you

2. Mrs Quiff needs her own bike

Then you wont have a problem with panniers etc etc

I don't think carrying a big pack is safe TBH. At high speed the aerodynamics can be weird.

I reckon, a couple of studs stuck up inside the rear subframe, a bit of bent ally to bolt on in the correct _n_ shape to support the bottom of the panniers. With some stick-on foam on the bottom of the / \ angles to stop them from marking the tupperware.
