Indicator resited

Frames detached - 2 minute job

Tidy up caps in place - very neat

E21 on
[attachment=o11585]
Overall impression without long term use..very well made..very sturdy despite quick release mechanism...very neat looking bike when not touring...doddle to install - about 3 hours including initial weighing up the job. Bike at handlebars just under 800mm, with E21's on 870mm....
Bad points, the adapter top case mount i.e. the main lock is mounted to the frame via 2 x Allen bolts. Anybody with a 6mm key could remove the luggage. I may install some anti tamper or shear bolts.
The E21's are a bit pliable which means they flex on the back wall stopping me from push clicking them on and then once on they don't release from the push button for the same reason. No big deal,just open the case and operate the lock by thumb. Sturdier cases should be fine..maximum weight label for the frames including pannier 12.5kg..
Hope that luggage option is useful to someone...
