I can remove the racks pretty quickly, it's just the indicators that are the problem. I could leave them squashed in as in 3rd pick and fit another set to the racks, got a couple of spare rear wans, then just swap over the wires. Deffo don't fancy just rack with no panniers. No big trip planned yet.

Yeah, not sure what they're there for, might just ease the bending/shaping of the bracket or could be a mk2 thing.

EDIT: Just checked and my front indicators, which are smaller aftermarket jobbies (see pic 4 above) will just fit the rear without fouling on the rack or panniers, sooooo, swap over front and rears, fit spare wans to rack and then its just plug n play. Might even only need to use small ones on rear, depends if the can be clearly seen with panniers on. If they're ok then I can remove the rack indicator brackets.
