    What an excellent result ! I agree with you about the importance of load-carrying on a bike. Having never seen the 350 Classic in the flesh I have always thought that any bags/panniers fitted on them stick out too far. I love your solution !
    I had a '93 Bullet 500 and fitted fibreglass ("HD-esque!") panniers from Acrybre Mouldings (Weymouth?) and managed to fit them lower + further back than usual. Not only did this look much better but enabled me to keep them closer to the centreline of the bike.
    I wish Enfield explained why they made the metalwork around the rear shocks stick out so much compared to the original Bullets. It definitely causes problems for those of us who always fitted panniers/top boxes to our bikes.

    Excellent idea using the brass fixing . And thinking outside the box with using toilet pipe brackets. That's actually made me think how my rear rack plate is fitted. I used the plastic "C" snap on brackets, when I could use stainless 15mm toilet clamps. The bags look great and a nice compromise with darker colour straps.

    Great stuff Glynn, I did similar with 15mm Munzen rings and screwed rod to stabilize/tie-down a cylinderical shaped chopper bag on a Sissy bar for a trip from London to Prague 2018 on my H-D.
    Glad you kept the solo seat it gives the bike it's character whilst showing off the rear mudguard, in my humble opinion when you tried the Bullet 2-up seat the bike lost something. I've bought lots of gear off of Motea (not for my RE yet) over the past couple of years and in general its usually good quality and a fairly fast delivery. Another enjoyable video sir.

    When I first saw the finished bike I thought it’s the best looking classic I’ve ever seen, bar that horrible piece of scaffolding around the engine. In the beginning of this video I thought those bags will outshine the crash bar but in the end they look rather good. Far nicer than I expected! Admittedly I prefer the full length RE bags, but these messenger bags do give this bike a well rounded look, nicely done with the brass fittings!

    I have used metal "P Clips" in the past on fibreglass boxes. You can also get them covered with black plastic.

    They never let me down + were checked only when I occasionally washed the bike.

    soft pannier on the left, I bought the L shaped pannier racks from Hitchcocks but they are not quite right so I'm thinking of selling and I think the pannier rails you have will do a better job. Pity you can't buy just one!

Just my thought. …. Pete🇫🇷

      Thanks Pete, they're just the right size for me, I don't need loads of room. Luckily they have a stiff plastic sheet in the back already and the canvas is folded around it internally so as long as the plastic is secure, the weight of the bag will hang on that. I've just been on the Amazon for some nice chunky washers to spread the force around the holes, there's always something else to get isn't there. Cheers, Glyn👍

    I bought on eBay a pair of "original" RE pannier frames and canvas (unwaxed) bags for my Classic 350 R, but I want a lockable pannier that can go on and come off easily.
    La Poderosa is a Spanish company that has nice gear, and they sell the German Klickfix clips separately, and these perhaps might work with your very nice Motea bags? They fit the Hitchcock rails, but not the RE frames grrr.

    Why does every new thing have to come with at least one bloody Allen key bolt? I hate Allen keys, as whenever you need one its always a toss up as to whether its going to be American or metric. Whatever it is, it sure as hell isn't going to be the ones you have on hand at the time.

    • @GlynOC
      @GlynOC  หลายเดือนก่อน

      They've become really popular haven't they? They make the head small but as you say, they can make getting a good purchase on the bolt a bit difficult. I bought an allen drive set for my socket set about ten years ago. If I didn't have that I imagine it would be torture having to work with the little right angle keys, I think that's what causes the problems. They just don't feel 'nice' or rewarding to use do they?
