Many thanks guys. This is what I just love about Internet forums.
I'm flying back to Spain on Tuesday taking one of the panniers with the rails as hold luggage, the other as 'hand' luggage. The bike is stored with Hana and David of
MotoAdvenTours who have a fully-equipped workshop (including a tyre changing machine) so with the great instructions I should be on my way without delay and with the panniers and new TKC80s fitted.
I'm then heading into the melting pot of Morocco. If I can stand the heat I'm thinking of traversing the Rekkam Plateau and heading east to Figuig on the Algerian border. I've just been into Maplin and bought a digital thermometer with a remote 'outdoor' sensor that I can stick somewhere cool on the bike so I can track shade temperatures.
