The OTR pannier frames are the dogs ******. Tough like you wouldnt believe, mine have been modified too take a tow bar. They are that strong...... Also the "Heath Robinson" attachment is awsome, fast and uber secure. Ive had 50+kg in each of my panniers and they are super solid. Plus panniers off or in under 10 seconds.
As for panniers find a local sheet metal worker and ask the question. Mine worked out ridiculously cheap. But i did call in a favour.
then you can have them whatever size you want.
Steel panniers
I have also been down the road (30ish mph)with panniers fitted acted like big crashbars no damage to bike whatsoever. Little graze on the box. Solid.
