Soooooooo like I said, is there anyone within a reasonable distance that will meet up with a bike with Touratech frames that we can compare and resolve this issue? Get some pics and try and come to some sort of conclusion? Just an idea.
PS I have some smaller Pelican Boxes that I got for my little SRX6 (which has now gone), which would make much better short weekend luggage carrying and especially for light off roading (plastic and water sealed). I am trying to think of some sort of method to attach to the MM frames without drilling thew boxes themselves. Will post pics when (if) I get this done.
