Oh no

I will need more luggage carrying capability as I will be with SWAMBO and need to be able to camp on occasions.
I am looking at fabricating 2 metal vertical racks that will reside either side of the bike engine beside the lower grey plastic protector. They will accommodate 2 soft panniers and perhaps a tool tube under each one.
As we will be 2 up all the time and despite tailoring my riding and route accordingly, falling off is likely to be a problem so it will also serve as a crash bar and maybe stop the weighty beast from injuring our legs.
The good thing is the weight will be low and near the centre of gravity to will upset the bike less.
Piccys when I do it...
