Hi all

Just had my Bumot panniers delivered today. Initial impressions are very good, top case fitted no problem.

Panniers are a bit more difficult. I have a 2015 UK non-ES bike and one of the things the bike doesn't come with as standard is pillion grab handles like the ones in this picture (taken from another thread).

I could buy the grab handles but they are not worth it (£150) for the number of times I will carry a pillion, and with the boxes fitted I can't see how you'd get your hands round them. Anyway I'm going off-topic.

Could anyone on the forum measure a set and tell me how deep they are at the mounting points so that I can make-up equivalent spacer pieces?

Thanks, Chris

I have a 2014 without handles and have sw motech racks fitted, I have just measured the spacers at 35mm.

Thanks for that.
I've had them on the bike and fitted up so they sit neatly. I'm thinking 45mm front and 55mm back so far.
I'll get them made and post the results.
