| Clever idea that one as we all know how zips can fail and you could potentialy have a lot of weight in the bags  | |

| Good job Alfie and Nice looking bags  As Crash says you can carry a fair bit of weight in the bags especially over winter, those brackets will carry most of it and take the strain from the zips, Like you say ,why don't the makers supply them ? Because they charge about £25 for some bits of plastic which you've replicated at a fraction of the cost | |

| Alfie how did you actually fit the piece to the rear of the bags? | |

| Drill and screwed into pannier with 1" washer on to take some of the strain,bearing in mind the wieght is on the pannier bracket mainly,this is only for the protection of the zip,plus they also stop the panniers flitting around,saves tieing the shoe lace so to speak.Hope that helps the bracket is actualy a u shape,I am going to make new ones at mt leisure to incorperate a small bar with a hole in,which will be placed under the pannier bracket and placed inside the pannier to accept a small lock,for security reasons only.I will place the plans on here when done,(Got to do something it's boring in the winter). | |

| Nice one  Might stop a bit of scuffing as well. I had a pair of leather 'throwover' types where they zipped onto a leather centre panel, and that took the weight by hanging over the rear mudguard/under the passenger seat. But after just one trip to France, there were light scuff marks on the rear mudguard, which I think your brackets would help avoid. | |
